graphscope.nx.generators.sudoku.sudoku_graph(n=3)[source]¶

Returns the n-Sudoku graph. The default value of n is 3.

The n-Sudoku graph is a graph with n^4 vertices, corresponding to the cells of an n^2 by n^2 grid. Two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they belong to the same row, column, or n-by-n box.

Parameters:: n (integer) – The order of the Sudoku graph, equal to the square root of the number of rows. The default is 3.
Returns:: The n-Sudoku graph Sud(n).
Return type:: NetworkX graph
