Computational Complexity of Yajisan-Kazusan and Stained Glass

Yajisan-Kazusan and Stained Glass are Nikoli’s pencil puzzles. We study the computational complexity of Yajisan-Kazusan and Stained Glass puzzles. It is shown that deciding whether a given instance of each puzzle has a solution is NP-complete.

Abstract

Yajisan-Kazusan and Stained Glass are Nikoli’s pencil puzzles. We study the computational complexity of Yajisan-Kazusan and Stained Glass puzzles. It is shown that deciding whether a given instance of each puzzle has a solution is NP-complete.
