Hard Sets are Hard to Find

چکیده
We investigate the frequency of complete sets for various complexity classes within EXP under several polynomial-time reductions in the sense of resource bounded measure. We show that these sets are scarce: The sets that are complete under 6 p n ?tt-reductions for NP, the levels of the polynomial-time hierarchy, and PSPACE have p 2-measure zero for any constant < 1. The 6 p n c ?T-complete sets for EXP have p 2-measure zero for any constant c. Assuming MA 6 = EXP, the 6 p tt-complete sets for EXP have p-measure zero. A key ingredient is the Small Span Theorem, which states that for any set A in EXP at least one of its lower span (i.e., the sets that reduce to A) or its upper span (i.e., the sets that A reduces to) has p 2-measure zero. Previous to our work, the theorem was only known to hold for 6 p btt-reductions. We establish it for 6 p n o(1) ?tt-reductions.

Density and Polarization Profiles of Dipolar Hard Ellipsoids Confined between Hard Walls: A Density Functional Theory Approach
The density and polarization profiles of the dipolar hard ellipsoids confined between hard walls are studied using the density functional theory (DFT). The Hyper-Netted Chain (HNC) approximation is used to write excess grand potential of the system with respect to the bulk value. The number density is expanded up to zero and first order in polarization to find the results. For the zero order in...
متن کاملSolvation Force in Hard Ellipsoid Molecular Liquids with Rod-Sphere and Rod- Surface Interactions
In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...

Background and Aim: Query (Q) fever is caused by hard ticks infected by Coxiella burnetii. It belongs to a group of diseases, classified as zoonosis, that are common between human-beings and animals. This study was conducted with the objective of defining the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii in humans, animal hosts and hard ticks in the western part of the Mazandaran province. Materials and Me...
متن کاملElimination of Hard-Nonlinearities Destructive Effects in Control Systems Using Approximate Techniques
Many of the physical phenomena, like friction, backlash, drag, and etc., which appear in mechanical systems are inherently nonlinear and have destructive effects on the control systems behavior. Generally, they are modeled by hard nonlinearities. In this paper, two different methods are proposed to cope with the effects of hard nonlinearities which exist in friction various models. Simple inver...
متن کاملEvaluation of Bi-objective Scheduling Problems by FDH, Distance and Triangle Methods
In this paper, two methods named distance and triangle methods are extended to evaluate the quality of approximation of the Pareto set from solving bi-objective problems. In order to use evaluation methods, a bi-objective problem is needed to define. It is considered the problem of scheduling jobs in a hybrid flow shop environment with sequence-dependent setup times and the objectives of minimi...
