  2. Sudoku solving algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_solving_algorithms

    Some hobbyists have developed computer programs that will solve Sudoku puzzles using a backtracking algorithm, which is a type of brute force search. [3] Backtracking is a depth-first search (in contrast to a breadth-first search), because it will completely explore one branch to a possible solution before moving to another branch.

  3. Brute-force search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brute-force_search

    A brute-force algorithm that finds the divisors of a natural number n would enumerate all integers from 1 to n, and check whether each of them divides n without remainder. A brute-force approach for the eight queens puzzle would examine all possible arrangements of 8 pieces on the 64-square chessboard and for each arrangement, check whether ...

  4. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    Backtracking is a class of algorithms for finding solutions to some computational problems, notably constraint satisfaction problems, that incrementally builds candidates to the solutions, and abandons a candidate ("backtracks") as soon as it determines that the candidate cannot possibly be completed to a valid solution.

  5. Clique problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_problem

    The brute force algorithm finds a 4-clique in this 7-vertex graph (the complement of the 7-vertex path graph) by systematically checking all C(7,4) = 35 4-vertex subgraphs for completeness. In computer science , the clique problem is the computational problem of finding cliques (subsets of vertices, all adjacent to each other, also called ...

  6. Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    A string-matching algorithm wants to find the starting index m in string S[] that matches the search word W[].. The most straightforward algorithm, known as the "brute-force" or "naive" algorithm, is to look for a word match at each index m, i.e. the position in the string being searched that corresponds to the character S[m].

  7. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

    Various branch-and-bound algorithms, which can be used to process TSPs containing thousands of cities. Solution of a TSP with 7 cities using a simple Branch and bound algorithm. Note: The number of permutations is much less than Brute force search. Progressive improvement algorithms, which use techniques reminiscent of linear programming. This ...

  8. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    Brute force consists of checking all assignments of zeros and ones and counting those that have balanced rows and columns (n / 2 zeros and n / 2 ones). As there are 2 n 2 {\displaystyle 2^{n^{2}}} possible assignments and ( n n / 2 ) n {\displaystyle {\tbinom {n}{n/2}}^{n}} sensible assignments, this strategy is not practical except maybe up to ...

  9. Proof by exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_exhaustion

    Proof by exhaustion, also known as proof by cases, proof by case analysis, complete induction or the brute force method, is a method of mathematical proof in which the statement to be proved is split into a finite number of cases or sets of equivalent cases, and where each type of case is checked to see if the proposition in question holds.
