How to explain NP-hardness and NP-completeness to students.
It’s important for NP-hardness that the transformation only takes polynomial time. Other kinds of hardness might admit more or restrict to fewer resources. And so this is what makes Mario NP-hard, because boolean logic satisfiability is NP-hard. Any problem in NP can be solved by a boolean logic solver, and hence also by a mario-level-player.
The purpose of this note is to present a proof of strong NP-hardness of AC power flows feasibility testing on general graphs; this proof builds on a section in the PhD thesis. A challenge in the development of such a proof is the fact that the solution to an AC-OPF problem may have irrational coordinates; this necessitates an elaboration in our technique.
NP-COMPLETENESS IN THE GOSSIP MONOID PETER FENNER1, MARIANNE JOHNSON2 and MARK KAMBITES3 School of Mathematics, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL, England. Abstract. Gossip monoids form an algebraic model of networks with exclusive, tran-sient connections in which nodes, when they form a connection, exchange all known information.
COVID-19 Resources. Reliable information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) is available from the World Health Organization (current situation, international travel).Numerous and frequently-updated resource results are available from this WorldCat.org search.OCLC’s WebJunction has pulled together information and resources to assist library staff as they consider how to handle coronavirus.
Note that a problem satisfying condition 2 is said to be NP. Another type of reduction that is also often used to define NP-completeness is the logarithmic-space many-one reduction which is a many-one reduction that can be computed with only a logarithmic amount of space. Since every computation that can be done in logarithmic space can also be done in polynomial time it follows that if.
The book covers the basic theory of NP-completeness, provides an overview of alternative directions for further research, and contains and extensive list of NP-complete and NP-hard problems, with more than 300 main entries and several times as many results in total. (This book) is suitable as a supplement to courses in algorithm design, computational complexity, operations research, or.
