3 Selecting the Right Machine Model Computation Using Turing machine But the choice of machine seems to matter a great deal! Two tapes machines might take fewer steps than one tape machines Non-Deterministic machines might take fewer steps than Deterministic ones Is there a right choice to make?
4 Selecting the Right Machine If a two-tape machine takes steps, a one tape machine can simulate this in If a non-deterministic machine takes steps, a deterministic one can simulate this in So do we need classes for each machine type??
5 Theorem: DTIME( n k+ 1 k ) DTIME( n ) DTIME( k+1 n ) DTIME( n k )
6 The class P P = DTIME( n k ) for all k Polynomial time Type of deterministic machine no longer matters Adding more tapes changes k for a particular problem, but still polynomial All tractable problems
7 P {ww} n n { a b }
8 Some Classic Problems in Computer Science Satisfiability Problem Hamiltonian Path Problem Clique Problem Are these problems in P??
9 Eample: The Satisfiability Problem Boolean epressions in Conjunctive Normal Form: t 1 t 2 t 3 t k ti = p Variables Question: is epression satisfiable?
10 Eample: ( 1 2) ( 1 3 ) Satisfiable: =, 1, = 3 = ( 3 1 2) ( 1 ) = 1
11 Eample: ( 1 2) 1 2 Not satisfiable
12 L = { w:epression w is satisfiable} For n variables: L DTIME( 2 n ) eponential Algorithm: search ehaustively all the possible binary values of the variables
13 Eample: the Hamiltonian Problem s t Question: is there a simple path that passes through all vertices?
14 s t YES!
15 A solution: search ehaustively all paths L = {<G,s,t>: there is a Hamiltonian path in G from s to t} L DTIME( n!) DTIME(2 n ) Eponential time Intractable problem
16 Clique: A 5-clique CLIQUE = { : Given a graph does G contains a -clique} < G, k > G k Again, no obvious deterministic polynomial time algorithm..
17 Non-Determinism Language class: NTIME(n) NTIME(n) L 1 L L 3 2 A Non-Deterministic Turing Machine accepts each string of length in time O(n) n
18 Non-Deterministic Polynomial time algorithms: L NTIME( n k )
19 The class NP NP = NTIME( n k ) for all k Non-Deterministic Polynomial time
20 Eample: The satisfiability problem L = { w:epression w is satisfiable} Non-Deterministic algorithm: Guess an assignment of the variables Check if this is a satisfying assignment
21 L = { w:epression w is satisfiable} Time for n variables: Guess an assignment of the variables O(n) Check if this is a satisfying assignment O(n) Total time: O(n)
22 L = { w:epression w is satisfiable} L NP The satisfiability problem is an NP - Problem
23 Our Three Classic Problems: Satisfiability Hamiltonian Path Clique All can be solved in polynomial time using non-deterministic Turing machines. Could they be solved in polynomial time using deterministic Turing machines?
24 Observation: P NP Deterministic Polynomial Non-Deterministic Polynomial
25 Open Problem: P = NP? WE DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER
26 Open Problem: P = NP? Eample: Does the Satisfiability problem have a polynomial time deterministic algorithm? WE DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER
27 Polynomial Time Reductions Polynomial Computable function f : For any w computes in polynomial time f (w)
28 Language A is polynomial time reducible to language B if there is a polynomial computable function f such that: w A f ( w) B
29 Theorem: Suppose that is polynomial reducible to. B P A If then. Proof: Let M Machine to accept A P be the machine to accept B On input w : A 1. Compute f (w) in polynomial time: 2. Run M on input f (w) B
30 3CNF formula: ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( Each clause has three literals 3SAT ={ : is a satisfiable 3CNF formula} w w Language:
31 Theorem: 3SAT is polynomial time reducible to CLIQUE Proof: give a polynomial time reduction of one problem to the other
32 ( 1 1 2) ( 1 2 2) ( 1 2 3)
33 ) ( ) ( ) ( = = =
34 NP-Completeness A problem is NP-complete if: It is in NP Every NP problem is reduced to it (in polynomial time)
35 Observation: If we can solve any NP-complete problem in Deterministic Polynomial Time (P time) then we know: P = NP
36 Observation: If we prove that we cannot solve an NP-complete problem in Deterministic Polynomial Time (P time) then we know: P NP
37 Cook s Theorem: The satisfiability problem is NP-complete Sketch of Proof: Convert a Non-Deterministic Turing Machine to a Boolean epression in conjunctive normal form
38 Observations: It is unlikely(??) that NP-complete problems are in P The NP-complete problems have eponential time algorithms Approimations of these problems are in P
39 Other NP-Complete Problems: The Traveling Salesperson Problem Verte cover Hamiltonian Path All the above are reduced to the satisfiability problem
