Analysis of the postulates produced by Karp's Theorem

Computational Complexity 2008-09-03 v5

Abstract

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 demonstrated that a deterministic polynomial time solution to any NP-Complete problem does not necessarily produce a deterministic polynomial time solution to all NP-Complete problems.
