This repository contains some code I wrote for solving sudokus in different ways, most notably various Monte-Carlo solvers. It also holds a set of notes (in German) that I collected about enumerations of sudokus and solutions and about different ways to solve solutions.

It containsh a library with

• a sudoku class
• an ordinary backtracking solver (works well)
• a bunch of Monte Carlo solvers (most of them work well)
• a Nelder-Mead solver (doesn't work well)

Also a bit of experimental matlab code

• a Newton method solver (doesn't work well)
• a quadratic programming solver (incomplete)
