For the incomplete methods, we kept the representation of the queens by a table and the method of calculation to determine if two queens are in conflict, which is much faster for this kind of problems than the representation by a matrix. heuristics: descent. Tests: 100 queens in less than 1 second and 67 iterations. 500 queens in 1 second and 257 iterations. 1000 queens in 11 seconds and 492 iterations. heuristics: Simulated annealing. Tests: 100 queens in less than 1 second and 47 iterations. 500 queens in 5 seconds and 243 iterations. 1000 queens in 13 seconds and 497 iterations. heuristics: based on Simulated Annealing. Tests: 100 queens in less than 1 second and 60 iterations. 500 queens in 1 second and 224 iterations. 1000 queens in 5 seconds and 459 iterations. 10 000 queens in 20 minutes 30 seconds and 4885 iterations.
