CS 46 -- Homework 37



CS 46 Comprehensive Final Exam is scheduled for Friday, 8 May 9am-12n in Sci 264.

Due: Wednesday, April 22

  1. Write solutions to: 6.2.4, 7.2.2, 7.3.4e, 7.3.4h

    For the two 7.3.4 problems, I want you to prove that they are NP-complete. For each, I would prefer that you argue that it is in NP and then use a reduction to show that it is NP-complete. You do not have to treat these as generalizations of known NP-complete problems unless you want to.

    Note: In 7.3.4e, the index under the sigma should be j.
