ASP-Completeness Proofs of Puzzles Using the T-Metacell Framework

Pencil puzzles are puzzles that can be solved by writing down solutions on a paper, using only logical reasoning. In this paper, we utilize the "T-metacell" framework developed by Tang and the MIT Hardness Group to prove the ASP-completeness of four new pencil puzzles: Grand Tour, Entry Exit, Yagit, and Zahlenschlange. The results demonstrate how versatile the framework is, offering new insights into the computational complexity of problems with various constraints.

Abstract

Pencil puzzles are puzzles that can be solved by writing down solutions on a paper, using only logical reasoning. In this paper, we utilize the "T-metacell" framework developed by Tang and the MIT Hardness Group to prove the ASP-completeness of four new pencil puzzles: Grand Tour, Entry Exit, Yagit, and Zahlenschlange. The results demonstrate how versatile the framework is, offering new insights into the computational complexity of problems with various constraints.
