Show that the language from problem 7.48 isin.
Describe the error in the following fallacious 鈥減roof鈥 that.Assume that P=NP and obtain a contradiction. If P=NP, then SAT? P and so, for some k,SAT?Because every language in NP is polynomial time reducible to SAT, you have
. Therefore,.Butby the time hierarchy theorem, TIME(n k+1) contains a language that isn鈥檛 in , which contradicts.Therefore,
Consider the following function that is defined as follows. Let PAD (s, l) = s#3, where j = max (0,l - m) and mis the length of s. Thus, pad (s, l)simply adds enough copies of the new symbol # to the end of s so that the length of the result is at least l. For any language A and function , define the language pad(A, f) as where and 鈥榤鈥 is the length of 鈥榮鈥 }. Prove that if , then .
