Evolutionary Algorithm for Generation of Entertaining Shinro Logic Puzzles
نویسنده
چکیده
A Shinro puzzle is a type of deductive reasoning puzzle that originated in Japanese periodicals. To solve the puzzle, one must locate twelve hidden stones on an 8x8 grid using only clues in the form of stone counts per row and column, and arrows placed in the grid that point to some of the hidden stones. Construction of these puzzles by hand is tedious. We explore the use of a simple genetic algorithm that automates construction of Shinro puzzles with desirable qualities which improve their entertainment value.

Presenting an evolutionary improved algorithm for the multi-objective problem of distribution network reconfiguration in the presence of distributed generation sources and capacitor units with regard to load uncertainty.
Reconfiguration of distribution network feeders is one of the well-known and effective strategies in the distribution network to obtain a new optimal configuration for the distribution feeders by managing the status of switches in the distribution network. This study formulates the multi-objective problem of reconfiguration of a distribution network in the optimal presence of distributed genera...
متن کاملAppraisal of the evolutionary-based methodologies in generation of artificial earthquake time histories
Through the last three decades different seismological and engineering approaches for the generation of artificial earthquakes have been proposed. Selection of an appropriate method for the generation of applicable artificial earthquake accelerograms (AEAs) has been a challenging subject in the time history analysis of the structures in the case of the absence of sufficient recorded accelerogra...
متن کاملDesigning a Meta-Heuristic Algorithm Based on a Simple Seeking Logic
Nowadays, in majority of academic contexts, it has been tried to consider the highest possible level of similarities to the real world. Hence, most of the problems have complicated structures. Traditional methods for solving almost all of the mathematical and optimization problems are inefficient. As a result, meta-heuristic algorithms have been employed increasingly during recent years. In thi...
متن کاملFuzzy logic controlled differential evolution to solve economic load dispatch problems
In recent years, soft computing methods have generated a large research interest. The synthesis of the fuzzy logic and the evolutionary algorithms is one of these methods. A particular evolutionary algorithm (EA) is differential evolution (DE). As for any EA, DE algorithm also requires parameters tuning to achieve desirable performance. In this paper tuning the perturbation factor vector of DE ...
