Michael Simkin, post-doctoral fellow at Harvard’s CMSA, has an answer for the 150-year-old chess-based n-queens problem. An article on the n-queens problem and its answer is in The Harvard Gazette. The paper “The number of n-queens configurations” is available on arXiv.org.
Jan 25, 2022 · In July 2021, one such challenge was finally solved – at least, up to a point. Mathematician Michael Simkin, from Harvard University in Massachusetts, put his mind to the n-queens problem that has been puzzling experts since it was first imagined in the 1840s.
Oct 1, 2021 · Abstract: The n-queens problem is to determine Q (n), the number of ways to place n mutually non-threatening queens on an n times n board.
