As it follows from G\"odel's incompleteness theorems, any consistent formal system of axioms and rules of inference should imply a true unprovable statement. Actually, this fundamental principle can be efficiently applicable in…
We show that the problem of deciding whether the vertex set of a graph can be covered with at most two bicliques is in NP$\cap$coNP. We thus almost determine the computational complexity of a problem whose status has remained open for quite…
We present a simple and versatile formulation of grid-based graph representation problems as an integer linear program (ILP) and a corresponding SAT instance. In a grid-based representation vertices and edges correspond to axis-parallel…
In this paper we propose the PCP-like theorem for sub-linear time inapproximability. Abboud et al. have devised the distributed PCP framework for proving sub-quadratic time inapproximability. Here we try to go further in this direction.…
We introduce a new -as far as we know- problem, according to which we are asked to match sequences of two digits in matrices having entries among those two digits (but others too) and prove that this problem is NP-complete
We give explicit formulas as well as a quadratic time algorithm to solve (so called) generalized Vandermonde's systems of p linear equations and n variables. It allows in particular to find all (so called Lagrange's) interpolation polynoms…
This is a commentary on, and critique of, Latif Salum's paper titled "Tractability of One-in-three $\mathrm{3SAT}$: $\mathrm{P} = \mathrm{NP}$." Salum purports to give a polynomial-time algorithm that solves the $\mathrm{NP}$-complete…
In this paper, we investigate the computational complexity of the knapsack problem and subset sum problem for the following tropical algebraic structures. We consider the semigroup of square matrices of size $k \times k$ with non-negative…
The interval subset sum problem (ISSP) is a generalization of the well-known subset sum problem. Given a set of intervals $\left\{[a_{i,1},a_{i,2}]\right\}_{i=1}^n$ and a target integer $T,$ the ISSP is to find a set of integers, at most…
This paper solves a long standing open problem of whether NP-complete problems could be solved in polynomial time on a deterministic Turing machine by showing that the indistinguishable binomial decision tree can be formed in a 3-SAT…
We propose an algorithm for solving of the graph isomorphism problem. Also, we introduce the new class of graphs for which the graph isomorphism problem can be solved polynomially using the algorithm.
A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees, a regular graph is a graph where each vertex has the same degree and a locally regular graph is a graph where for every two adjacent vertices u, v, their…
We give a simple polynomial time approximation scheme for the weighted matroid matching problem on strongly base orderable matroids. We also show that even the unweighted version of this problem is NP-complete and not in oracle-coNP.
We consider several subgroup-related algorithmic questions in groups, modeled after the classic computational lattice problems, and study their computational complexity. We find polynomial time solutions to problems like finding a subgroup…
Some classical graph problems such as finding minimal spanning tree, shortest path or maximal flow can be done efficiently. We describe slight variations of such problems which are shown to be NP-complete. Our proofs use straightforward…
The Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) problem stands out as an attractive NP-complete problem in theoretic computer science and plays a central role in a broad spectrum of computing-related applications. Exploiting and tuning SAT solvers under…
We introduce the problem Synchronized Planarity. Roughly speaking, its input is a loop-free multi-graph together with synchronization constraints that, e.g., match pairs of vertices of equal degree by providing a bijection between their…
Weighted independent domination is an NP-hard graph problem, which remains computationally intractable in many restricted graph classes. In particular, the problem is NP-hard in the classes of sat-graphs and chordal graphs. We strengthen…
In this paper, we study the \textsf{Planar Disjoint Paths} problem: Given an undirected planar graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a set $T$ of $k$ pairs $(s_i,t_i)_{i=1}^k$ of vertices, the goal is to find a set $\mathcal P$ of $k$ pairwise…
Given a 3-SAT formula, a graph can be constructed in polynomial time such that the graph is a point visibility graph if and only if the 3-SAT formula is satisfiable. This reduction establishes that the problem of recognition of point…
