Aggregability is NP-hard

ACM SIGACT News, 2006
Many dynamical systems are aggregable in the sense that we can divide their variables x 1 ,..., x n into several ( k ) non-intersecting groups and find combinations y 1

NP-Hard Problems

1994
This chapter establishes the NP-hardiness of a number of scheduling problems. To prove that a given Problem B is NP-hard, we use the following scheme. The decision Problem B’ corresponding to Problem B is formulated, and a Problem A is shown to be polynomially reducible to B’ where A is one of the standard problems, i.e., a decision problem known to be

$(2+\varepsilon)$-Sat Is NP-hard

SIAM Journal on Computing, 2017
Summary: We prove the following hardness result for a natural promise variant of the classical CNF-satisfiability problem: Given a CNF-formula where each clause has width \(w\) and the guarantee that there exists an assignment satisfying at least \(g=\lceil\frac{w}{2}\rceil-1\) literals in each clause, it is NP-hard to find a satisfying assignment to ...

Approximation Algorithms for NP-Hard Problems

Oberwolfach Reports, 2005
It is an interesting artifact that most computational tasks today that arise in realistic scenarios are intractable, at least if one insists on delivering exact solutions with certainty within a strict deadline. An important mean for surmounting this intractability barrier is that of approximate computation

Graph Problems: NP-Hard

2020
A cynical view of graph algorithms is that “everything we want to do is hard.” Indeed, all problems in this section are provably NP-complete with the exception of graph isomorphism—whose complexity status remains an open question. The theory of NP-completeness demonstrates that either all NP-complete problems have polynomial-time algorithms, or none of

FINDING TYPE SETS IS NP-HARD

International Journal of Algebra and Computation, 1991
It is shown that determining the type set of the variety generated by a finite algebra is a P-Space-hard problem. This is done by interpreting into it the P-Space-complete problem of determining if a given function is a composition of a set of unary functions on a set.
