The computational challenge of enumerating high-dimensional rook walks

Research output: Working paper and reportsPreprint

Abstract

We provide guessed recurrence equations for the counting sequences of rook paths on d-dimensional chess boards starting at (0..0) and ending at (n..n), where d=2,3,...,12. Our recurrences suggest refined asymptotic formulas of these sequences. Rigorous proofs of the guessed recurrences as well as the suggested asymptotic forms are posed as challenges to the reader.
