چکیده

We convert, within polynomial-time and sequential processing, NP-Complete Problems into a problem of deciding feasibility of a given system S of linear equations with constants and coefficients of binary-variables that are 0, 1, or -1. S is feasible, if and only if, the NP-Complete problem has a feasible solution. We show separate polynomialtime conversions to S, from the SUBSET-SUM and 3-SAT problems, both of which are NP-Complete. The number of equations and variables in S is bounded by a polynomial function of the size of the NP-Complete problem, showing that deciding the feasibility of S is strongly-NP-Complete. We also show how to apply the approach used for the SUBSET-SUM problem to decide the feasibility of Integer Linear Programs, as it involves reducing the coefficientmagnitudes of variables to the logarithm of their initial values, though the number of variables and equations are increased.

On the membership problem for the {0, 1/2}-closure

In integer programming, {0, 1/2}-cuts are Gomory–Chvátal cuts that can be derived from the original linear system by using coefficients of value 0 or 1/2 only. The separation problem for {0, 1/2}-cuts is strongly NP-hard. We show that separation remains strongly NP-hard, even when all integer variables are binary. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Testing membership in the {0, 1/2}-closure is strongly NP-hard, even for polytopes contained in the n-dimensional 0/1-cube

Caprara and Fischetti introduced a class of cutting planes, called {0, 1/2}-cuts, which are valid for arbitrary integer linear programs. They also showed that the associated separation problem is strongly NPhard. We show that separation remains strongly NP-hard, even when all integer variables are binary, even when the integer linear program is a set packing problem, and even when the matrix of...

NP-Hardness of optimizing the sum of Rational Linear Functions over an Asymptotic-Linear-Program

We convert, within polynomial-time and sequential processing, an NP-Complete Problem into a realvariable problem of minimizing a sum of Rational Linear Functions constrained by an Asymptotic-Linear-Program. The coefficients and constants in the real-variable problem are 0, 1, -1, K, or -K, where K is the time parameter that tends to positive infinity. The number of variables, constraints, and r...

Application of Electrochemistry to Determination of Transfer Gibbs Energies and Autoprotolysis Constants for Aqueous Mixtures of Dimethyl Sulfoxide

A practical potentiometric method was applied successfully to experimental electrochemical data in order to determine the autoprotolysis constants (pKap) of water + dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures containing 0-90 % of DMSO by volume at 25° C and 0.1 M ionic strength was maintained in each mixture by NaClO4 solution. The results indicated that water-DMSO mixtures are more basic media than pure water...

Numerical Simulation of 1D Linear Telegraph Equation With Variable Coefficients Using Meshless Local Radial Point Interpolation (‎MLRPI)

In the current work, we implement the meshless local radial point interpolation (MLRPI) method to find numerical solution of one-dimensional linear telegraph equations with variable coefficients. The MLRPI method, as a meshless technique, does not require any background integration cells and all integrations are carried out locally over small quadrature domains of regular shapes, such as lines ...
