چکیده

In this paper we present an implementation of the computational method in [1] that allows ranking mathematical statements by their complexity. We introduce the complexity classes ICU,iMi¥1, and, accordingly, show that Legendre’s conjecture, Fermat’s last theorem, and Goldbach’s conjecture are in CU,1, Dyson’s conjecture is in CU,2, the Riemann hypothesis is in CU,3, and the four color theorem is in CU,4.

Evaluating the Complexity of Mathematical Problems: Part 1

In this paper we provide a computational method for evaluating in a uniform way the complexity of a large class of mathematical problems. The method, which is inspired by NKS1, is based on the possibility to completely describe complex mathematical problems, like the Riemann hypothesis, in terms of (very) simple programs. The method is illustrated on a variety of examples coming from different ...

The characteristics of mathematical word problems at the middle school and suggested strategies to facilitae their solution process

Abstract: This paper, first it has reviewed the literature on the characteristics of mathematical word problems and their solution process. The review revealed that among the root causes for students’ difficulties with mathematical word problems, two factors are salient, namely the text complexity and the unfamiliar context. To shed more light on these findings, a factorial experimental study w...

EVALUATING EFFICIENCY OF BIG-BANG BIG-CRUNCH ALGORITHM IN BENCHMARK ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS

Engineering optimization needs easy-to-use and efficient optimization tools that can be employed for practical purposes. In this context, stochastic search techniques have good reputation and wide acceptability as being powerful tools for solving complex engineering optimization problems. However, increased complexity of some metaheuristic algorithms sometimes makes it difficult for engineers t...

Inverse and Reverse 2-facility Location Problems with Equality Measures on a Network

In this paper we consider the inverse and reverse network facility location problems with considering the equity on servers. The inverse facility location with equality measure deals with modifying the weights of vertices with minimum cost, such that the difference between the maximum and minimum weights of clients allocated to the given facilities is minimized. On the other hand, the reverse c...

The Finite Horizon Economic Lot Scheduling in Flexible Flow Lines

This paper addresses the common cycle multi-product lot-scheduling problem in flexible flow lines (FFL) where the product demands are deterministic and constant over a finite planning horizon. Objective is minimizing the sum of setup costs, work-in-process and final products inventory holding costs per time unite while satisfying the demands without backlogging. This problem consists of a combi...
