Magic Squares and Sudoku
TL;DR: A family of magic squares is introduced, called linear magic squares, and it is shown that any parallel linear sudoku solution of sufficiently large order can be relabeled so that all of its subsquares are linear magic.

Nest graphs and minimal complete symmetry groups for magic Sudoku variants
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an analogous symmetry group to partition the set of Shidoku boards into so-called "nests" and then used the interplay between the physical and relabeling symmetries to find certain subgroups that were both complete and minimal.
Primes and Probability: The Hawkins Random Sieve
John Lorch,Giray Ökten +1 more
TL;DR: The Hawkins model as discussed by the authors is a probabilistic model for the distribution of the prime numbers, which is based on a simple variation of the sieve of Eratosthenes.

Orthogonal combings of linear sudoku solutions.

- 01 Jan 2010
TL;DR: It is shown that the transversal method produces an orthogonal mate for every linear sudoku solution of parallel type, and the method is characterized to characterize the linear suDoku solutions of non-parallel type for which the method works.
