Abstract

NP{ NP}-complete problem "Hamiltonian cycle"\ for graph G=(V,E)G=(V,E) is extended to the "Hamiltonian Complement of the Graph"\ problem of finding the minimal cardinality set HH containing additional edges so that graph G=(V,EH)G=(V,E\cup H) is Hamiltonian. The solving of "Hamiltonian Complement of a Graph"\ problem is reduced to the linear programming problem {\bf P}, which has an optimal integer solution. The optimal integer solution of {\bf P} is found for any its optimal solution by solving the linear assignment problem {\bf L}. The existence of polynomial algorithms for problems {\bf P} and {\bf L} proves the polynomial solvability of NP{ NP}-complete problems.
