چکیده
We solve the problem of one-dimensional peg solitaire. In particular, we show that the set of configurations that can be reduced to a single peg forms a regular language, and that a linear-time algorithm exists for playing the game.

Triangular Peg Solitaire Unlimited
Triangular peg solitaire is a well-known one-person game or puzzle. When one peg captures many pegs consecutively, this is called a sweep. We investigate whether the game can end in a dramatic fashion, with one peg sweeping all remaining pegs off the board. For triangular boards of side 6 and 8 (with 21 and 36 holes, respectively) the geometrically longest sweep can occur as the final move in a...
متن کاملDiagonal Peg Solitaire
We study the classical game of peg solitaire when diagonal jumps are allowed. We prove that on many boards, one can begin from a full board with one peg missing, and finish with one peg anywhere on the board. We then consider the problem of finding solutions that minimize the number of moves (where a move is one or more jumps by the same peg), and find the shortest solution to the “central game...
متن کاملSolving Triangular Peg Solitaire
We consider the one-person game of peg solitaire on a triangular board of arbitrary size. The basic game begins from a full board with one peg missing and finishes with one peg at a specified board location. We develop necessary and sufficient conditions for this game to be solvable. For all solvable problems, we give an explicit solution algorithm. On the 15-hole board, we compare three simple...
متن کاملOne-Dimensional Peg Solitaire, and Duotaire
We solve the problem of one-dimensional Peg Solitaire. In particular, we show that the set of configurations that can be reduced to a single peg forms a regular language, and that a linear-time algorithm exists for reducing any configuration to the minimum number of pegs. We then look at the impartial two-player game, proposed by Ravikumar, where two players take turns making peg moves, and whi...
متن کاملInteger Programming Based Algorithms for Peg Solitaire Problems
Peg solitaire is a one player game using pegs and a board with some holes. The game is classical, and nowadays sold in many parts of the world under the trade name of Hi-Q. In this paper, we dealt with the peg solitaire problem as an integer programming problem. We proposed algorithms based on the backtrack search method and relaxation methods for integer programming problem. The algorithms fir...
