/* This program outputs the definition of a matrix whose determinant is * the number of domino tilings of the input region (up to a factor of * some power of i). The matrix should be fed to Mathematica. This * input format allows for computing the number of matchings of any * bipartite planar graph. * * The region should be given as a pattern of V's, A's, <'s, >'s, and X's. * All characters after a percent are ignored. Currently, the input must * fit in a rectangle with 500 rows and 200 columns. * * You can compile the program with the Unix command * * cc vaxmathematica.c -o vaxmathematica * * There is supposedly a way to run Mathematica in command-line mode; * if so, Unix users might be able to pipe the output of vaxmathematica * to a Mathematica kernel. Otherwise, you'll have to settle for a * two-stage process: use vaxmathematica to create Mathematica code * and then copy and paste that code into a Mathematica window. * * Greg Kuperberg, Jim Propp, and David Wilson */ #include #define WIDTH 202 #define LENGTH 502 #define FREE -1 char pict[LENGTH][WIDTH]; int p[LENGTH][WIDTH]; char gap[LENGTH][WIDTH]; int main() { int i,j,k; int rows,columns; for (i=0; i
