The NP-Completeness Column: An Ongoing Guide
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the fourth edition of a quarterly column the purpose of which is to provide continuing coverage of new developments in the theory of NP-completeness. The presentation is modeled on that used by by M. R. Garey and myself in our book ‘‘Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,’’ W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979 (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘[G&J]’’; previous columns will be referred to by their dates). A background equivalent to that provided by [G&J] is assumed, and, when appropriate, cross-references will be given to that book and the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented there. Readers who have results they would like mentioned (NP-hardness, PSPACE-hardness, polynomial-time-solvability, etc.), or open problems they would like publicized, should send them to David S. Johnson, Room 2C355, Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, NJ 07974, including details, or at least sketches, of any new proofs (full papers are preferred). In the case of unpublished results, please state explicitly that you would like the results to be mentioned in the column. Comments and corrections are also welcome. For more details on the nature of the column and the form of desired submissions, see the December 1981 issue of this Journal.

A note on the Consecutive Ones Submatrix problem
A binary matrix has the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P) for columns if there exists a permutation of its rows that leaves the 1’s consecutive in every column. The problem of Consecutive Ones Property for a matrix is a special variant of Consecutive Ones Submatrix problem in which a positive integer K is given and we want to know if there exists a submatrix B of A consisting of K columns of A wi...
متن کاملThe three column Bandpass problem is solvable in linear time
The general Bandpass problem is NP-hard and was claimed NP-hard when the number of columns is three. Previously we designed a polynomial time row-stacking algorithm for the three column case, to produce a solution that is at most 1 less than the optimum. We show in this paper that for any bandpass number B ≥ 2, an optimal solution is always achievable in linear time.
متن کاملA Polynomial-time Exact Algorithm for the Subset Sum Problem
Subset sum problem, (SSP), is an important problem in complexity theory, it belongs to complexity class NP-Hard, therefore to find a polynomial-time exact algorithm that solves subset sum problem proves that P=NP. In the present paper it will be shown a theorem that allows us to develop, as described in the paper, an algorithm of polynomial-time complexity. For a deepening on complexity theory ...
