The open question, P=NP?, was presented by Cook (1971). In this paper, a proof that P is not equal to NP is presented. In addition, it is shown that P is not equal to the intersection of NP and co-NP. Finally, the exact inclusion…
In this article, we discuss the question of whether P equals NP, we do not follow the line of research of many researchers, which is to try to find such a problem Q, and the problem Q belongs to the class of NP-complete, if the problem Q is…
This paper considers the question of P = NP in context of the polynomial time SAT algorithm. It posits proposition dependent on existence of conjectured problem that even where the algorithm is shown to solve SAT in polynomial time it…
SAT is not in P, is true and provable in a simply consistent extension B' of a first order theory B of computing, with a single finite axiom characterizing a universal Turing machine. Therefore, P is not equal to NP, is true and provable in…
The analysis discussed in this paper is based on a well-known NP-complete problem which is called satisfiability problem or SAT. From SAT a new NP-complete problem is derived, which is described by a Boolean function called core function.…
NP complete problem is one of the most challenging issues. The question of whether all problems in NP are also in P is generally considered one of the most important open questions in mathematics and theoretical computer science as it has…
The question of whether the complexity class P is equal to the complexity class NP has been a seemingly intractable problem for over 4 decades. It has been clear that if an algorithm existed that would solve the problems in the NP class in…
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…
In order to prove that the P of problems is different to the NP class, we consider the satisfability problem of propositional calculus formulae, which is an NP-complete problem. It is shown that, for every search algorithm A, there is a set…
In complexity theory, there exists a famous unsolved problem whether NP can be P or not. In this paper, we discuss this aspect in SAT (satisfiability) problem, and it is shown that the SAT can be solved in plynomial time by means of quantum…
The $P$ versus $NP$ problem is still unsolved. But there are several oracles with $P$ unequal $NP$ relative to them. Here we will prove, that $P\not=NP$ relative to a $P$-complete oracle. In this paper, we use padding arguments as the proof…
Pudl\'ak [Pud17] lists several major conjectures from the field of proof complexity and asks for oracles that separate corresponding relativized conjectures. Among these conjectures are: - $\mathsf{DisjNP}$: The class of all disjoint…
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…
As one step in a working program initiated by Pudl\'ak [Pud17] we construct an oracle relative to which $\mathrm{P}\ne\mathrm{NP}$ and all non-empty sets in $\mathrm{NP}\cup\mathrm{coNP}$ have $\mathrm{P}$-optimal proof systems.
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…
This paper demonstrates that P \not= NP. The way was to generalize the traditional definitions of the classes P and NP, to construct an artificial problem (a generalization to SAT: The XG-SAT, much more difficult than the former) and then…
As Cook-Levin theorem showed, every NP problem can be reduced to SAT in polynomial time. In this paper I show a simpler and more efficent method to reduce some factorization problems to the satisfability of a boolean formula.
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) holds a central place in computational complexity theory as the first shown NP-complete problem. Due to this role, SAT is often used as the benchmark for polynomial-time reductions: if a problem can…
We build on a working program initiated by Pudl\'ak [Pud17] and construct an oracle relative to which each $\mathrm{coNP}$-complete set has $\mathrm{P}$-optimal proof systems and $\mathrm{NP}\cap\mathrm{coNP}$ does not have complete…
Presentation of a Method for determining whether a problem 3Sat has solution, and if yes to find one, in time max O(n^15). Is thus proved that the problem 3Sat is fully resolved in polynomial time and therefore that it is in P, by the work…
