We demonstrate a polynomial approach to express the decision version of the directed Hamiltonian Cycle Problem (HCP), which is NP-Complete, as the Solvability of a Polynomial Equation with a constant number of variables, within a bounded…
The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and its quantified extensions, whether without (QCSP) or with disjunction (QCSP_or), correspond naturally to the model checking problem for three increasingly stronger fragments of positive…
Any satisfiability problem in conjunctive normal form can be solved in polynomial time by reducing it to a 3-sat formulation and transforming this to a Linear Complementarity problem (LCP) which is then solved as a linear program (LP). Any…
We present an approach to non-uniform complexity in which single-pass instruction sequences play a key part, and answer various questions that arise from this approach. We introduce several kinds of non-uniform complexity classes. One kind…
We present an approximation notion for NP-hard optimization problems represented by binary functions. We prove that (assuming P != NP) the new notion is strictly stronger than FPTAS, but strictly weaker than having a polynomial-time…
Quadratic eigenvalue problems (QEP) and more generally polynomial eigenvalue problems (PEP) are among the most common types of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. Both problems, especially the QEP, have extensive applications. A typical approach…
We investigate a technique to transform a linear two-parameter eigenvalue problem, into a nonlinear eigenvalue problem (NEP). The transformation stems from an elimination of one of the equations in the two-parameter eigenvalue problem, by…
Czerwinski's paper "Separation of ${\rm PSPACE}$ and ${\rm EXP}$" [Cze21] claims to prove that ${\rm PSPACE} \neq {\rm EXP}$ by showing there is no length-increasing polynomial-time reduction from a given ${\rm EXP}$-complete set to a given…
Graph packing and partitioning problems have been studied in many contexts, including from the algorithmic complexity perspective. Consider the packing problem of determining whether a graph contains a spanning tree and a cycle that do not…
In an era where learning is considered a problem, we decided to go for problems for the sake of learning! The purpose of this study was to throw light on the issues involved in two forms of PBL viz., Case Study Based PBL and Research Based…
Ever since entanglement was identified as a computational and cryptographic resource, researchers have sought efficient ways to tell whether a given density matrix represents an unentangled, or separable, state. This paper gives the first…
On example of tasks of class NP the questions concerning accuracy of work of already existing and possible in the future algorithms for the solution of tasks on discrete structures are considered.
In this paper, we explore the 'equivalence principle' (EP): roughly, statements about mathematical objects should be invariant under an appropriate notion of equivalence for the kinds of objects under consideration. In set theoretic…
When a problem has more than one solution, it is often important, depending on the underlying context, to enumerate (i.e., to list) them all. Even when the enumeration can be done in polynomial delay, that is, spending no more than…
This paper presents a novel and straight formulation, and gives a complete insight towards the understanding of the complexity of the problems of the so called NP-Class. In particular, this paper focuses in the Searching of the Optimal…
This paper talks about difference between P and NP by using topological space that mean resolution principle. I pay attention to restrictions of antecedent and consequent in resolution, and show what kind of influence the restrictions have…
We treat the following "polynomial moment problem": for a complex polynomial P(z) and distinct complex numbers a,b such that P(a)=P(b) to describe polynomials q(z)=Q'(z) orthogonal to all degrees of P(z) on the segment [a,b]. We show that…

Despite remarkable achievements in its practical tractability, the notorious class of NP-complete problems has been escaping all attempts to find a worst-case polynomial time-bound solution algorithms for any of them. The vast majority of…
The resolution of the P vs. NP problem, a cornerstone in computational theory, remains elusive despite extensive exploration through mathematical logic and algorithmic theory. This paper takes a novel approach by integrating information…
