In the proof of the Cook–Levin theorem, a window is a rectangle of cells. Show why the proof would have failed if we had used role="math" localid="1664195743361" windows instead.
For a cnf-formula with variables and clauses , show that you can construct in polynomial time an NFA with states that accept all nonsatisfying assignments, represented as Boolean strings of length . Conclude that implies that NFAs cannot be minimized in polynomial time.
Let be any unary language. Show that if A is NP-complete, then P = NP. (Hint: Consider a polynomial time reduction f from SATto A. For a formula , let be the reduced formula where variables x1, x2, x3, and x4 in are set to the values 0, 1, 0, and 0, respectively. What happens when you apply f to all of these exponentially many reduced formulas?)
