1337.0. "Discussion on NP hard/complete problems" by XANADU::BISWAS () Tue Nov 13 1990 12:12

Hi,

I am preparing for my Ph.D comprehensive exam and finding the NP-complete
proofs as difficult as I used to find them when I was back in school. When
you have to show that a given problem is NP-hard you have to reduce a 
known NP-hard problem to the given problem. That process is usually not 
straight forward.

Is there anybody in the ZKO/Nashua area who is interested in these problems 
and have the time and energy to discuss these problems with me? I am sure
there are algorithms "gurus" around here! Help!!

Thanks,

Prabuddha Biswas
