Hidden Structure in the Solutions Set of the N Queens Problem

Artificial Intelligence 2019-09-13 v1

Abstract

Some preliminary results are reported on the equivalence of any n-queens problem with the roots of a Boolean valued quadratic form via a generic dimensional reduction scheme. It is then proven that the solutions set is encoded in the entries of a special matrix. Further examination reveals a direct association with pointwise Boolean fractal operators applied on certain integer sequences associated with this matrix suggesting the presence of an underlying special geometry of the solutions set.
