Explanation of Solution

Formulation for a planar map:

  • The goal state has the numbers in a certain order, which is measured as starting at the upper left corner, then proceeding left to right, and when we reach the end of a row, going down to the leftmost square in the row below.
  • For any other configuration besides the goal, whenever a tile with a greater number on it precedes a tile with smaller number, the two tiles are said to be inverted.

Proposition:

  • For a given puzzle configuration, let “N” denote the sum of the total number of inversions and the row number of the empty square.
  • “Nmod2” is invariant under any legal move.
  • After a legal move an odd “N” remains odd whereas an even “N” remains even.
  • The goal state with no inversions and empty square in the first row, has “N=1”, and can only be reached from starting states with even “N”...

Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science. You need to change this grouping so all components in it are equivalent (I. e. it contains a few events of a similar component).    To accomplish this, you pick some integer x that happens to some extent once in a, and afterward play out the accompanying activity quite a few times (perhaps zero): pick some portion [l,r] of the arrangement and eliminate it. Yet, there is one special case: you are not permitted to pick a fragment that contains x. All the more officially, you pick some adjoining aftereffect [al,al+1,… ,ar] to such an extent that ai≠x if l≤i≤r, and eliminate it. After expulsion, the numbering of components to one side of the eliminated portion changes: the component that was the (r+1)- th is presently l-th, the component that was (r+2)- th is currently (l+1)- th, etc (I. e. the leftover arrangement simply falls).    Note that you can not change x after you picked it.    For instance, assume n=6,…
In chess, a walk for a particular piece is a sequence of legal moves for that piece, starting from a square of your choice, that visits every square of the board. A tour is a walk that visits every square only once. (See Figure 5.13.) 5.13 Prove by induction that there exists a knight’s walk of an n-by-n chessboard for any n ≥ 4. (It turns out that knight’s tours exist for all even n ≥ 6, but you don’t need to prove this fact.)
