    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.

    The general problem of solving Sudoku puzzles on n 2 ×n 2 grids of n×n blocks is known to be NP-complete. [8] A puzzle can be expressed as a graph coloring problem. [9] The aim is to construct a 9-coloring of a particular graph, given a partial 9-coloring. The Sudoku graph has 81 vertices, one vertex for each cell.

    Many Sudoku solving algorithms, such as brute force-backtracking and dancing links can solve most 9×9 puzzles efficiently, but combinatorial explosion occurs as n increases, creating practical limits to the properties of Sudokus that can be constructed, analyzed, and solved as n increases.

    After an introductory chapter on Sudoku and its deductive puzzle-solving techniques [1] (also touching on Euler tours and Hamiltonian cycles), [5] the book has eight more chapters and an epilogue. Chapters two and three discuss Latin squares , the thirty-six officers problem , Leonhard Euler 's incorrect conjecture on Graeco-Latin squares , and ...
