"# Split the States\n",
"\n",
"The [538 Riddler for 11 June 2021](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/can-you-split-the-states/) poses this problem (paraphrased):\n",
"\n",
"> Given a map of the lower 48 states of the USA, remove a subset of the states so that the map is cut into two disjoint contiguous regions that are near-halves by area. Call the regions *A* and *B*, where *A* has the larger area. You can treat Michigans upper and lower peninsulas as two non-adjacent \"states,\" for a total of 49. \n",
">\n",
"> To be precise, 538's question is: \n",
">\n",
"> **1.** What states should you remove to maximize the area of *B*? What is *B*'s area and percent of the country's area?\n",
">\n",
"> There is some ambiguity in the phrase \"near-halves by area\" and [Philip Bump](https://twitter.com/pbump/status/1400185939629117442) is interested in a second question:\n",
">\n",
"> **2.** What states should you remove to minimize the difference of the area of *A* and the area of *B*? \n",
">\n",
"> Philip Bump hypothesized that {IL, MO, OK, NM} is the best subset to remove. Is he right?\n",
"\n",
"# Vocabulary terms \n",
"\n",
"Let's start by clarifying some concepts:\n",
"- **State**: denoted by the standard 2-letter abbreviations like `'CA'` (plus `'UP'` and `'LP'` for the Michigan peninsulas). \n",
"- **States**: a set of states; implemented as a (hashable) `frozenset`. I'll use `states('OR CA')` for `frozenset({'OR', 'CA'})`.\n",
"- **Region**: a set of states that are **contiguous**—they are all connected by a single tree of **neighbor** relations.\n",
"- **Neighbor**: a relation saying two states share a border. Implemented as [adjacency sets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list) in the dict `neighbors`.\n",
"- **Cut**: a set of states that, when removed from the map, cuts the map into disjoint regions. \n",
"- **Split**: a tuple `(A, B, C)`, where `A` and `B` are the two regions made by the cut `C`, with `A` larger than `B`.\n",
"- **Border**: the states on the edge of the map (neighbors of Canada, Mexico, Atlantic, or Pacific).\n",
"- **Area**: Each state has an area in square miles, given by the `areas` dict, and a region has a total area, given by the function `area`.\n",

"# Strategy for answering the two questions\n",
"\n",
"My overall strategy:\n",
"- Generate a large number of **cuts**. \n",
"- For each cut *C*, determine the **split** into regions *A* and *B*. Discard cuts that don't produce exactly two regions.\n",
"- Find the split that **maximizes** the area of *B*, and the split that **minimizes** the difference in area of *A* and *B*.\n",
"\n",
"# Making cuts\n",
"\n",
"Is it feasible to consider all possible cuts? A cut is a subset of the 49 states, so there are 2<sup>49</sup> or 500 trillion possible cuts, so **no**, we can't look at them all. I have four ideas to reduce the number of cuts considered:\n",
"- **Limit the total area in a cut.** A large area in the cut means there won't be much area left to make *B* big. \n",
"- **Limit the number of states in a cut.** Similarly, if there are too many states in a cut, there won't be many left for *A* or *B*.\n",
"- **Make cuts contiguous.** Noncontiguous cuts can't be optimal for question 1, so I won't consider them for now.\n",
"- **Make cuts go border-to-border.** A cut can produce exactly two regions only if (a) the cut runs from one place on the border to another place on the border or (b) the cut forms a \"donut\" that surrounds some interior region. The US map isn't big enough to support a decent-sized donut (there are only 14 non-border states, and only KS and NE are not neighbors of a border state). \n",
"\n",
"By default, the function `make_cuts` will yield all cuts that are contiguous regions up to twice the area and twice the number of states as the {IL, MO, NM, OK} cut, as long as they go from the north border of the US to the south border.\n",
"\n",
"It starts by building a set of regions where each region contains a single `start` state. Then in each iteration of the `while` loop, it yields each region from the current set of regions that intersects the `end` states, and creates a new set of regions formed by adding a neighboring state to a current region in all possible ways, as long as the area does not exceed `maxarea` and the size does not exceed `maxsize`. (On each iteration all the regions have the same size.)"

"# Making splits\n",
"\n",
"Now, given some cuts, the function `make_splits` creates **splits**: tuples `(A, B, C)`, where `A` and `B` are the two regions defined by the cut `C`, with `A` larger than `B`. A split requires that the cut divides the country into exactly two regions, but not all cuts do that. For example, the cut {WA, OR, CA} leaves only one region (consisting of all the other states). The cut {ID, OR, NV, AZ} leaves three regions: {WA}, {CA}, and {everything else}. To verify whether the cut makes two regions, `make_splits` first finds a maximal-size contiguous region `A` from the non-cut states, then finds a region `B` from the remaining states, then checks that `A` and `B` are non-empty and make up all the non-cut states.\n",
"\n",
"We find the extent of a region with the `floodfill` [algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill): it maintains a mutable `region` and a `frontier` of the states that neighbor the region but are not in the region. We iterate adding the frontier into the region and computing a new frontier until there is no new frontier. "

We found that the cut {CO, IL, MO, NE, NM} produces a region *B* with area 1,344,149, so that means that any cut that is better for question 1 must create a split where the areas of both *A* and *B* are greater than 1,344,149, Therefore, we can lower the `maxarea` for the cut to:"

"If you thought this notebook was going to be about a video game like StarCraft®, I'm sorry to disapoint you. Instead it is about [**Star Battle puzzles**](https://www.puzzle-star-battle.com/), a genre of Sudoku-like puzzles with these properties:\n",
"\n",
"- Like Sudoku, you start with an *N*×*N* board and fill in cells.\n",
"- Like Sudoku, an *N*×*N* board has 3*N* **units**: *N* columns, *N* rows, and *N* boxes.\n",
"- Like Sudoku, a well-formed puzzle has exactly one solution.\n",
"- Unlike Sudoku, the boxes have irregular shapes (not squares) and differing numbers of cells.\n",
"- Unlike Sudoku, there are only 2 possible values for each cell: star or blank (not 9 digits).\n",
"- Unlike Sudoku,\n",
"- The constraints are:\n",
" - Each unit (column, row, or box) must have exactly *S* stars.\n",
" - Two stars cannot be adjacent (not even diagonally).\n",

"- A **cell** is an integer in `range(N * N)`.\n",

"- A **unit** is a set of cells.\n",
"- A **board** is a named tuple with the attributes:\n",
" - `N`: the number of cells on each side of the *N*×*N* board.\n",
" - `S`: the number of stars per unit in a solution.\n",
" - `units`: a list of all the units on the board.\n",
" - `units_for`: a dict where `units_for[c]` is a list of the units that cell `c` is in.\n",
" - `pic`: a string; a graphical picture of the differently-shaped boxes.\n",
"- An intermediate **state** in a search for a solution is a named tuple with the attributes:\n",
" - `units`: list of units that have not yet been filled with *S* stars each.\n",
" - `stars`: set of cells that have been determined (or guessed) to contain a star.\n",
" - `unknowns`: set of cells that might contain either a star or a blank.\n",
"- A **solution** is a set of cells where the stars go.\n",

"# Solving Strategy\n",
"\n",
"I will solve puzzles using **depth-first search** with **constraint propagation**. \n",
"\n",
"By \"depth-first search\" I mean a procedure that starts from a current state, then creates a new state with a guess that a star should go into some cell *c*, and then tries to solve the rest of the puzzle from the new state. If there is no solution, back up to the old state and guess a different cell for the star. \n",
"\n",
"By \"constraint propagation\" I mean that whenever a star is placed, check what implications this has for the rest of the board: what blanks and/or stars *must* be placed in what cells. Constraint propagation may be able to prove that the original guess leads to failure, and it may make future guesses easier. \n",
"\n",
"Note that search always creates a new state for each guess (leaving the old state unaltered so that we can back up to it) and constraint propagation always mutates the state (because the changes are inevitable consequences, not guesses). \n",
"\n",
"# Constraint Propagation\n",
"\n",
"The constraint propagation rules are:\n",
" \n",
"When we **put a star** in a cell:\n",
" - Mutate the current state by adding the cell to the set of stars and removing it from the unknowns.\n",
" - If any of the cell's units has more than *S* stars, then fail (return `None`).\n",
" - Put a blank in each adjacent cell. If you can't, fail.\n",

With larger units you would be more likely to guess wrong and waste time backing up, so better to do small units first and large units later, when constraint propagation has eliminated some unknown cells."

//////////////////////////////// Solve Sudoku Puzzles ////////////////////////////////
//////////////////////////////// @author Peter Norvig ////////////////////////////////
/** There are two representations of puzzles that we will use:
** 1. A gridstring is 81 chars, with characters '0' or '.' for blank and '1' to '9' for digits.
** 2. A puzzle grid is an int[81] with a digit d (1-9) represented by the integer (1 << (d - 1));
** that is, a bit pattern that has a single 1 bit representing the digit.
** A blank is represented by the OR of all the digits 1-9, meaning that any digit is possible.
** While solving the puzzle, some of these digits are eliminated, leaving fewer possibilities.
** The puzzle is solved when every square has only a single possibility.
**
** Search for a solution with `search`:
** - Fill an empty square with a guessed digit and do constraint propagation.
** - If the guess is consistent, search deeper; if not, try a different guess for the square.
** - If all guesses fail, back up to the previous level.
** - In selecting an empty square, we pick one that has the minimum number of possible digits.
** - To be able to back up, we need to keep the grid from the previous recursive level.
** But we only need to keep one grid for each level, so to save garbage collection,
** we pre-allocate one grid per level (there are 81 levels) in a `gridpool`.
** Do constraint propagation with `arcConsistent`, `dualConsistent`, and `nakedPairs`.
