Introduction

Sudoku is a popular number game played all over the world. In this report, we generate different random instances of varying sized Sudoku boards, reduce to solve using a SAT solver, consider the chance a randomly generated Sudoku board is satisfiable, and build our own Sudoku solver. This report is created for the course COMP 6902.

The model of the project is found in the /Model/ directory and run using the main.py file.

Reproduce Results

The various experiments are found in the /Experiments/ directory as Jupyter Notebook files.

Please note that you would need to install minisat solver to run these files. If you wish to use any of the many other SAT solvers that take in a DIMACS formatted file as input, you can change the bash command to suit that solver.
