  2. State space (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_space_(computer_science)

    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

  3. Eight queens puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle

    The eight queens puzzle is the problem of placing eight chess queens on an 8×8 chessboard so that no two queens threaten each other; thus, a solution requires that no two queens share the same row, column, or diagonal. There are 92 solutions.

  4. Min-conflicts algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min-conflicts_algorithm

    N-Queens is easy for local search because solutions are densely distributed throughout the state space. It is also effective for hard problems. For example, it has been used to schedule observations for the Hubble Space Telescope, reducing the time taken to schedule a week of observations from three weeks to around 10 minutes. [5]

  5. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    The accept procedure should return true if c is a complete and valid solution for the problem instance P, and false otherwise. It may assume that the partial candidate c and all its ancestors in the tree have passed the reject test. The general pseudo-code above does not assume that the valid solutions are always leaves of the potential search ...

  6. Combinatorial search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_search

    Some algorithms are guaranteed to find the optimal solution, while others may only return the best solution found in the part of the state space that was explored. Classic combinatorial search problems include solving the eight queens puzzle or evaluating moves in games with a large game tree, such as reversi or chess.

    This sum can also be found in the four outer numbers clockwise from the corners (3+8+14+9) and likewise the four counter-clockwise (the locations of four queens in the two solutions of the 4 queens puzzle [50]), the two sets of four symmetrical numbers (2+8+9+15 and 3+5+12+14), the sum of the middle two entries of the two outer columns and rows ...

  8. State space search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_space_search

    State space search is a process used in the field of computer science, including artificial intelligence (AI), in which successive configurations or states of an instance are considered, with the intention of finding a goal state with the desired property. Problems are often modelled as a state space, a set of states that a problem

  9. State space planning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_space_planning

    In artificial intelligence and computer programming, state space planning is a process used in designing programs to search for data or solutions to problems. In a computer algorithm that searches a data structure for a piece of data, for example a program that looks up a word in a computer dictionary, the state space is a collective term for all the data to be searched.
