Let CNFk= is a satisfiable cnf-formula where each variable appears in at most k places}.

a. Show thatCNF2?P .

b. Show thatCNF3isNP-complete.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is clear thatϕis satisfiable if and only if ry(ϕ)is satisfiable. The ry is a reduced polynomial time in terms of the number of variable inϕ fromCW_3isNP- complete.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:Chemical molecule of the equation

Now have to show that CMK2P-.

LetTybe the polynomial tine decider forCH2-

Tpcan be described as {TwS:

T3=on inputϕ=

02

Converting variable into polynomial

According to CNF rules,

Consider the first choose ofϕϕ. If it is of the from x, and there isxinϕ , reject

Solve CNF where c occurs in every choose, where negation of c does not appear-

Every time T1processes each variable and reaches either accept or reject Because of this the number ofϕ might decrease by 1 or Hence running time ofTp becomes polynomial tine in terms of the number of variables.

So,CH2P.

Thus,GW_3isNP- complete

In the following solitaire game, you are given anm×m board. On each of itsm2 positions lies either a blue stone, a red stone, or nothing at all. You play by removing stones from the board until each column contains only stones of a single color and each row contains at least one stone. You win if you achieve this objective. Winning may or may not be possible, depending upon the initial configuration. LetSOLITAIRE={<G>|G is a winnable game configuration}. Prove that SOLITAIREis NP-complete.

Recall the Post Correspondence Problem that we defined in Section 5.2 and its associated language PCP. Show that PCP is decidable relative to ATM.

A two-dimensional finite automaton (2DIM-DFA) is defined as follows. The input is an m×nrectangle, for any m,n2. The squares along the boundary of the rectangle contain the symbol # and the internal squares contain symbols over the input alphabet . The transition function δ:Q×#Q×L,R,U,Dindicates the next state and the new head position (Left, Right, Up, Down). The machine accepts when it enters one of the designated accept states. It rejects if it tries to move off the input rectangle or if it never halts. Two such machines are equivalent if they accept the same rectangles. Consider the problem of determining whether two of these machines are equivalent. Formulate this problem as a language and show that it is undecidable.
