CMSC 858 F : Algorithmic Lower Bounds Fall 2014 Puzzles and Reductions from 3 - Partition

چکیده
In this lecture, we first examine several classes of NP-hardness and polynomial time algorithms which arise from differences in how integers are encoded in problem input. We then look at the 3-partition problem, which is very useful for proving the strongest notion of NP-hardness. Finally, we use reduction from 3-partition to prove NP-hardness for a handful of problems, including a set of 4 packing type puzzles which we also show equivalent.

متن کاملAlgorithmic Lower Bounds : Fun With Hardness Proofs Fall 2014 Lecture 3 Scribe Notes
Last time, we established the hardness of two fundamental problems, (2-)Partition and 3-Partition, and exhibited a bunch of reductions from those problems to other numerical and geometrical ones. Today, we continue with reductions from 3and 2-Partition to geometrical problems—we’ll also use the fact that the problem of packing n squares into a square without rotations is strongly NP-complete, a...

Definition 1 ETH: there is no 2 time algorithm for n variable 3-SAT. (the current best bound is 1.30704 [1]). Note that an n-variable 3-SAT can have Ω(n) clauses but Impagliazzo et al. [2] show that there is a 2-time algorithm for n-variable 3-SAT iff there is a 2-time algorithm for m-clause 3-SAT. Thus ETH also says: There is no 2-time algorithm for m-clause 3-SAT. The standard textbook NP-har...

In the previous lectures, we looked at the online algorithms and studies some of the related problems. Now we look into streaming algorithms, which have many similarities with online algorithm. They both require decisions before seeing all data but streaming algorithms can defer actions with limited memory. In these two lectures, we introduce streaming algorithms, related communication complexi...
متن کاملCMSC 858 F : Algorithmic Game Theory Fall 2010 Complexity of finding Nash equilibrium : PPAD completeness results
Nash’s theorem guarantees the presence of mixed nash equilibrium in every finite game. We are concerned here with the problem of finding such an equilibrium efficiently. In other words, does there exist an algorithm to find the mixed nash equilibrium in polynomial time? The answer to this question is not known but it is known finding mixed Nash equilibrium is PPAD complete, which implies some s...
