    If the size of the state space is finite, calculating the size of the state space is a combinatorial problem. [4] For example, in the Eight queens puzzle, the state space can be calculated by counting all possible ways to place 8 pieces on an 8x8 chessboard. This is the same as choosing 8 positions without replacement from a set of 64, or

    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]

    Minimum maximal independent set a.k.a. minimum independent dominating set [4] NP-complete special cases include the minimum maximal matching problem, [3]: GT10 which is essentially equal to the edge dominating set problem (see above). Metric dimension of a graph [3]: GT61 Metric k-center; Minimum degree spanning tree; Minimum k-cut

  5. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    The classic textbook example of the use of backtracking is the eight queens puzzle, that asks for all arrangements of eight chess queens on a standard chessboard so that no queen attacks any other. In the common backtracking approach, the partial candidates are arrangements of k queens in the first k rows of the board, all in different rows and ...

    Input: A graph G and a starting vertex root of G. Output: Goal state.The parent links trace the shortest path back to root [9]. 1 procedure BFS(G, root) is 2 let Q be a queue 3 label root as explored 4 Q.enqueue(root) 5 while Q is not empty do 6 v := Q.dequeue() 7 if v is the goal then 8 return v 9 for all edges from v to w in G.adjacentEdges(v) do 10 if w is not labeled as explored then 11 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-conflicts_algorithm

    Animation of min-conflicts resolution of 8-queens. First stage assigns columns greedily minimizing conflicts, then solves. 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 ...

  8. State-space representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-space_representation

    The state space or phase space is the geometric space in which the axes are the state variables. The system state can be represented as a vector , the state vector . If the dynamical system is linear, time-invariant, and finite-dimensional, then the differential and algebraic equations may be written in matrix form.

    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)
