After examining the {\bf P} versus {\bf NP} problem against the Kleene-Rosser paradox of the $\lambda$-calculus [94], it was found that it represents a counter-example to NP-completeness. We prove that it contradicts the proof of Cook's…

Given a CNF formula $F$, we present a new algorithm for deciding the satisfiability (SAT) of $F$ and computing all solutions of assignments. The algorithm is based on the concept of \emph{cofactors} known in the literature. This paper is a…

In all well-studied $\mathsf{TFNP}$ subclasses (e.g. $\mathsf{PPA}, \mathsf{PPP}$ etc.), the canonical complete problem takes as input a polynomial-size circuit $C: \{ 0, 1\}^n \rightarrow \{ 0, 1\}^m$ whose input-output behavior implicitly…

An important objective of research in counting complexity is to understand which counting problems are approximable. In this quest, the complexity class TotP, a hard subclass of #P, is of key importance, as it contains self-reducible…

We show that any submodular minimization (SM) problem defined on a linear constraint set with constraints having up to two variables per inequality, are 2-approximable in polynomial time. If the constraints are monotone (the two variables…

We study $q$-SAT in the multistage model, focusing on the linear-time solvable 2-SAT. Herein, given a sequence of $q$-CNF fomulas and a non-negative integer $d$, the question is whether there is a sequence of satisfying truth assignments…

A polynomial that is nonnegative need not be a sum of squares of polynomials. This classical gap, identified by Hilbert in 1888, lies at the heart of why the global optimization of multivariate quartic polynomials is NP-hard. Yet we show…
