    Sudoku can be solved using stochastic (random-based) algorithms. [9] [10] An example of this method is to: Randomly assign numbers to the blank cells in the grid. Calculate the number of errors. "Shuffle" the inserted numbers until the number of mistakes is reduced to zero. A solution to the puzzle is then found.

    Mathematical context. The general problem of solving Sudoku puzzles on n2 × n2 grids of n × n blocks is known to be NP-complete. [8] A puzzle can be expressed as a graph coloring problem. [9] The aim is to construct a 9-coloring of a particular graph, given a partial 9-coloring. The Sudoku graph has 81 vertices, one vertex for each cell.

  4. Killer sudoku - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_Sudoku

    Killer sudoku. Killer sudoku (also killer su doku, sumdoku, sum doku, sumoku, addoku, or samunamupure) is a puzzle that combines elements of sudoku and kakuro. Despite the name, the simpler killer sudokus can be easier to solve than regular sudokus, depending on the solver's skill at mental arithmetic; the hardest ones, however, can take hours ...

    The world's first live TV Sudoku show, Sudoku Live, was a puzzle contest first broadcast on July 1, 2005, on Sky One. It was presented by Carol Vorderman. Nine teams of nine players (with one celebrity in each team) representing geographical regions competed to solve a puzzle.

    Taking Sudoku Seriously. Taking Sudoku Seriously: The math behind the world's most popular pencil puzzle is a book on the mathematics of Sudoku. It was written by Jason Rosenhouse and Laura Taalman, and published in 2011 by the Oxford University Press. The Basic Library List Committee of the Mathematical Association of America has suggested its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    The problem for graphs is NP-complete if the edge lengths are assumed integers. The problem for points on the plane is NP-complete with the discretized Euclidean metric and rectilinear metric. The problem is known to be NP-hard with the (non-discretized) Euclidean metric. [ 3]: ND22, ND23. Vehicle routing problem.

  8. Sudoku graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_graph

    Sudoku graph. In the mathematics of Sudoku, the Sudoku graph is an undirected graph whose vertices represent the cells of a (blank) Sudoku puzzle and whose edges represent pairs of cells that belong to the same row, column, or block of the puzzle. The problem of solving a Sudoku puzzle can be represented as precoloring extension on this graph.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sudoku_solving...

    Sudoku is being mapped into a larger problem space that encompasses all exact cover problems. This doesn't automatically make Sudoku as mapped NP complete; some clever person would have to verify that the Sudoku mapping subspace has the NP-complete property of the parent set (usually it does).
