For the next couple of weeks, Math Monday here at the blog will feature a guest blogger. Ed Aboufadel is Professor of Mathematics and chair of the Mathematics Department at Grand Valley State ...
Discover the mysteries of the P versus NP problem and the recent proof by Vinay Deolalikar that could change computational complexity forever. The P versus NP question concerns the speed at which a ...
A diagram showing the relevant complexity classes in the P vs NP problem. “P” problems are solvable in polynomial time; “NP” problems might be solvable in polynomial time, and are checkable in ...
This is the second installment of a two-part article from guest blogger Ed Aboufadel. Thanks again, Ed, for contributing. In Part I, we learned of an instance of the NP-complete problem subset-sum [1] ...
