An explicit formula for the number of nonattacking configurations of one-move riders on such a chessboard is calculated in two different ways, one utilizing the theory of symmetric functions and the other the theory of generating functions. With these newly found results, several conjectures and open problems are resolved, and various formulas found by Kotesovec are generalized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-27T02:11:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "one-move riders", "rectangular board", "q-queens problem", "open problems", "chessboard" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150106642I" } } }
