Changed my mind about midend_is_solved: I've now reprototyped it as

[sgt/puzzles] / unfinished / group.c

/*
 * group.c: a Latin-square puzzle, but played with groups' Cayley
 * tables. That is, you are given a Cayley table of a group with
 * most elements blank and a few clues, and you must fill it in
 * so as to preserve the group axioms.
 *
 * This is a perfectly playable and fully working puzzle, but I'm
 * leaving it for the moment in the 'unfinished' directory because
 * it's just too esoteric (not to mention _hard_) for me to be
 * comfortable presenting it to the general public as something they
 * might (implicitly) actually want to play.
 *
 * TODO:
 *
 *  - more solver techniques?
 *     * Inverses: once we know that gh = e, we can immediately
 * 	 deduce hg = e as well; then for any gx=y we can deduce
 * 	 hy=x, and for any xg=y we have yh=x.
 *     * Hard-mode associativity: we currently deduce based on
 * 	 definite numbers in the grid, but we could also winnow
 * 	 based on _possible_ numbers.
 *     * My overambitious original thoughts included wondering if we
 * 	 could infer that there must be elements of certain orders
 * 	 (e.g. a group of order divisible by 5 must contain an
 * 	 element of order 5), but I think in fact this is probably
 * 	 silly.

     * Associativity is given; closure is obvious from latin-
     * square-hood. We need to show that an identity exists and that
     * every element has an inverse.
     *
     * Identity: take any element a. There will be some element e
     * such that ea=a (in a latin square, every element occurs in
     * every row and column, so a must occur somewhere in the a
     * column, say on row e). For any other element b, there must
     * exist x such that ax=b (same argument from latin-square-hood
     * again), and then associativity gives us eb = e(ax) = (ea)x =
     * ax = b. Hence eb=b for all b, i.e. e is a left-identity. A
     * similar argument tells us that there must be some f which is
     * a right-identity, and then we show they are the same element
     * by observing that ef must simultaneously equal e and equal f.
     *
     * Inverses: given any a, by the latin-square argument again,
     * there must exist p and q such that pa=e and aq=e (i.e. left-
     * and right-inverses). We can show these are equal by
     * associativity: p = pe = p(aq) = (pa)q = eq = q. []
