NP-complete

acceptable problems, NP, contains all sets in which membership can be verified in polynomial time. NP represents the class of decision problems which can be solved in polynomial time by a non-deterministic model of computation. A non-deterministic model can make the right guesses on every move and race towards the solution much faster than a deterministic model. Example- Integer factorization is NP. This is the problem that gives integers n and m, is there an integerf with 1 < f < m such that f divides n ( f is small factor of n)? This is a decision problem because the answers are yes or no. If someone hands us an instance of the problem ( so they hand us integers n and m ) and an integer f with 1 < f < m and claim that f is a factor of n we can check the answer in polynomial time by performing the division n /f. Nondeterministic Polynomial-Hard The set A is hard for a class of sets if and only if every set in the class is many-one reducible to A. If the reducibility function is not very complex, this means that the set A is at least as complex as any of the members of the class it is hard for. Thus an NP-hard set would be as difficult to decide membership in as any set in NP. If it were itself in NP, it would be the most complex set in the class. We have a name for this. If a problem is NP-hard, this means I can reduce any problem in NP to that problem. This means if I can solve that problem, I can easily solve any problem in NP. If we could solve an…

2. Was Kary acting within the scope of her employment as a peanut vendor when she added curry powder to the peanuts she was selling? An employee is acting within the scope of his employment when he is performing tasks or duties for which he has been employed. Williams v. Cmty. Drive-In Theater, Inc., 214 Kan. 359, 364, 520 P.2d 1296, 1300 (1974). If the employee is performing tasks that are reasonably related to the purpose of their employment, this is indicative to the scope of employment. The…

could also learn how to identify specific plants or how to draw the perfect circle. AGI does not have as many limitations as ANI, but AGI can learn new things in its development. The limitation AGI does have is a result of its human-level intelligence; AGI can only think or learn as much as a human can. Artificial superintelligence (ASI) is the super AI with the ability to perform better than humans in every way (Andros). ASI is the least developed artificial intelligence, and the AI is only a…

inflection; I looked into the mirror and knew I could never go back again. The desire to help others was a force too great. The law was my path now. It would be a gamble all too familiar. The stakes, however, were different. I would have to relocate my family to London, England. I would be leaving behind all that I worked for in business. I would be leaving behind Vancouver, where my home and heart is, where my family and friends are, and where I met and married my wife. I would have to learn…

Gun control is always a hot topic in the headlines but it has been especially hot since the 2016 elections are upon us. Everyone wants to know what each of the candidate’s potion is on the topic of gun control. Well if you ask my opinion we are in desperate need of better and more regulations concerning guns. The amount of mass shootings that have occurred just over the past 30 years alone raises a high concern for better gun regulations. The fact that most of these mass shootings that have…

Analytical Summary: “What’s happening to college students today?” In Tim Elmore’s Psychology Today article “What’s happening to college students today?” Posted on November 30, 2015, he addresses why college students want to commit suicide. Elmore’s exigence is from Madison Holleran who was the third of six Penn students to commit suicide within a year. His message is how suicide have become more common in the last decade. Elmore proposes to you some steps on how to lead some students well.…

Prevention and Intervention Recognition of risk factors and the cumulative affects of stress are essential in the early diagnosis and prevention of suicide. The following diagram outlines the process leading to either suicide or prevention. Figure 2. How does suicide occur? From: “Youth suicide: Epidemiology and prevention strategies” by M.S. Gould, 2012, Texas Suicide Prevention Symposium, p. 7 Prevention approaches for adolescent suicide have traditionally been conducted in three areas:…

Bijay Rai ESOL 052 Essay Gun Control The United States is on top among twenty-five high-income nations of firearm deaths( more than 30,000 each year) and with around 400,000 gun crimes committed every year. According to this statistic, strict and powerful laws are needed to keep guns out of the public. 270 millions guns are owned by Americans, and thousands of people die from gun each year, which shows that guns don’t keep us safe. Although many people own guns for self-protection,…

Raymond Nahikian December 6, 2017 Rhetoric and Narrative Professor Welling Final Paper What Killed Music? The Slow and Mysterious Death of Music “Real music is dead! Why isn’t there any good music like this nowadays!” I have seen this short, exclamatory sentence frequently in the comments section on YouTube. They can be found on multiple videos involving music approximately from the 1950s to the mid-to-late 2000s. Online comments like these have divided music lovers and casual listeners…

The author is at pains to understand the nature of the creature he refers to as “Tyger.” In the first stanza, he begins by calling “Tyger, Tyger” hence bringing out the mysteriousness of this creature that he is trying to understand. The author moves further to talk about its power when he writes that it burns brighter even in the forest of darkness. Blake completes the first stanza seeking an answer to why the creator of Tyger creates it. Further, in the second stanza, Blake suggests to the…
