Abstract

P vs. NP problem is very important research direction in computation complexity theory. In this paper author, by an engineer’s viewpoint, establishes universal multiple-tape Turing-machine and k-homogeneous multiple-tape Turing-machine, and by them we can obtain an unified mathematical model for algorithm-tree, from the unified model for algorithm-tree, we can conclude that computation complexity for serial processing NP problem if under parallel processing sometimes we can obtain P=NP  in time-complexity, but that will imply another NP, non-deterministic space-complexity NP, i.e., under serial processing P≠NP  in space-complexity, and the result is excluded the case of NP problem that there exists a faster algorithm to replace the brute-force algorithm, and hence we can proof that under parallel processing time-complexity is depended on space-complexity, and vice verse, within P vs. NP problem, this point is just the natural property of P vs. NP problem so that “P≠NP ”.

Highlights

  • P vs. NP problem is an important problem in computation complexity theory

  • The complexity is main property of an algorithm, the complexity becomes to an important standard in algorithm analysis

  • Many NP problems have to waste so long time, or so many processors, that the problem is unsolvable in actual fact

Summary

Introduction

P vs NP problem is an important problem in computation complexity theory. It is from both time-complexity and space-complexity of deterministic/non-deterministic Turing-machine. The complexity is main property of an algorithm, the complexity becomes to an important standard in algorithm analysis. To these/this algorithms/algorithm we must do the algorithm analysis to optimize it. Complexity, includes time-complexity and space-complexity, is just main method to estimate algorithm cost. P vs NP problem is yielded from complexity analysis of algorithm. The hard point of NP is that whether it is natural difficulty, intrinsic difficulty, or artificial imposed difficulty, i.e., whether exponential time-complexity or exponential space-complexity can be transformed into polynomial time-complexity or polynomial space-complexity by algorithm optimization, so that NP can be become into P
