# Sudoku example.
#
# The Sudoku board is a 9x9 grid, which is further divided into a 3x3 grid
# of 3x3 grids.  Each cell in the grid must take a value from 0 to 9.
# No two grid cells in the same row, column, or 3x3 subgrid may take the
# same value.
#
# In the MIP formulation, binary variables x[i,j,v] indicate whether
# cell <i,j> takes value 'v'.  The constraints are as follows:
#   1. Each cell must take exactly one value (sum_v x[i,j,v] = 1)
#   2. Each value is used exactly once per row (sum_i x[i,j,v] = 1)
#   3. Each value is used exactly once per column (sum_j x[i,j,v] = 1)
#   4. Each value is used exactly once per 3x3 subgrid (sum_grid x[i,j,v] = 1)
#
# Input datasets for this example can be found in examples/data/sudoku*.
