Abstract

We describe a way to transfer efficiently Sudoku grids through the Internet. This is done by using linearization together with compression and decompression that use the information structure present in all sudoku grids. The compression and the corresponding decompression are based on the fact that in each Sudoku grid there are information dependencies and so some of the information is redundant.
