We study the quadratic residue problem known as an NP complete problem by way of the prime number and show that a nondeterministic polynomial process does not belong to the class P because of a random distribution of solutions for the…
We report an analytic and numerical study of a phase transition in a P problem (the assignment problem) that separates two phases whose representatives are the simple matching problem (an easy P problem) and the traveling salesman problem…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be finite point sets of the same cardinality in $\mathbb{R}^2$, each labelled from $1$ to $n$. Two noncrossing geometric graphs $G_P$ and $G_Q$ spanning $P$ and $Q$, respectively, are called compatible if for every face $f$…
As we go along with a bioinformatic analysis we stumbled over a new combinatorial question. Although the problem is a very special one, there are maybe more applications than only this one we have. This text is mainly about the general…
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 examine possibility to design an efficient solving algorithm for problems of the class \np. It is introduced a classification of \np problems by the property that a partial solution of size $k$ can be extended into a partial solution of…
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…
This paper describes several new problems and ideas concerning algebraic geometry and complexity theory. It first uses the idea of coloring graphs with elements of finite fields. This procedure then shows that graph coloring problems can be…
The paper proposes a logical model of combinatorial problems, also it gives an example of a problem of the class NP that can not be solved in polynomial time on the dimension of the problem.
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…
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…
We show that two important problems that have applications in computational biology are ASP-complete, which implies that, given a solution to a problem, it is NP-complete to decide if another solution exists. We show first that a variation…
Many natural combinatorial problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems. This class of problems is known to be NP-complete in general, but certain restrictions on the form of the constraints can ensure tractability. The…
Given an undirected graph representing similarities between a set of items and an additive measure evaluating the items, we treat the position of a special subset of items in an ordinal ranking through a collection of combinatorial…
We show NP-completeness for several planar variants of the monotone satisfiability problem with bounded variable appearances. With one exception the presented variants have an associated bipartite graph where the vertex degree is bounded by…
We present a definition of the class NP in combinatorial context as the set of languages of structures defined by finitely many forbidden lifted substructures. We apply this to special syntactically defined subclasses and show how they…
The complexity class NP of decision problems that can be solved nondeterministically in polynomial time is of great theoretical and practical importance where the notion of polynomial-time reductions between NP-problems is a key concept for…
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…
Partial label learning deals with the problem where each training instance is assigned a set of candidate labels, only one of which is correct. This paper provides the first attempt to leverage the idea of self-training for dealing with…
We consider the MAP-inference problem for graphical models, which is a valued constraint satisfaction problem defined on real numbers with a natural summation operation. We propose a family of relaxations (different from the famous…
