Sudoku (CP and MIP models)

Description
Playing Sudoku: fill in the 9x9 grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1-9.
  • The models sudoku.mos and sudoku2_ka.mos solve a given Sudoku grid with Mixed Integer Programming and Constraint Programming respectively.
  • The model versions sudoku*_graph.mos add repeated display of the Sudoku board to show the progress of the solving.
