چکیده
Linear diagrams have been shown to be an effective method of representing set-based data. Moreover, a number guidelines proven improve the efficacy linear diagrams. One these is minimise line segments appearing in diagram. We show this problem NP-hard.

Packing Segments in a Convex 3-Polytope is NP-hard
We show it is NP-hard to pack the maximum number of segments in a convex 3-dimensional polytope. We show this packing problem is also NP-hard for general polygonal regions in the plane. This problem relates two streams of research, Kakeya set problems and packing problems.
متن کاملThe Straight-Line RAC Drawing Problem Is NP-Hard
Recent cognitive experiments have shown that the negative impact of an edge crossing on the human understanding of a graph drawing, tends to be eliminated in the case where the crossing angles are greater than 70 degrees. This motivated the study of RAC drawings, in which every pair of crossing edges intersects at right angle. In this work, we demonstrate a class of graphs with unique RAC combi...
متن کاملTrainyard is NP-hard
Recently, due to the widespread diffusion of smart-phones, mobile puzzle games have experienced a huge increase in their popularity. A successful puzzle has to be both captivating and challenging, and it has been suggested that this features are somehow related to their computational complexity [5]. Indeed, many puzzle games – such as Mah-Jongg, Sokoban, Candy Crush, and 2048, to name a few – a...
متن کاملCandy Crush is NP-hard
We prove that playing Candy Crush to achieve a given score in a fixed number of swaps is NP-hard.
متن کاملProtein design is NP-hard.
Biologists working in the area of computational protein design have never doubted the seriousness of the algorithmic challenges that face them in attempting in silico sequence selection. It turns out that in the language of the computer science community, this discrete optimization problem is NP-hard. The purpose of this paper is to explain the context of this observation, to provide a simple i...
