相关论文: A Critique of Uribe's "P vs. NP"
It is shown that graph-theoretic problem CLIQUE can't be solved in polynomial time by any deterministic TM. This upgrades the well-known partial result that claims only monotone unsolvability thereof, and eventually implies P $\neq$ NP as…
We review and critique Boyu Sima's paper, "A solution of the P versus NP problem based on specific property of clique function," (arXiv:1911.00722) which claims to prove that ${\rm P}\neq{\rm NP}$ by way of removing the gap between the…
We prove an exponential lower bound for general circuits computing the clique function and hereby confirm that NP != P.
Although whether P equals NP is an important, open problem in computer science, and although Jaeger's 2008 paper, "Solving the P/NP Problem Under Intrinsic Uncertainty" (arXiv:0811.0463) presents an attempt at tackling the problem by…
In this work, we critique two papers, "A Polynomial-Time Solution to the Clique Problem" by Tamta, Pande, and Dhami, and "A Polynomial-Time Algorithm For Solving Clique Problems" by LaPlante. We summarize and analyze both papers, noting…
The method for analyzing algorithmic runtime complexity using decision trees is discussed using the sorting algorithm. This method is then extended to optimal algorithms which may find all cliques of size q in network N, or simply the first…
There have been many attempts to solve the P versus NP problem. However, with a new proof method, P not equal NP can be proved. A time limit is set for an arbitrary Turing machine and an input word is rejected on a timeout. The time limit…
The $\textbf{P}$ vs. $\textbf{NP}$ problem is an important problem in contemporary mathematics and theoretical computer science. Many proofs have been proposed to this problem. This paper proposes a theoretic proof for $\textbf{P}$ vs.…
This paper demonstrates the relativity of Computability and Nondeterministic; the nondeterministic is just Turing's undecidable Decision rather than the Nondeterministic Polynomial time. Based on analysis about TM, UM, DTM, NTM, Turing…
In the paper "On P versus NP," Lev Gordeev attempts to extend the method of approximation, which successfully proved exponential lower bounds for monotone circuits, to the case of De Morgan Normal (DMN) circuits. As in Razborov's proof of…
The papers~\cite{hatfimmokomi11} and~\cite{azizbrilharr13} propose algorithms for testing whether the choice function induced by a (strict) preference list of length $N$ over a universe $U$ is substitutable. The running time of these…
Circuit lower bounds are important since it is believed that a super-polynomial circuit lower bound for a problem in NP implies that P!=NP. Razborov has proved superpolynomial lower bounds for monotone circuits by using method of…
In a recent paper by S. Gubin [cs/0701023v1], a polynomial-time solution to the 3SAT problem was presented as proof that P=NP. The proposed algorithm cannot be made to work, which I shall demonstrate.
Attacks on the P-value are nothing new, but the recent attacks are increasingly more serious. They come from more mainstream sources, with widening targets such as a call to retire the significance testing altogether. While well meaning, I…
The P versus NP problem asks whether every language verifiable in polynomial time can also be decided in deterministic polynomial time. In this paper, we present a constructive proof that P = NP by introducing a universal, graph-based…
Opacity is a property of privacy and security applications asking whether, given a system model, a passive intruder that makes online observations of system's behaviour can ascertain some "secret" information of the system. Deciding opacity…
An experimental comparison of two or more optimization algorithms requires the same computational resources to be assigned to each algorithm. When a maximum runtime is set as the stopping criterion, all algorithms need to be executed in the…
The relationship between the complexity classes P and NP is an unsolved question in the field of theoretical computer science. In this paper, we look at the link between the P - NP question and the "Deterministic" versus "Non Deterministic"…
We first give an improved lower bound for the deterministic online simulation of tapes or pushdown stores by queues. Then we inspect some proofs in a classical work on queue machines in the area of Formal Languages and outline why a main…
This note is a commentary on, and critique of, Andre Luiz Barbosa's paper entitled "P != NP Proof." Despite its provocative title, what the paper is seeking to do is not to prove P \neq NP in the standard sense in which that notation is…
