验证压缩和NP与PSPACE II:附录

Proof Compression and NP Versus PSPACE II: Addendum

L. Gordeev, E. H. Haeusler

摘要:

在[3]中,我们用改进的证明论方法证明了猜想NP = PSPACE,该方法结合了Hudelmaier的最小逻辑无割演算(HSC)[5]和相应的最小Prawitz式自然演绎(ND)[6]中的水平压缩。在本附录中,我们展示了如何证明一个较弱的结果NP = coNP,而不涉及HSC。其基本思想(由于第二作者)是省略完整的最小逻辑和压缩只有\naive“正常树状ND反驳的存在性的哈密尔顿圈在给定的非哈密尔顿图,因为哈密尔顿图问题的NP-完全。因此,不严格地说,NP = coNP的证明可以从我们的NP = PSPACE的证明中通过HSC-消去得到[3]。[3]L.

英文摘要:

In [3] we proved the conjecture NP = PSPACE by advanced proof theoretic methods that combined Hudelmaier's cut-free sequent calculus for minimal logic (HSC) [5] with the horizontal compressing in the corresponding minimal Prawitz-style natural deduction (ND) [6]. In this Addendum we show how to prove a weaker result NP = coNP without referring to HSC. The underlying idea (due to the second author) is to omit full minimal logic and compress only \naive" normal tree-like ND refutations of the existence of Hamiltonian cycles in given non-Hamiltonian graphs, since the Hamiltonian graph problem in NP-complete. Thus, loosely speaking, the proof of NP = coNP can be obtained by HSC-elimination from our proof of NP = PSPACE [3]. [3] L. Gordeev, E. H.
