Will P vs NP ever be solved?

Although one-way functions have never been formally proven to exist, most mathematicians believe that they do, and a proof of their existence would be a much stronger statement than P ≠ NP. Thus it is unlikely that natural proofs alone can resolve P = NP.

What is the difference between P vs NP?

P = the set of problems that are solvable in polynomial time by a Deterministic Turing Machine. NP = the set of decision problems (answer is either yes or no) that are solvable in nondeterministic polynomial time i.e can be solved in polynomial time by a Nondeterministic Turing Machine[4].

What is the difference between P and NP problems?

P is the set of problems whose solution times are proportional to polynomials involving N’s. NP (which stands for nondeterministic polynomial time) is the set of problems whose solutions can be verified in polynomial time. But as far as anyone can tell, many of those problems take exponential time to solve.

Which is the proof of P vs NP?

[Equal]: Here is Miron Telpiz’s web-pageon his proof of P=NP. His main theorem reads: “The class of NP-complete problems is coincides with the class P”. The proof of this theorem has been derived in the second half of the year 2000, and it is contained in the book “Positionality principle for notation and calculation the functions (Volume One)”.

Who is the author of P vs NP?

Zhu Daming, Luan Junfeng and M. A. Shaohan (all affiliated with Shandong University, China) refute these claims in their paper “Hardness and methods to solve CLIQUE”(Journal of Computer Science and Technology 16, 2001, pp 388-391). [Equal]: Here is Miron Telpiz’s web-pageon his proof of P=NP.

When did Swart deduced that P = NP?

Since linear programming is polynomially solvable and Hamiltonian cycle is NP-hard, Swart deduced that P=NP. In 1988, Mihalis Yannakakis closed the discussion with his paper “Expressing combinatorial optimization problems by linear programs” (Proceedings of STOC 1988, pp. 223-228).

When did Nicholas Argall prove that P = NP?

[Undecidable]: Nicholas Argall proved on 25 March 2003 that P=NP is undecidable. His main line of argument is that a provable answer to the P=NP question requires a complete and consistent formal statement of the question. Then he invokes Goedel’s theorem and deduces that P=NP is undecidable. The proof is actually quite short: ascii file
