  14. A Sudoku is a 9 by 9 grid of digits in which every row, every column, and every 3 by 3 box with thick borders contains each digit from 1 to 9 exactly once. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  20. (Side comment: the Sudoku on the right has only 17 “filled-in” entries, yet it has a unique solution. It is conjectured that this is the smallest possible number of “givens” one can have and still have a unique solution.)

  26. Divizio Unu: Ekvivalenta malgranda Sudokoj Part One: Equivalent mini-Sudokus For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  27. To keep things simple, we’ll consider the smaller case of 4 by 4 Sudokus; we call these mini-Sudokus. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  28. There are several obvious ways to obtain a new mini-Sudoku from an old one. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  29. For example, you can switch the first two columns. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  31. You may not switch columns willy-nilly; tan and lavender either switch or stay fixed. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  32. Of course, in addition to permuting columns, we can also permute rows . . . For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  38. We say two mini-Sudokus are equivalent if you can get from one to the other via a finite sequenceof row/column permutations, transpositions, and relabellings. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  40. We say two mini-Sudokus are equivalent if you can get from one to the other via a finite sequenceof row/column permutations, transpositions, and relabellings. Are all mini-Sudokus equivalent? For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  41. Given any mini-Sudoku, we can always apply a relabelling to get a new mini-Sudoku of this form: For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  44. The mini-Sudoku is then determined by this entry: For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs

  45. So, every mini-Sudoku is equivalent to one of three mini-Sudokus. For slideshow: click “Research and Talks” from www.calstatela.edu/faculty/mkrebs
