摘要
The m x n chessboard is an array with squares arranged in m rows and n columns. An (a; b)-knight's move or generalized knight's move is a move from one square to another by moving a knight passing a squares vertically or a squares horizontally and then passing b squares at 90 degrees angle. A closed (a; b)knight's tour is an (a; b)-knight's move such that the knight lands on every square on the m x n chessboard once and returns to its starting square. In this paper, we show that (i) the (a + b) x n chessboard admits no closed (a; b)-knight's tours if n is an element of 2 [2b + 1; 4b 1] where 1 <= a < b or if n is an element of [4b + 1; 5b] where 1 <= a < b < 2a, and (ii) the (2a + 1) x n chessboard admits no closed (a; a + 1)-knight's tours if n = 4a+4 where a >= 1, or if n = 6a+6 where a > 3, or if n = 6a+8 where a > 3.
