Representing reductions of NP-complete problems in logical frameworks: a case study
Under the widely believed conjecture P=NP, NP-complete problems cannot be solved exactly using efficient polynomial time algorithms. Furthermore, any instance of a NP-complete pro...

On the Optimality of the Dimensionality Reduction Method
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...

The Traveling Beams Optical Solutions for Bounded NP-Complete Problems
Architectures for optical processors designed to solve bounded instances of NP-Complete problems are suggested. One approach mimics the traveling salesman by traveling beams that ...

A variational description of the ground state structure in random satisfiability problems
A variational approach to finite connectivity spin-glass-like models is developed and applied to describe the structure of optimal solutions in random satisfiability problems. Our ...
