Maximizing Output and Recognizing Autocatalysis in Chemical Reaction Networks is NP-Complete
Background: A classical problem in metabolic design is to maximize the production of a desired compound in a given chemical reaction network by appropriately directing the mass flow through the network. Computationally, this problem is addressed as a linear optimization problem over the flux cone. The prior construction of the flux cone is computationally expensive and no polynomial-time algori...
متن کاملMaximizing edge-ratio is NP-complete
Given a graph G and a bipartition of its vertices, the edge-ratio is the minimum for both classes so defined of their number of internal edges divided by their number of cut edges. We prove that maximizing edgeratio is NP-complete.
متن کاملRecognizing Union-Find trees is NP-complete
Disjoint-Set forests, consisting of Union-Find trees are data structures having a widespread practical application due to their efficiency. Despite them being well-known, no exact structural characterization of these trees is known (such a characterization exists for Union trees which are constructed without using path compression). In this paper we provide such a characterization and show that...
متن کاملRecognizing Shrinkable Complexes Is NP-Complete
We say that a simplicial complex is shrinkable if there exists a sequence of admissible edge contractions that reduces the complex to a single vertex. We prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether a (two-dimensional) simplicial complex is shrinkable. Along the way, we describe examples of contractible complexes that are not shrinkable.
متن کاملAutocatalysis in Reaction Networks
The persistence conjecture is a long-standing open problem in chemical reaction network theory. It concerns the behavior of solutions to coupled ODE systems that arise from applying mass-action kinetics to a network of chemical reactions. The idea is that if all reactions are reversible in a weak sense, then no species can go extinct. A notion that has been found useful in thinking about persis...
