The Sudoku completion problem with rectangular hole pattern is NP-complete
The sudoku completion problem is a special case of the latin square completion problem andboth problems are known to beNP-complete. However, in the case of a rectangular hole pattern – i.e. each column (or row) is either full or empty of symbols – it is known that the latin square completion problem can be solved in polynomial time. Conversely, we prove in this paper that the same rectangular h...
متن کاملThe Maze Generation Problem is NP-complete
The Maze Generation problem has been presented as a benchmark for the Second Answer Set Programming Competition. We prove that the problem is NP–complete and identify relevant classes of unsatisfiable instances. The Maze Generation (MG) problem has been presented as a benchmark for the Second Answer Set Programming (ASP) Competition1. The problem has been placed in the NP category, which contai...
متن کاملThe transposition median problem is NP-complete
During the last years, the genomes of more and more species have been sequenced, providing data for phylogenetic reconstruction based on genome rearrangement measures, where the most important distance measures are the reversal distance and the transposition distance. The two main tasks in all phylogenetic reconstruction algorithms is to calculate pairwise distances and to solve the median of t...
متن کاملThe Cophylogeny Reconstruction Problem Is NP-Complete
The co phylogeny reconstruction problem is that of finding minimum cost explanations of differences between historical associations. The problem arises in parasitology, molecular systematics, and biogeography. Existing software tools for this problem either have worst-case exponential time or use heuristics that do not guarantee optimal solutions. To date, no polynomial time optimal algorithms ...
متن کاملThe Graph Genus Problem is NP-Complete
The genus g(G) of a graph G is the smallest number g such that G can be embedded on the orientable surface of genus g. Given a graph G and a natural number k one may ask: Is g(G) I k? This problem, called the graph genus problem, is one of the remaining basic open problems, listed by Garey and Johnson 121, for which there is neither a polynomially bounded algorithm nor a proof that the problem ...
