fiveleap.gms : The Five Leaper Tour Problem


Just as the knight makes moves of length root-5 that have coordinates {1,2}, a
fiveleaper is a type of generalized knight that makes moves of length 5 units,
with coordinates either {0,5} or {3,4}. In either event the Euclidean distance
traveled is five squares.

A tour requires that the fiveleaper visits every square on a board once and once
only using legal moves. The start and finish squares must be separated by a
legal move and the fiveleaper could close the tour by making this final move.

Run with parameters NROW, NCOL (size of chess board, default 8x8), and MAXCUT
(maximum number of subtour elimination cuts, default 500). For example,

gams fiveleap --NROW=10 --NCOL=10 --MAXCUT=1000
