Counting Solutions for the N-queens and Latin Square Problems by Efficient Monte Carlo Simulations
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
We apply Monte Carlo simulations to count the numbers of solutions of two well-known combinatorial problems: the N-queens problem and Latin square problem. The original system is f…

Simulation via Direct Computation of Partition Functions
Cheng Zhang, Jianpeng Ma
In this paper, we demonstrate the efficiency of simulations via direct computation of the partition function under various macroscopic conditions, such as different temperatures or…
