The New Sudoku Players' Forum

I think we should have an own thread about these "gangs"

these are classes of 3*9 subsudokugrids

Code: Select all

+---+---+---+
|123|456|789|
|456|789|123|
|789|123|456|
+---+---+---+


the number of ways to complete this to a full sudoku , having this as its first band
only depends on the numbers that are used in each minicolumn (=column of 3 numbers) and
not on their order in the minicolumn.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

see the long thread about sudoku's maths for the
"gang of the 44"

viewtopic.php?t=44&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=225



each 3*9 chute in a sudoku is from one of the 44 classes.
Allowed operations are:
permute the symbols
permute columns 1,2,3
permute columns 4,5,6
permute columns 7,8,9
permute the 3 blocks
permute the entries in mini-column 1
permute the entries in mini-column 2
...
permute the entries in mini-column 9


this gives 6 numbers from 1..44 for the 6 chutes in a sudoku
to characterize the type of a sudoku.


you can permute the 3 entries in the 9 minicolumns in a band independently to get a new sudoku.
There are typically ~ 32 ways to do this.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

this "gang of 44" is important when we want to count all the sudokugrids,
but our typical way to consider classes of bands would be to identify bands
that can be transformed into each other by

permuting the 3 rows
permuting the 3 minicolumns within one of the 3 blocks of 3 minicolumns
permuting the 3 blocks
permuting the symbols

this gives 416 classes of bands , the "gang of 416"

[dukuso]

in a band, you either have only 3 different mini-row-sets (gangsters 1-21)
or all the 27 3-sets are different (gangsters 22-44) .

in case 1 the minimal isomorphic representative starts with

Code: Select all

123456789
456......
.........


in case 2 it starts with

Code: Select all

123456789
457......
.........


this gives a 4 bit characterization number for a sudokugrid S-class (symmetry class, 5.5e9 of them)
(how many bands have only 3 different minirows-sets ?)
how many towers have only 3 different minicolumn-sets ?)
2 sorted counts from {0,1,2,3} , 10 combinations ~ 3.32 bits

[coloin]

I believe some non-isomorphic grids share the same index416 - but these concerned grids with a band with a repeating minirow [0-30 /416 ] [~5% OF GRIDS]

With all bands above 30 in the 416 classification - maybe the signature is definitive eg [36,145,345: 67,178,378]

[dukuso]

the run is finished after 7.5h with 3.2GHz .
11555445688 grids were created, 5734297654 of them had
a smaller ordered triple of 416-gangsters in bands than its transpose,
41091 had the same triple as its transpose.
10895 different ordered triples of 44-gangster-bands did occur
counts in http://magictour.free.fr/triples.44

3 numbers for the 44-gangster-indices of the bands
then occurrance count for that triple in the bands of the
~1.2e10 generated grids
then occurrance count for that triple in the towers of the
~1.2e10 generated grids

does it create a grid from each T-class ?
------edit------
no, e.g. no grid with bands 16,26,40 does occur in the list
of G-classes, but such grids do exist
-----edit again------
it does ! just 16,40,26 = #212938 so I had overlooked it
so the question whether all T-classes are created is still open
ince I don't remember what I did in July,August 2005
------------
a theoretical speed factor of 2 should be possible
by checking the bands only once per G-class
------------------------
now do the same for 416-3 tuples, the program could easily be adapted,
but it's much slower (~18days vs. ~7.5hours). This must be due to RAM-caching
(416^3/3!*4*2 bytes) since the program is almost the same.

[dukuso]

make a list of all grids with same 416-sixtuple but from diffferent S-classes

make a list of all 5.5e9 S-classes sorted by their ordered 416-sixtuple


my numbering of the 44-gang an 416-gang is maybe not most canonical
we should agree on a standard numbering

lexicographically minimal for a sudoku with that gangster as first band ?
but we would also want it to be ordered such that 416-classes with same
44-class are adjacent, and classes are grouped by their properties

[coloin]

Yes Red Eds gang of 44 was different from yours.......

The thread canonical form approached some of the issues...

from there page 3

Ah... Ive done it ..... 3 pairs of different grids out of 32247 had the same index416.

[dukuso]

are you saying index416 is not working correctly ?

or it just uses a different enumeration of the gangsters
(not-lexminimal)

I did change Kjell's enumeration (don't remember the exact reason, maybe just historical,
it fits with an earlier enumeration)

maybe Kjell's original enumeration was lexminimal ?! shall I post the program with the original
enumeration ?

[coloin]

Looking through the canonical form thread - this is indeed the case [unfortunatly] see commennt from Kjellfp.

Thread was the forerunner for gsf to amass and compress the 5e9 grids

The duplicates tended to occur with 416 band 1-30. As above.

Maybe there needs to be more than 416 bands.

As I tried to work out in the thread.....

416^2 - = upper limit of essentially different B[1]2347s - which I believe must be an underestimate.

C

[ronk]

Would someone please provide links to where the gang of 44 and gang or 416 are enumerated? TIA

[dukuso]

what is indeed the case ?
that index416 is not working correctly ?

Gang of the 44:
a collection of 44 9-tupels of 3-sets which classifies
each sudokubands. (link to Frazer)
A sudokugrid is sometimes characterized by the numbers
of the "gangsters" for its 6 chutes.


416: (give it a name ?) (link)
the number of different equivalence classes for a band
in a sudokugrid.
A sudokugrid is sometimes characterized by the 6 numbers
of the 416-classes of its 6 chutes.
This is often, but not always sufficient to uniquely
determine the equivalence-class of a sudokugrid


Equivalence-Class of a sudokugrid:
two sudokugrids are equivalent, if one can be transformed into
the
other by
permuting the 9 symbols
permuting rows in a band
permuting columns in a stack
permuting bands
permuting stacks
transposing
This gives 545655555 essentially different sudokugrids or
Equivalence classes

------------------------------------------------

here is a repost of the enumeration method using
the "gang44"-representatives. I couldn't find the original post,
but maybe it's still there. Anyway, here is it again:


Let S be the collection of the 84 subsets of {1,..,9} of size 3.
Let T be the collection of the 4741632000 9-tupels (S1,..,S9)
with members from S such that
S1+S2+S3=S4+S5+S6=S7+S8+S9={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} ,
where "+" is set-union.
Let 2 members from T be equivalent if one can be obtained
from the other by one of the known obvious 6^4*9! operations.
Then we get the collection E of the known 44 minimal elements from T,
one from each equivalence class, called "the gang of the 44".
For M in T let C(M) be its equivalent representative in E.
For M in E let Z(M) be the size of its equivalence class.
For M in E let N(M) be the number of partial 3*9 sudoku grids
compatible with M with respect to the 6^9 operations
of permuting inside a column.
The 2*44 values of N(M),Z(M) are constant within one class and
can be calculated quickly.
For each M=(M1,..,M9) in T let U(M) be the set of the 175616
3-tupels (M,A,B) in T^3 , A=(A1,..,A9),B=(B1,..,B9)
such that Mi+Ai+Bi={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} for each 1<=i<=9.
----------------------------------------------------------
then the total number of sudokus is the sum over all M in E,
over all (M,A,B) in U(M)
of Z(M)*N(M)*N(C(A))*N(C(B)).
----------------------------------------------------------
This indeed adds up to 6670903752021072936960.
There are 7727104 summands in total, but since many of the
N(x) and Z(x) coincide, only 1398 summands are different.

You can easily save a factor of 2 by discarding triples
in U(M) with A>B.
Maybe another factor of 3 can be saved by requiring M<A<B,
but that makes things more complicated.


How can we calculate the total number of sudoku-classes
as defined by RedEd but discarding transposition
with this method ? 5472730538

sum over all M in E,
over all (M,A,B) in U(M)
of Z(M)*Q(M)*Q(C(A))*Q(C(B))
gives 19859770556




E = "gang" of the 44
=====================

(1) M, element of E, minimal in its class ("ganger" or "gangster" ?)
(2) C(M)
(3) N(M) , number of compatible 3*9 sudokus (bands)
(4) Q(M) number of classes of compatible bands (from the gang of 416)
(5) Z(M) , number of 9-tupels from T in the class

-------------------------------------------------
sum:11352,416,4741632000


60713 out of the 85184=44^3 tupels of 3 members
from the list can be joined to form a valid 9*9 sudoku.


-----------------------------

there are 6670903752021072936960 sudokugrids from
5472730538 equivalence classes ("S-classes")

where grids are S-equivalent, if they can be transformed into
each other by

permuting symbols
permuting the 3 rows in some stack
permuting the 3 columns in some band
permuting the 3 stacks
permuting the 3 bands
transposing

these 6 groups of transformations do commute and give
9!*6^8*2 transformations in total.


When we omit transposition, we get 10945437157 "T-classes",
23919 S-classes have only 1 T-class, the other S-classes
have 2 T-classes.


there are only 306693 classes ("G-classes"), when we also allow
permuting the 3 entries in any minicolumn but remove (not allow?) transposition.
These 306693 classes generate 11555445688 sudokugrids,
by permuting minicolumns modulo permuting rows in a band,
at least one from each S-class. They can be generated in about
5 hours but storing them requires too much memory.

Many sudoku-properties are an invariant of the S-class and thus
an invariant of the T-class and some can be checked by checking
these 11555445688 generated sudokus.


10895 ordered 3-tuples of "gangsters" from the "gang of the 44"
occur in sudokugrids.
Between 1 and 985 G-class-representatives
correspond to one such triple. Many triples have just only a few
G-class members - half of them less than 10.
Most (985) "belong" to the triple (18,35,37).
Remember, these 18,35,37 were among the most
frequent in random sudokus and in Gordon's 17s.

what is indeed the case ?
that index416 is not working correctly ?

well it seems to work for grids which start >31- 416

but I dont understand how it can

Is the number of essentially different B12347 greater than 416^2 ?????

gang of the 44
================

(1) (allowed sudoku-) 9-tupel of 3-sets for the 3 entries in the 9 columns
123456789123456789123456789 = ({1,2,3},{4,5,6},...)

Why listed in this order? Why not as they would have to appear in an allowed sudoku-grid, just row-order lexicographically minimal

As in ... 123456789456789123789123456

gsf, shouldn't -gtm.0 -e"uniq(%#mc)" on the template below generate all 44 subgrids I get only one (using version 20090116).

C

even if it is ... no problem.
5.5e9 is also greater than 416^3.
You may permute columns in a tower (of a band) - but only simultaneously !
If you have two compatible bands then permuting each may give only 416 classes
but you are not allowed to permute them both independently.
So there are more classes of B123456 than 416^2

For B12347 block 1 is special, 9 ways to select it, and the digits in it are also
non-invariant

historically ...
I used them as bitmaps, the order in a minicolumn doesn't matter
the above gangster 123456789123456789123456789
would encode as 14,112,896,14,112,896,14,112,896

I see, it's confusing, so I changed it now.
