In search of the 62208 orbital model

Postby Maq777 » Mon Mar 23, 2026 1:24 am

Hello,

I'm looking for more examples of orbitals with 62208 models. I have these six; does anyone know of any more?

If you have them and could share them, I would greatly appreciate it.

Best regards

Hi, Maq777!
What does it mean "62208 orbital model"? What property of Sudoku solution grids do you mean?

Hi Serg,

I'm referring to this line which indicates that there are 11 different orbits with 62208 patterns. I have already identified 6 of those 11 orbits, and I was wondering if anyone has already identified Sudoku examples of the other 5 that I am missing.

Code: Select all
#ORBIT   COUNT       MODELS
1        1           5184
2        1           20736
3        3           31104
4        2           46656
5        11          62208  <----
6        15          93312
7        2           124416
8        85          186624
9        92          279936
10       42          373248
11       29          419904
12       1257        559872
13       2826        839808
14       7336        1119744
15       548449      1679616
16       5472170387  3359232

Hi, Maq777!
If I understood you correctly, you want to get the list of Sudoku solution grids having exactly 54 (3359232/62208) automorphisms under the group of VPT (validity preserving transformations, such as swapping rows in a band, swapping stacks, transposing, etc.). You expect to find 11 such solution grids, but found 6 of them only, right?

Hi, Maq777!
Here is the list of automorphic Sudoku solution grids having 27 or more automorphisms (posted by gsf in 2007).
