We can move only one disk simultaneously and have to take the disk at the top of the rod. We have to transfer this from rod one to rod three using the second rod.
One rod contains several disks in decreasing order, with the largest disk at the bottom and the smallest at the top. The problem is simple, involving three rods. Using an explicit data structure such as an adjacencylist or an adjacency-matrix, the decomposition of a di.The Tower of Hanoi problem is a fundamental mathematical puzzle that is introduced to new programmers at the start for them to amplify their problem-solving quiz. The solution to the original problem can be constructed by combining the solutions to the subproblems, sometimes with the aid of the component graph (i.e., the structure of connections among SCCs). Generally speaking, SCC decomposition often divides a digraph problem into subproblems, one for each SCC. Introduction Decomposing a directed graph (digraphs) into its (maximal) strongly connected components (SCCs) is a fundamental graph problem and has many important applications in CAD. Experiments suggest that the algorithm dramatically outperforms the only existing implicit method which must compute the transitive closure of the adjacency-matrix of the graphs. The algorithm iteratively applies reachability analysis and sequentially identifies SCCs.
This paper presents a BDD-based implicit algorithm to compute all maximal strongly connected components of directed graphs. The paper describes a recursive algorithm for this problem formulation which accords with the architectural principles of the primitive algorithm, and therefore draws conclusions into the generation of recursive problem-solving strategies for more general problems. In this form, the problem is likened to that of allocating resources within a strict set of rules thereby providing analogies to multi-processor system design and the routing of information through a communication system. To illustrate, the well-known Towers of Hanoi problem has been chosen, the added complications in this case being posed by a multiplicity of poles. Increasing complexity is then introduced into the primitive in successive stages and more complex algorithms derived, all of which are designed to exhibit the essential elegance of the primitive algorithm. The methodology is to take a basic problem, the primitive, for which an algorithmic solution exists and whose architecture is particularly clear. The work described is a continuation of a line of research into coping with complexity. First, given the number of disks, N, and a move number, K, what is the K'th move? Second, given two arbitrary legal configurations of disks, how many moves are Both concern minimal move sequences, that is, sequences which convert one configuration to another in the fewest possible moves. To illustrate this conjecture, we will look at two variations of the puzzle. We conjecture that any question regarding the three tower Towers of Hanoi puzzle can be answered in time T ~ 0 (maz (I ,O )), where I is the input size, O is the output size. The problem can be solved in O (2 N), which is linear in the size of the output. Given that it takes log(N} bits to specify the number of disks, the problem is doubly exponential in terms of input size, taking O (22t) moves to solve, where I is the number of input bits.
For N disks, 2 N-1 moves are required to transfer the disks from the initial tower to the final tower.

The solution can be used to generate the Gray code and via this has been mapped onto other puzzles, notably the Chinese rings puzzle. It is found in the literature of psychology and artificial intelligence in studies of problem solving. The puzzle has been used to illustrate recursive programming, divide and conquer problem solving, and analysis. The disks are transferred to another of the three towers by moving one disc at a time, with the restriction that no disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
