[#R542] Exact search through the 7 by 7 grid

View replayOpen source ↗

1Summary

Exact backtracking gives \(f(2),\ldots,f(7)=3,5,6,8,10,12\).

The search adds grid points one at a time. Exact integer determinants reject a third point on any occupied line and a fourth point on any occupied circle. Branch-and-bound proves the optimum at each order from 2 through 7. The values agree with \(2n-2\) for \(4\leq n\leq7\).

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: every square grid order from 2 through 7.
