New explicit solution to the N-Queens Problem and its relation to the Millennium Problem
Abstract
Using modular arithmetic of the ring we obtain a new short solution to the problem of existence of at least one solution to the -Queens problem on an chessboard. It was proved, that these solutions can be represented as the Queen function with the width fewer or equal to 3. It is shown, that this estimate could not be reduced. A necessary and sufficient condition of being a composition of solutions a solution is found. Based on the obtained results we formulate a conjecture about the width of the representation of arbitrary solution. If this conjecture is valid, it entails solvability of the -Queens completion in polynomial time. The connection between the -Queens completion and the Millennium vs Problem is found by the group of mathematicians from Scotland in August 2017.
