  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

    In computer science, brute-force search or exhaustive search, also known as generate and test, is a very general problem-solving technique and algorithmic paradigm that consists of systematically checking all possible candidates for whether or not each candidate satisfies the problem's statement.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Conflict-driven clause learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-Driven_Clause...

    In this small example, one can use brute-force search to try all possible assignments and check if they satisfy the formula. But in realistic applications with millions of variables and clauses brute force search is impractical.

  7. 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. [1]

  8. Travelling salesman problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

    Such a constrained 2k-city TSP can then be solved with brute-force methods to find the least-cost recombination of the original fragments. The most popular of the k-opt methods are 3-opt, as introduced by Shen Lin of Bell Labs in 1965. A special case of 3-opt is where the edges are not disjoint (two of the edges are adjacent to one another).

  9. Birthday attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack

    If these are all equally probable (the best case), then it would take 'only' approximately 5 billion attempts (5.38 × 10 9) to generate a collision using brute force. [8] This value is called birthday bound [9] and it could be approximated as 2 l/2, where l is the number of bits in H. [10] Other examples are as follows:
