An Introduction to the Pcp Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we will first define basic concepts in computational complexity. Then, we will introduce the PCP Theorem and its equivalent formulation from the hardness of approximation view. Finally, we will prove a weaker version of the PCP theorem.

Background and Objectives: Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is an organic compound and phenolic derivatives categorized as priority pollutants that have harmful effects on humans, animals, and plants in low concentrations. Therefore, PCP removal from water and wastewater is very important. The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of A. niger fungus biomass in PCP absorption. Materials and Meth...

It is more convenient to work with the decision equivalents as they are simpler though they are polynomially equivalent to the original computational problems. The theory of NP-completeness discusses the hardness of these computational problems by studying the hardness of the equivalent decision problems. Similarly, when we study approximation algorithms for computational problems, it is often ...

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a very hazardous compound which enters into the environment by industries such as refineries and petrochemicals. As its biological degradation is very slow, this use may cause the pollution of soils and groundwater; with the recent emergence of pentachlorophenol contamination as an important drinking water quality issue, finding an easy, economical, and useful method ...

The PCP Theorem is concerned with the notion of “proofs” for mathematical statements. We begin with a somewhat informal definition: Definition 1.1. A traditional proof system works as follows: • A statement is given. (e.g., “this graph G = · · · is 3-colorable” or “this CNF formula F = (x1 ∨ x2 ∨ x10) ∧ · · · is satisfiable”). • A prover writes down a proof, in some agreed-upon format. • A veri...

Introduction & Objective: Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a refractory phenolic compound. Owing to its high poisonous and carcinogenic nature, PCP is on the US EPA’s list of priority pollut-ants. As a result, it is one of the important pollutants that need to be removed during water and wastewater reclamation processes. The efficiency of the catalytic ozonation process (COP) was assessed based on ...
