A Retrievable GA for Solving Sudoku Puzzles A Retrievable GA for Solving Sudoku Puzzles

In this paper we propose a modification to Genetic Algorithm which we call as Retrievable Genetic Algorithm (Ret-GA) and use it to solve a given Sudoku puzzle. Although a number of approaches exist for solving a given Sudoku puzzle, very few papers with heuristic approaches are available for obtaining its solution. In this work, the fitness function is modeled in a new way considering puzzle-ch...

Word puzzles

One of the most remarkable human abilities is that of learning a language. Not only do people learn to speak, but more recently they have learned to read — to associate the spoken sounds with written symbols. It is an extraordinary biological achievement, particularly as written language is relatively new. In a new review published (online) within a special issue of the Philosophical Transactio...

Techniques for Solving Sudoku Puzzles

Solving Sudoku puzzles is one of the most popular pastimes in the world. Puzzles range in difficulty from easy to very challenging; the hardest puzzles tend to have the most empty cells. The current paper explains and compares three algorithms for solving Sudoku puzzles. Backtracking, simulated annealing, and alternating projections are generic methods for attacking combinatorial optimization p...
