Its not as easy as people say, especially with small hands. Nphardness a language l is called nphard iff for every l. Your job is to write a program that determines a route from the depot via all locations. A turing machine is, in e ect, a tape recorder with a simple controller and a potentially extendable tape. We show that some basic linear control design problems are nphard, implying that. Suppose that we wanted to write those numbers in unary. Nphard and npcomplete problems 7 if this decision problem cannot be solved by an algorithm of complexity pn for some polynomial p, then it cannot be solved by an algorithm of complexity pjvj 01 knapsack input size qqn for knapsack decision problem is q x. We prove the np hardness using a reduction of the np complete problem from cs 570 at university of southern california. A simple example of an nphard problem is the subset sum problem. The maximum clique size problem, or simply maxclique, is to compute, given a graph, the number of nodes in its largest complete subgraph. Throughout this paper, when writing stable we actually mean asymp. Nphardness nondeterministic polynomialtime hardness is, in computational complexity theory, the defining property of a class of problems that are informally at least as hard as the hardest problems in np. A language in l is called npcomplete iff l is nphard and l.
Mcsp is not known to be nphard, yet an efficient algorithm for this problem also seems very unlikely. We prove the np hardness using a reduction of the np. Professor luca trevisan, cochair professor prasad raghavendra, cochair. Nphard problems there is an easy proof that maxclique is nphard, using a reduction from maxindset. For the optimal effect, solve each question on your own. Our np hardness reductions are quasilinearsize and thus show nearly full exponential time is required, assuming the eth. These are some of the hardest problems in cs identifying a problem as np hard means.
Nphardness problems for target controllability of complex. Unweighted coalitional manipulation under the borda rule is nphard. The usual nphardness proof uses turing machines, a simple theoretical computer designed in 1936. You probably shouldnt waste time trying to find a polynomial time solution if you find a polynomial time solution, either you have a bug. For example, in the turing machine, there is no imme diate access to a memory cell at a given location. Department of computer science, carnegie mellon university. Nphardness of computing circuit complexity drops schloss. In computational complexity theory, a problem is npcomplete when it can be solved by a.
Our results signi cantly extend gv05, which only show nphardness for d 1. Nphardness many problems in ai are nphard or worse what does this mean. Nphardness of some linear control design problems mit. Its my progress after one month of practicing this piece, so it isnt perfect yet. Nphardness of some euclidean problems of partitioning a finite set of points article pdf available in computational mathematics and mathematical physics 585 may 2018 with 72 reads. On the nphardness of solving bilinear matrix inequalities and simultaneous stabilization with static output feedback.
