Conventional constellation design methods often assume a symmetric pattern and optimize the common orbital characteristics with that assumption.
“While conventional constellation design methods often assume a symmetric pattern (e.g., Walker constellations [6-8]) and optimize the common orbital characteristics (e.g., altitude, inclination) with that assumption”
From Satellite Constellation Pattern Optimization for Complex Regional Coverage (2020) · cites this paper as [7]
Classical methods leveraging symmetry usually lead to redundant coverage overlaps and therefore may not produce an optimal constellation design in terms of the number of satellites over a bounded local region.
“However, this usually leads to redundant coverage overlaps and therefore may not produce an optimal constellation design in terms of the number of satellites over a bounded local region.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
