  2. Eight queens puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

    Nauck also extended the puzzle to the n queens problem, with n queens on a chessboard of n×n squares. Since then, many mathematicians, including Carl Friedrich Gauss, have worked on both the eight queens puzzle and its generalized n-queens version. In 1874, S. Günther proposed a method using determinants to find solutions. [1]

  3. Min-conflicts algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-conflicts_algorithm

    Min-Conflicts solves the N-Queens Problem by selecting a column from the chess board for queen reassignment. The algorithm searches each potential move for the number of conflicts (number of attacking queens), shown in each square. The algorithm moves the queen to the square with the minimum number of conflicts, breaking ties randomly. Note ...

  4. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    At each node c, the algorithm checks whether c can be completed to a valid solution. If it cannot, the whole sub-tree rooted at c is skipped (pruned). Otherwise, the algorithm (1) checks whether c itself is a valid solution, and if so reports it to the user; and (2) recursively enumerates all sub-trees of c. The two tests and the children of ...

    Algorithm X is a recursive, nondeterministic, depth-first, backtracking algorithm that finds all solutions to the exact cover problem. Some of the better-known exact cover problems include tiling , the n queens problem , and Sudoku .

  7. Exact cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_cover

    The N queens problem is the problem of placing n chess queens on an n×n chessboard so that no two queens threaten each other. A solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal. It is an example of a generalized exact cover problem. [5]

    There is no polynomial f(n) that gives the number of solutions of the n-Queens Problem. Zaslav 04:39, 12 March 2014 (UTC) I believe that paper provides an algorithm to find a solution to an N-queens problem for large N, not to calculate the number of solutions. Jibal 10:17, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
