Powerful Sudoku Solver 1.0

SUDOKU_LVL2 - A Sudoku Solver. Usage : Sol=sudoku_lvl2(A)Where A is a incomplete sudoku grid (9 x 9) represented as a 9 x 9 matrix of integers (0-9) with the empty cells being filled with zeros.The algorithm presented here uses the following techniques.(*) Filling a cell by candidate elimination(*) Filling a cell by position exclusion for a given candidate(*) Refining choices of candidates in a given cell by eliminating membersof locked pairs, locked triplets and so on..(*) Filling the remaining cells by brute force method. First 3 algorithms are of my own logic. The brute force algorithm is a big improvement over '8466'.Note : Please note that the aim of this algorithm is to have the most comprehensive logic while trying to have a decent speed. Speed, though, is not the primary criterion.
