Modeling the 8-queens problem and Sudoku using an algorithm based on projections onto nonconvex sets

We begin with some basic definitions and concepts from convex analysis and projection onto convex sets (POCS). We next introduce various algorithms for converging to the intersection of convex sets and review various results (Elser’s Difference Map is equivalent to the Douglas-Rachford and Fienup’s...
