  2. Sudoku solving algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_solving_algorithms

    A Sudoku starts with some cells containing numbers (clues), and the goal is to solve the remaining cells. Proper Sudokus have one solution. [1] Players and investigators use a wide range of computer algorithms to solve Sudokus, study their properties, and make new puzzles, including Sudokus with interesting symmetries and other properties.

  3. Mathematics of Sudoku - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_Sudoku

    A Sudoku whose regions are not (necessarily) square or rectangular is known as a Jigsaw Sudoku. In particular, an N × N square where N is prime can only be tiled with irregular N -ominoes . For small values of N the number of ways to tile the square (excluding symmetries) has been computed (sequence A172477 in the OEIS ). [ 10 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taking_Sudoku_Seriously

    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 ...

    A Sudoku variant with prime N (7×7) and solution. (with Japanese symbols). Overlapping grids. The classic 9×9 Sudoku format can be generalized to an N×N row-column grid partitioned into N regions, where each of the N rows, columns and regions have N cells and each of the N digits occur once in each row, column or region.

  7. Sudoku code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_code

    The constraints of Sudoku codes are non-linear: all symbols within a constraint (row, line, sub-grid) must be different from any other symbol within this constraint. Hence there is no all-zero codeword in Sudoku codes. Sudoku codes can be represented by probabilistic graphical model in which they take the form of a low-density parity-check code ...

  8. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    Backtracking is an important tool for solving constraint satisfaction problems, [2] such as crosswords, verbal arithmetic, Sudoku, and many other puzzles. It is often the most convenient technique for parsing, [3] for the knapsack problem and other combinatorial optimization problems.

  9. KenKen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KenKen

    As in Sudoku, the goal of each puzzle is to fill a grid with digits –– 1 through 4 for a 4×4 grid, 1 through 5 for a 5×5, 1 through 6 for a 6×6, etc. –– so that no digit appears more than once in any row or any column (a Latin square). Grids range in size from 3×3 to 9×9.
