On Algorithms for Solving the Rubik's Cube

In this paper, we present a novel algorithm and its three variations for solving the Rubik's cube more efficiently. This algorithm can be used to solve the complete $n \times n \times n$ cube in $O(\frac{n^2}{\log n})$ moves. This algorithm can also be useful in certain cases for speedcubers. We will prove that our algorithm always works and then perform a basic analysis on the algorithm to determine its algorithmic complexity of $O(n^2)$. Finally, we further optimize this complexity to $O(\frac{n^2}{\log n})$.
