In this paper we propose a new approach for developing a proof that P=NP. We propose to use a polynomial-time reduction of a NP-complete problem to Linear Programming. Earlier such attempts used polynomial-time transformation which is a…
We prove that the art gallery problem is equivalent under polynomial time reductions to deciding whether a system of polynomial equations over the real numbers has a solution. The art gallery problem is a classical problem in computational…
We prove the complete intersection theorem and complete nontrivial-intersection theorem for systems of set partitions
We prove that for every $d\geq 2$, deciding if a pure, $d$-dimensional, simplicial complex is shellable is NP-hard, hence NP-complete. This resolves a question raised, e.g., by Danaraj and Klee in 1978. Our reduction also yields that for…
This is the final article in a series of four articles. Richard Karp has proven that a deterministic polynomial time solution to K-SAT will result in a deterministic polynomial time solution to all NP-Complete problems. However, it is…
Many natural optimization problems derived from $\sf NP$ admit bilevel and multilevel extensions in which decisions are made sequentially by multiple players with conflicting objectives, as in interdiction, adversarial selection, and…
We study statistical properties of an NP-complete problem, the subset sum, using the methods and concepts of statistical mechanics. The problem is a generalization of the number partitioning problem, which is also an NP-complete problem and…
The purpose of this article is to examine and limit the conditions in which the P complexity class could be equivalent to the NP complexity class. Proof is provided by demonstrating that as the number of clauses in a NP-complete problem…
We show that the Jacobian conjecture of the two dimensional case is true.
We give an elementary proof of a somewhat curious result, namely, that deciding whether a convex function is self-concordant is in general an intractable problem.
In this paper, we prove that the numerical-semigroup-gap counting problem is #NP-complete as a main theorem. A numerical semigroup is an additive semigroup over the set of all nonnegative integers. A gap of a numerical semigroup is defined…
The problem of Syndrome Decoding was proven to be NP-complete in 1978 and, since then, quite a few cryptographic applications have had their security rely on the (provable) difficulty of solving some instances of it. However, in most cases,…
We provide infinitely many solutions of a Dirichlet problem on balls.
We prove the splitting of the Kummer exact sequence and related exact sequences in arithmetic geometry.
We show that the following problems are NP-complete. 1. Can the vertex set of a graph be partitioned into two sets such that each set induces a perfect graph? 2. Is the difference between the chromatic number and clique number at most $1$…
This article presents a general solution to the problem of computational complexity. First, it gives a historical introduction to the problem since the revival of the foundational problems of mathematics at the end of the 19th century.…
We prove $\textsf{NP-hardness}$ results for determining whether quivers are mutation equivalent to quivers with given properties. Specifically, determining whether a quiver is mutation-equivalent to a quiver with exactly $k$ arrows between…
We show that it is coNP-complete to decide whether a given proof structure of pomset logic is a correct proof net, using the graph-theoretic used in a previous paper of ours (arXiv:1901.10247).
This is a summary of the proof by G.E. Coxson that P-matrix recognition is co-NP-complete. The result follows by a reduction from the MAX CUT problem using results of S. Poljak and J. Rohn.
The Turing machine, as it was presented by Turing himself, models the calculations done by a person. This means that we can compute whatever any Turing machine can compute, and therefore we are Turing complete. The question addressed here…
