A Candidate Counterexample to the Easy Cylinders Conjecture
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a candidate counterexample to the easy cylinders conjecture, which was recently suggested by Manindra Agrawal and Osamu Watanabe (see ECCC, TR09-019). Loosely speaking, the conjecture asserts that any 1-1 function in P/poly can be decomposed into “cylinders” of sub-exponential size that can each be inverted by some polynomial-size circuit. Although all popular one-way functions have such easy (to invert) cylinders, we suggest a possible counterexample. Our suggestion builds on the candidate one-way function based on expander graphs (see ECCC, TR00-090), and essentially consists of iterating this function polynomially many times.

On the oriented perfect path double cover conjecture
An oriented perfect path double cover (OPPDC) of a graph $G$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric orientation $G_s$ of $G$ such that each arc of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each vertex of $G$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an end of a path. Maxov{'a} and Ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (Discrete Math. 276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...
متن کاملHadwiger's conjecture for K 6-free graphs
In 1943, Hadwiger made the conjecture that every loopless graph not contractible to the complete graph on t+1 vertices is t-colourable. When t ≤ 3 this is easy, and when t = 4, Wagner’s theorem of 1937 shows the conjecture to be equivalent to the four-colour conjecture (the 4CC). However, when t ≥ 5 it has remained open. Here we show that when t = 5 it is also equivalent to the 4CC. More precis...

We study the Isomorphism Conjecture proposed by Berman and Hartmanis. It states that all sets complete for NP under polynomial-time many-one reductions are P-isomorphic to each other. From previous research it has been widely believed that all NP-complete sets are reducible each other by one-to-one and length-increasing polynomial-time reductions, but we may not hope for the full p-isomorphism ...
