Entropy as Computational Complexity
If the given problem instance is partially solved, we want to minimize our effort to solve the problem using that information. In this paper we introduce the measure of entropy, H(S), for uncertainty in partially solved input data S(X) = (X1, ..., Xk), where X is the entire data set, and each Xi is already solved. We propose a generic algorithm that merges Xi’s repeatedly, and finishes when k b...
متن کاملCalculation of the minimum computational complexity based on information entropy
In order to find out the limiting speed of solving a specific problem using computer, this essay provides a method based on information entropy. The relationship between the minimum computational complexity and information entropy change is illustrated. A few examples are served as evidence of such connection. Meanwhile some basic rules of modeling problems are established. Finally, the nature ...
متن کاملComputational complexity with experiments as oracles
We discuss combining physical experiments with machine computations and introduce a form of analogue-digital Turing machine. We examine in detail a case study where an experimental procedure based on Newtonian kinematics is combined with a class of Turing machines. Three forms of analogue-digital machine are studied, in which physical parameters can be set exactly and approximately. Using non-u...
متن کاملOn the Computational Complexity of the Domination Game
The domination game is played on an arbitrary graph $G$ by two players, Dominator and Staller. It is known that verifying whether the game domination number of a graph is bounded by a given integer $k$ is PSPACE-complete. On the other hand, it is showed in this paper that the problem can be solved for a graph $G$ in $mathcal O(Delta(G)cdot |V(G)|^k)$ time. In the special case when $k=3$ and the...
متن کاملInformation Entropy As a Basic Building Block of Complexity Theory
What is information? What role does information entropy play in this information exploding age, especially in understanding emergent behaviors of complex systems? To answer these questions, we discuss the origin of information entropy, the difference between information entropy and thermodynamic entropy, the role of information entropy in complexity theories, including chaos theory and fractal ...
