1 P, NP, NP-completeness 2 Reductions 1 Thu, July 7 th 1

2 Formalizing Tractability: Class P 2  Given a computational (decision) problem C  P: C is ∈ P (polynomial-time solvable) if ∃ an algorithm solving C with O(n k ) run-time, for some constant k.  where n is the input length in bits  k is some constant, say, 1, 2, 5, 1M, etc.  Ex poly-times: O(n), O(nlog(n)), O(n 3 ), O(n 100000 )  Ex: Every problem we saw so far (except 0-1 knapsack)

3 Fact: Some Problems Seem Intractable Ex: TSP 3 TSP: Traveling Salesman Problem Input: Complete graph G(V, E) with non-negative edge costs Output: ∃ a tour with cost ≤ k [i.e., cycle visiting each v once]? D C B A 2 1 4 3 5 6

4 Making a Case For TSP’s Intractability 4  (So far) We have not been able to argue for TSP’s intractability in an absolute sense. Idea From Early 1970s: Instead show “relative” intractability (i.e. show TSP is as hard as bunch of other problems C.)

5 Reductions: Showing C 2 is as hard as C 1 5 What does it mean for problem C 2 to be as hard as C 1 ? Definition: C 1 reduces to C 2, (C 1 ≤ p C 2 ), if given a poly- time algorithm for C 2, we can solve C 1 in poly-time. If C 1 reduces to C 2 => C 2 is “as hard as” C 1 Poly-time Alg for C 2 Π 1 ∈ C 1 Poly-time C 1 -> C 2 Converter Poly-time C 1 -> C 2 Converter Π 2 ∈ C 2 Solution to Π 2 Poly-time C 2 Solution -> C 1 Solution Converter Poly-time C 2 Solution -> C 1 Solution Converter Solution to Π 1

6 C = NP: Brute-force Solvable Problems Option 2: Let C be all brute-force solvable problems Definition (NP or brute-force solvable problems): A problem C ∈ NP if: 1.Correct solutions have polynomial length. 2.Claimed solutions are verifiable in poly-time. Q: Why do these 2 imply that C is exp-time solvable? There are 2 poly(n) possible solutions. Just verify & see if one is a solution: O(poly(n)2 poly(n) ) Dfn: EXP-Time = 2 poly(n) for some polynomial

7 Example NP problems  Every problem we have seen in CS 341.  Every problem in P.  (Most-likely) Every problem you will ever see in practice.  Ex: Decision version of TSP: ∃ T of size ≤ k? 1.Each tour T is a cycle of size n, so poly-length. 2.We can verify length of T in poly-time: just sum each edge in T. Warning: NP does not stand for: Not Polynomial It stands for: Non-deterministic Polynomial

8 Definition: Completeness 8 Let C be a set of problems. Ci ∈ CCi ∈ C If ∀ C k ∈ C, C k ≤ p C i, then C i is C -complete. (i.e. C i is as hard as every other problem in C ) (i.e. C i is the hardest problem in C ) Goal: Argue TSP is NP-complete

9 What is an NP-complete Problem? 9 NP C1C1 C1C1 C*: NP- complete C3C3 C3C3 C4C4 C4C4 C5C5 C5C5 C6C6 C6C6 CkCk CkCk C2C2 C2C2 C* is as hard as any NP problem!

10 Solving an NP-complete Problem 10 NP C1C1 C1C1 C*: NP- complete C3C3 C3C3 C4C4 C4C4 C5C5 C5C5 C6C6 C6C6 CkCk CkCk C2C2 C2C2 If we can solve C* efficiently, we can solve every single NP problem (basically all problems in practice)!!!

11 Two Ways to Argue C* is NP-Complete (1) 11 1. Just argue every NP problem reduces to C* NP C1C1 C1C1 C* C3C3 C3C3 C4C4 C4C4 C5C5 C5C5 CkCk CkCk C6C6 C6C6 C2C2 C2C2 Done for SAT (& CIRCUIT-SAT) in 1970 by Cook & Levin

13 Two Ways to Argue C* is NP-Complete (2) 13 2. Argue an NP-complete C** reduces to C* NP C1C1 C1C1 C* C3C3 C3C3 C4C4 C4C4 C5C5 C5C5 CkCk CkCk C6C6 C6C6 C** Done since 1971 for 1000s of problems C2C2 C2C2 B/c reductions are transitive => All NP problems reduce to C*

14 History of NP-completeness 14 NP C2C2 C2C2 SAT C3C3 C3C3 C4C4 C4C4 C5C5 C5C5 CkCk CkCk C6C6 C6C6 C1C1 C1C1 K1K1 K1K1 K2K2 K2K2 … … K 20 K 21 1971: Cook-Levin1972: Karp

15 History of NP-completeness 15 NP C2C2 C2C2 SAT C3C3 C3C3 C4C4 C4C4 C5C5 C5C5 CkCk CkCk C6C6 C6C6 C1C1 C1C1 K1K1 K1K1 K2K2 K2K2 … … K 20 K 21 NP-complete Since 1972

16 Method 1: Ex: CIRCUIT-SAT 16 Input: A circuit C of AND, OR, and NOT gates n inputs x 1, x 2, …, x n Output: Is C satisfiable, are there 0/1 values to x i that make C output 1? AND OR AND OR ANDNOTOR NOTAND NOT AND OR NOT AND OR AND x1x1 x2x2 x3x3 x4x4 x5x5

17 17 Method 1: Ex: CIRCUIT-SAT Idea for proving every NP problem C* reduces to CIRCUIT-SAT: Every NP problem by dfn has a poly-time verifier algorithm A. A takes poly-size inputs and runs poly-time. Represent the state of the machine at each time-step of A by a sub-circuit. Merge the sub-circuits into a circuit Z. (All poly-time operations) And argue that C* returns YES iff circuit Z has a satisfiable input.

18 Method 2: “Intractability” Argument for TSP 18 Show that TSP is NP-complete => i.e. TSP is as hard as any other NP problem By showing that another known NP-complete problem reduces to it.

19 Why is TSP NP-complete? 19 HAM-CYCLE Problem: Input: Undirected Graph G(V, E) Output: YES if G contains a Hamiltonian cycle/NO o.w Dfn: A Ham. Cycle is a simple cycle that contain each vertex of the graph once. Fact: Hamiltonian Cycle is NP-complete. SAT≤ p 3-SAT≤ p CLIQUE≤ p VERTEX-COVER≤ p HAM-CYCLE

20 Hamiltonian Cycle Example (1) 20 F CB A D E G

21 Hamiltonian Cycle Example 21 F CB A D E G Answer: YES.

22 Hamiltonian Cycle Example 22 F C B A E

23 Hamiltonian Cycle Example 23 F C B A E Answer: NO. Any complete cycle has to visit A twice

24 Observation: TSP vs Hamiltonian Cycle 24 D C B A 2 1 4 3 5 6 TSP is simply asking for the minimum weight HC. (or TSP-Decision is asking if a HC with weight < k exists?

25 HAM-CYCLE ≤ p TSP 25 Efficient Alg A for TSP Π 1 ∈ HC Efficient HC-TSP Converter Π 2 ∈ TSP Solution to TSP Efficient TSP-HC Solution Converter Efficient TSP-HC Solution Converter Solution to HC Need to show the two converters

26 HAM-CYCLE ≤ p TSP 26 Let G(V, E) be the input to HAM-CYCLE HC-TSP Converter: Let G*(V, E*) be a complete graph with edge weights: w((u, v)) = 0 if (u, v) ∈ E w((u,v)) = 1 if (u, v) ∉ E TSP-HC Solution Converter: ∃ a Hamiltonian Cycle in G ⇔ ∃ a TSP Tour with weight 0 Runtime: O(n 2 ) Runtime: O(1)

27 Proof of Claim 27 => If ∃ a Hamiltonian Cycle C in G, then since each edge of C has weight 0 in E*, then C is a tour in G* with weight 0 <= If ∃ a tour T with weight 0 in G*, then all of its edges must be of weight 0, and hence from E, so T is a hamiltonian cycle in G Q.E.D Therefore, if we can solve TSP efficiently, we can solve HAM-CYCLE efficiently.

28 Completing TSP’s NP-completeness Proof 28 If we can solve TSP efficiently, we can solve HAM- CYCLE efficiently (by just transforming the input G to G* in poly-time & transforming the solution of TSP to HC in poly-time) since HAM-CYCLE is NP-complete  we can solve every single NP problem efficiently  TSP is NP-complete Q.E.D

29 Does P = NP? 29 We know P ⊆ NP. Two possibilities: NP P P=NP Is every problem, whose solutions are efficiently verifiable, is also efficiently solvable? We don’t know. But most people believe P ≠ NP.

30 Why Do People Believe P ≠ NP? 30 1.There are 1000s of NP-complete problems and for none of them is there a poly-time algorithm. 2.Counter to General Human Experience 3.Also some weird mathematical consequences, such as polynomial hierarchy collapsing, and others… But We Simply Don’t Know (Yet)!

31 How could we resolve P vs NP? 31 NP P P=NP Prove an NP-complete problem is solvable in poly time. Prove an NP-complete problem is NOT solvable in poly time. We don’t know which world we live in.

32 Your Problem is NP-complete. Now What? 32  Option 1: Focus to special-case inputs.  Ex: Independent Set is NP-complete.  Focusing on line graphs, had a O(n) DP alg.  Option 2: Find an approximate answer.  Will show a very simple algorithm for 0-1 Knapsack.  Option 3: Be exponential time but better than brute- force search.  0-1 Knapscak O(nW) runtime DP algorihm.  Option 4: Heuristics: fast algorithms that are not always correct (or even approximate)  Option 5: Mix some of these options

40 Recall 2 Criteria For NP-Completeness 40 1.C* has to be in NP. 2.Every other NP problem has to reduce to C*.

41 Criterion 1: Why is SAT in NP? 41 Can verify a solution X* = (x 1 = 0/1, …., x n = 0/1) is linear time! Just check if X* makes φ true!

42 Criterion 2: Why does every NP problem reduce to SAT? 42 Method 1: Cook-Levin Theorem Won’t show in class Method 2: Or can show CIRCUIT-SAT, which is NP- complete reduces to SAT

43 3-CNFSAT 43 Input: A boolean formula φ consisting of: n boolean variables x 1, x 2, …, x n m boolean connectives: ∧ (AND), ∨ (OR), ¬ (NOT) and parantheses s.t. (1) each clause has 3 distinct literals; AND (2) φ is in Conjunctive Normal Form Output: Is φ satisfiable?

44 Conjunctive Normal Form 44 φ = (x 1 ∨ ¬x 3 ∨ x 7 ) ∧ (x 2 ∨ ¬x 3 ∨ x 5 ) ∧ (¬x 1 ∨ x 2 ∨ ¬x 7 ) ∧ … Clauses φ is in CNF: if (1) each clause is an OR of literals or their negations & (2) φ is an AND of clauses φ is in 3-CNF: if (1) φ is in CNF & (2) clauses have 3 distinct literals x i are literals

45 Criterion 1: Why is 3-CNFSAT in NP? 45 Can verify a solution X* = (x 1 = 0/1, …., x n = 0/1) is linear time! Just check if X* makes φ true! Specifically check if X* makes each clause true!

68 Completing Clauses to 3 Literals 68 φ`` = y 1 ∧ [(y 1 ∨ ¬y 2 ∨ x 2 )] ∧ [(¬y 1 ∨ y 2 ∨ x 2 )] ∧ [ (¬y 1 ∨ y 2 ∨ ¬x 2 )] ∧ [(¬y 1 ∨ ¬y 2 ∨ ¬x 2 )] … φ = ((x 1 → x 2 ) ∨ ¬((¬x 1 ↔ x 3 ) ∨ x 4 ))) ∧ ¬x 2 Add dummy variables p and q with tautologies to complete each clause to exactly 3 literals. Case 1: There is 1 variable in the clause, e.g., y 1 Change y 1 with: H = (y 1 ∨ p ∨ q) ∧ (y 1 ∨ p ∨ ¬q) ∧ (y 1 ∨ ¬p ∨ q) ∧ (y 1 ∨ ¬p ∨ ¬q) Note: H ↔ y 1

69 Completing Clauses to 3 Literals 69 Case 2: There are 2 variables in clause, e.g., (y 1 ∨ y 2 ) Change (y 1 ∨ y 2 ) with: T = (y 1 ∨ y 2 ∨ p) ∧ (y 1 ∨ y 2 ∨ ¬p) Note: T ↔ y 1 ∨ y 2 We are now done! We have an equivalent φ``` that is in 3CNF.

70 Runtime of our SAT->3-CNFSAT Converter? 70 φ  φ`: added y i ; so O(m) time φ`  φ``: expanded each clause by ≤ 8 clauses; so O(m) time as well φ``  φ```: (expanded each clause by ≤ 4 clauses; so O(m) time as well. Total Runtime: O(m) Converting the solutions is O(1) time b/c φ =φ```
