MAS334 Combinatorics

9. Tabular methods

There is a tabular method for finding all the full matchings for a given n×n board.

Example 9.1.

The picture on the left below is the board from Problem 7.16, and the table on the right finds all the 13 solutions.

We will not explain the method in detail here, as it is much easier to understand by working through the interactive demonstration.
