Stanford Lecture: Don Knuth—"Dancing Links" (2018)

Donald Knuth's 24th Annual Christmas Lecture: Dancing Links
Donald Knuth, Professor Emeritus
2018

A simple data-structuring idea called “dancing links” has proved to be surprisingly effective. It has also led to a new class of combinatorial problems, “exact covering with color controls” (or XCC for short), which appears to be quite important. The speaker will explain the basic algorithms and will illustrate them with solutions to dozens of XCC problems that have arisen in a wide variety of applications.
