Abstract

We discuss several mappings from well-known NP-hard problems to Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimisation problems which are treated incorrectly by Lucas. We provide counterexamples and correct the mappings. We also extend the body of QUBO formulations of NP-complete and NP-hard optimisation problems by discussing additional problems.
