How many mutually non-attacking queens can be placed on a d-dimensional chessboard of size n? We provide a comprehensive overview on theoretical results, bounds, solution methods and the interconnectivity of the problem within topics of discrete optimization and combinatorics.
We present an integer programming formulation and several strengthenings, achieving a speedup in runtime between 15-70x over all instances.
