The “P” in P versus NP stands for polynomial time. That just means we can predict the maximum amount of time it will take to solve the problem. You may have never heard of P versus NP, but in this article, Zack Grossbart will walk you through it, show you how it works and expla...
That is, given an input w to a problem A∈NP, there is a string c called a certificate and a Turing machine M for which M verifies that c proves w∈A and runs in polynomial time. This definition is a bit hard to swallow, but examples clarify the situation greatly. For the problem...
so evolution would still seem to be a complex NP problem, as the article suggests. A single molecule out of place can cause severe/fatal damage (e.g. Sickle Cell Anemia). It is not clear why an NP problem becomes solvable by brute force when there are more than 1,...
Clearly, based on the definition above,P⊆NP. Let’s take a look at an example to illustrate this abstract problem. One of the most common yet effective examples isSudoku. Given an unsolved Sudoku grid (9 x 9 for example), it would take an algorithm a fair amount of time to solve ...
If X is poly-time reducible to Y, we can not say anything about X, even if Y is NP-hard, so there must exist some polytime solvable problems which can be reduced to some NP-hard problems. Can someone provide some examples of it? complexity-theory computer-science computation-theory np...
Earthworms, caecilians (elongate, burrowing amphibians), eels, and other snakes are examples of Type II prey. These food items require specializations to immobilize the prey (constriction or venom), but do not require large gapes. Most primitive snakes (eg, the pipe snakes, Cylindrophis and A...
This subject can be pretty difficult, as each DP soluble problem must be defined as a recursion relation, and coming up with it can be tricky. I suggest looking at many examples of DP problems until you have a solid understanding of the pattern involved. Videos: the Skiena videos can be...
"The problem isn't the levers," replies the functionalist, "the problem is that a GLUT has thewrong patternof levers. You need levers that implement things like, say, formation of beliefs about beliefs, or self-modeling... Heck, you need the ability to write things to memory just so th...
Another problem is that significance testing is also one-sided. A right-skewed p-curve can be used to reject the null-hypotheses that all studies are false positives, but the absence of significant right skew cannot be used to infer the lack of evidential value. Thus, p-curve cannot be us...
