This research project has the following three main results. (1) We have designed algorithms for enumerating Tsume-Shogi by the reverse method. As a result, we can prove the longest mating-moves for a given set of Shogi-pieces. (2) We have designed algorithms for generating fundamental domains of p4-tiling (i.e., the tiling by 4-fold rotation) and p6-tiling (i.e., the tiling by 6-fold rotation) based on the reverse search. (3) We have designed algorithms for enumerating the unfoldings of polyhedra. By enumerating all unfoldings and checking their overlapping, we have solved an open problem for hundreds of years : Is every edge-unfolding of Platonic solids nonoverlapping? The answer is yes!
