Consistency of circuit evaluation, extended resolution and total NP search problems
We consider sets Γ(n, s, k) of narrow clauses expressing that no definition of a size s circuit with n inputs is refutable in resolution R in k steps. We show that every CNF shortly refutable in Extended R, ER, can be easily reduced to an instance of Γ(0, s, k) (with s, k depending on the size of the ER-refutation) and, in particular, that Γ(0, s, k) when interpreted as a relativized NP search ...
متن کاملan investigation into iranian teachers consistency and bias in evaluation of students writings
while performance-based language assessment has led to an increased authenticity and content validity in the practice of writing assessment, the reliability of ratings has become a major issue. research findings have shown different reactions by native english speaker (nes) and non-native english speaker (nns) teachers to students’ writings. the focus of this study is on investigating whether i...
NP-complete problems and Quantum Search
Consider SAT, the prototypical example of an NP-complete problem. An instance of this problem consists of a Boolean function f (x1, . . . ,xn) = c1 ∧ . . .∧ cm; the SAT problem asks you to determine whether there exists a satisfying assignment—that is, an input (a1, . . . ,an) such that f (a1, . . . ,an) = 1. UNIQUE-SAT is a variant of SAT that poses the same problem with the restriction that f...
متن کاملThe provably total NP search problems of weak second order bounded arithmetic
We define a new NP search problem, the “local improvement” principle, about labellings of an acyclic, bounded-degree graph. We show that, provably in PV, it characterizes the ∀Σb1 consequences of V 1 2 and that natural restrictions of it characterize the ∀Σb1 consequences of U 1 2 and of the bounded arithmetic hierarchy. We also show that over V 0 it characterizes the ∀ΣB0 consequences of V 1 a...
متن کاملOn the Structure of Parameterized Problems in NP (Extended Abstract)
Fixed-parameter intractability of optimization problems in NP is studied based on computational models with limited nondeterminism. Strong evidence is provided that many NP optimization problems are not fixed-parameter tractable and that the fixed-parameter intractability hierarchy (the W -hierarchy) does not collapse.
