Constructing Useful SAT Instances

I suppose by "literals" you mean variables. If you allow additional temporary variables there is explicit polynomial encoding in 4-SAT by carefully constructing the CNF. First we construct CNFs for …

Complexity of counting MAXCUT in planar graphs -- seemingly contradicting claims

Confusion is likely. Appears to me two papers give contradicting claims about the complexity of counting MAXCUT in planar graphs. Exact Max 2-SAT: Easier and Faster p. 6 However, counting the num …

Graph classes where finding explicit coloring have certificate that it is minumum

Graph coloring doesn't have certificate that smaller coloring doesn't exist in general. I am looking for graph classes where finding explicit coloring is not polynomial and have polynomially verifiab …

Bounds for constructing $n!$ with additions, subtractions, and multiplications starting from...

Here is partial result about multiple of factorial based on heuristic code. By the paper Michael Stoll cites, $t(m) \le 2 \log{m}$. By repeated squaring $t(a^{2^k}) \le t(a)+k$. Let $M=\log{n}$ an …

Complexity of finding algebraic dependency of polynomials over the rationals or in a finite ...

Let $f_1,\ldots f_m \in K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ where $K$ is $\mathbb{Q}$ or a finite field. Q1 What is the complexity of finding all algebraic dependencies between $f_i$? Q2 What is the complexity of fin …

Complexity consequence of logarithmic boolean width of co-bounded degree graphs?

The paper On graph classes with logarithmic boolean-width claims that the boolean width of co-k-degenerate graphs is at most $k\log{n}$ and a lot of graph vertex partition problems can be solved in po …

Is deciding if one planar graph is dual to another really NP-hard (Wikipedia claim)?

Wikipedia claims (permanent link) without reference: Testing whether one planar graph is dual to another is NP-complete. Another claim with reference: For any plane graph G, the medial graph …

NP-hardness of vertex cover for 3-chromatic graphs

Yes, it is NP-hard via reduction to Independent Set in cubic (3-regular) graphs. Cubic graphs different from $K_4$ are 3-colorable in polynomial time via Brooks' theorem and IS remains NP-hard for the …

Can we solve Hamiltonian Path problem for biconnected planar graphs in linear time?

According to graph classes this is NP-complete even on 2-connected ∩ cubic ∩ planar. The proof reduces it to NP-hardness of Hamiltonian cycle. Added because of the edit. I believe the graphclasse …

Complexity of edge coloring graphs with $\Delta(G) \ge n/3$ assuming the overfull conjecture

Closely related to this on cstheory. Let $G$ be graph of order $n$ with $\Delta(G) \ge n/3$. Assume the overfull conjecture. Can we edge color $G$ with minimal number of colors in polynomial time? …
