  21. NP complete problems

  22. The theory of NP-completeness • Tractable and intractable problems • NP-complete problems

  23. Classifying problems • Classify problems as tractable or intractable. • Problem is tractable if there exists at least one polynomial bound algorithm that solves it. • An algorithm is polynomial bound if its worst case growth rate can be bound by a polynomial p(n) in the size n of the problem

  24. Intractable problems • Problem is intractable if it is not tractable. • All algorithms that solve the problem are not polynomial bound. • It has a worst case growth rate f(n) which cannot be bound by a polynomial p(n) in the size n of the problem. • For intractable problems the bounds are:

  25. Hard practical problems • There are many practical problems for which no one has yet found a polynomial bound algorithm. • Examples: traveling salesperson, 0/1 knapsack, graph coloring, bin packing etc. • Most design automation problems such as testing and routing. • Many networks, database and graph problems.

  26. The theory of NP-completeness • The theory of NP-completeness enables showing that these problems are at least as hard as NP-complete problems • Practical implication of knowing problem is NP-complete is that it is probably intractable ( whether it is or not has not been proved yet) • So any algorithm that solves it will probably be very slow for large inputs

  27. Decision problems • A decision problem answers yes or no for a given input • Examples: • Given a graph G Is there a path from s to t of length at most k? • Does graph G contain a Hamiltonian cycle? • Given a graph G is it bipartite?

  28. Decision problem: Hamiltonian cycle • A Hamiltonian cycle of a graph G is a cycle that includes each vertex of the graph exactly once. • Problem: Given a graph G, does G have a Hamiltonian cycle?

  29. The class P • P is the class of decision problems that are polynomial bounded • Is the following problem in P? • Given a weighted graph G, is there a spanning tree of weight at most B? • The decision versions of problems such as shortest distance, and minimum spanning tree belong to P

  30. The class NP • NP is the class of decision problems for which there is a polynomial bounded verification algorithm • It can be shown that: • all decision problems in P, and • decision problems such as traveling salesman, knapsack, bin pack, are also in NP

  31. The relation between P and NP • P Í NP • If a problem is solvable in polynomial time, a polynomial time verification algorithm can easily be designed that ignores the certificate and answers “yes” for all inputs with the answer “yes”.

  32. The relation between P and NP • It is not known whether P = NP. • Problems in P can be solved “quickly” • Problems in NP can be verified “quickly”. • It is easier to verify a solution than to solve a problem. • Some researchers believe that P and NP are not the same class.

  33. NP-complete problems • A problem A is NP-complete if 1. It is in NP and 2. For every other problem A’ in NP, A’ µ A • A problem A is NP-hard if For every other problem A’ in NP, A’ µ A

  34. Examples of NP-complete problems • Cook’s theorem Satisfiability is NP-complete • This was the first problem shown to be NP-complete • Other problems the decision version of knapsack, the decision version of traveling salesman

  35. Satisfiability problem

  36. The satisfiability problem • First, Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF) will be defined • Then, the Satisfiability problem will be defined

  37. Conjunctive normal form (CNF) • A logical (Boolean) variable is a variable that may be assigned the value true or false (x, y, w and z are Boolean variables) • A literal is a logical variable or the negation of a logical variable (x and y are literals) • A clause is a disjunction of literals ((wxy)and (xy)are clauses)

  38. Conjunctive normal form (CNF) • A logical (Boolean) expression is in Conjunctive Normal Form if it is a conjunction of clauses. • The following expression is in conjunctive normal form: (wxy)  (wyz)  (xy)  (wy)

  39. The satisfiability problem • Is there a truth assignment to the n variables of a logical expression in Conjunctive Normal Form which makes the value of the expression true? • For the answer to be yes, all clauses must evaluate to true • Otherwise the answer is no

  40. The satisfiability problem • x=F, y=F, w=T and z=T is a truth assignment for: (wxy)  (wyz)  (xy)  (wy) • Note that if y=F then y=T • Each clause evaluates to true

  45. Hamiltonian path • (Proposed by William Hamilton) • Given a network of nodes and directed connections between them, is there a path through the network that begins with the start node and concludes with the end node visiting each node only once (“Hamiltonian path")? • Does a Hamiltonian path exist, or not?”

  46. Hamiltonian path does exist end city Detroit Chicago Boston start city Atlanta

  47. Hamiltonian path does not exist start city Detroit Chicago Boston end city Atlanta

  48. Solving the Hamiltonian problem Generation-&-Test Algorithm Step 1 Generate random paths on the network. Step 2 Keep only those paths that begin with start city and conclude with end city. Step 3 If there are N cities, keep only those paths of length N. Step 4 Keep only those that enter all cities at least once. Step 5 Any remaining paths are solutions (i.e., Hamiltonian paths).

  49. The paths [X] D -> B -> A [X] B -> C -> D -> B -> A -> B [X] A -> B -> C -> B [X] C -> D -> B -> A [x] A -> B -> A -> D [O] A -> B -> C -> D [X] A -> B -> A -> B -> C -> D
