Can graphs of bounded clique-width be recognized in polynomial time? [1] Can one find a simple closed quasigeodesic on a convex polyhedron in polynomial time? [2] Can a simultaneous embedding with fixed edges for two given graphs be found in polynomial time? [3] Can the square-root sum problem be solved in polynomial time in the Turing machine ...
This is a list of some of the more commonly known problems that are NP-complete when expressed as decision problems. As there are thousands of such problems known, this list is in no way comprehensive. Many problems of this type can be found in Garey & Johnson (1979).
In the ray tracing problem for a 3-dimensional system of reflective or refractive objects, determining if a ray beginning at a given position and direction eventually reaches a certain point. [ 15 ] Determining if a particle path of an ideal fluid on a three dimensional domain eventually reaches a certain region in space.
An interesting example is the graph isomorphism problem, the graph theory problem of determining whether a graph isomorphism exists between two graphs. Two graphs are isomorphic if one can be transformed into the other simply by renaming vertices. Consider these two problems: Graph Isomorphism: Is graph G 1 isomorphic to graph G 2?
Sometimes the list labeling problem is presented where S is not a set of values but rather a set of objects subject to a total order. In this setting, when an item is inserted into S, it is specified to be the successor of some other item already in S. For example, this is the way that list labeling is used in the order-maintenance problem. The ...
This is a list of well-known data structures. For a wider list of terms, see list of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For a comparison of running times for a subset of this list see comparison of data structures.
In computational complexity theory, Karp's 21 NP-complete problems are a set of computational problems which are NP-complete.In his 1972 paper, "Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems", [1] Richard Karp used Stephen Cook's 1971 theorem that the boolean satisfiability problem is NP-complete [2] (also called the Cook-Levin theorem) to show that there is a polynomial time many-one reduction ...
In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph.A path is called simple if it does not have any repeated vertices; the length of a path may either be measured by its number of edges, or (in weighted graphs) by the sum of the weights of its edges.
