Resources for the Amida-kuji Problem
The motivation for this project came from
Stanton, Bob (2000, September), Amida-kuji, Games Magazine, 41.
An
interactive version of Amida-kuji can be found at Shuttle
Puzzle.
Amida-kuji is closely
related to sorting networks, which are a common topic in computer
science literature. Here are some references:
Harell,
D. (1992) Algorithmics,
Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley.
Knuth, D. (1973), The
Art of Computer Programming, Vol. 3/Sorting and Searching,
Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley.
Sorting networks are introduced on the Computer
Science Unplugged
web site in the "Beat the Clock:
Sorting Networks"
project.
