De Anza College Python FCC Reverse Auction Essay

I’m working on a python project and need support to help me study.

Option 1: Present a Polynomial-time Mapping Reduction

Write a report on exploring polynomial-time mapping reductions, either in our syllabus (using Python programs), or from outside our syllabus (using Python programs or informal descriptions).

The in-syllabus reduction examples are (you must present a Python program reduction if you choose one of the following):

• CircuitSAT to SAT and vice-versa
• Clique to Node Cover

The following are excluded from this project because the textbook already provided the python reduction program:

• Partition to Packing
• Undirected Hamilton Cycle to Directed Hamilton Cycle and vice-versa
• SAT to 3-SAT and vice-versa
• SAT to Clique

The cover sheet should include:

• Describe the two problems in your reduction.
  • Expected input and output values would help illustrate what each problem asks for.
  • You should not implement solvers for any of the problems, because we’re only concerned with the reduction.
• Present one of the following
  • Python program for the reduction with some simple explanation for in-syllabus/outside-syllabus reduction. Please provide the input and output format for your programs.
  • Detailed informal description of the reduction for outside-syllabus reduction.

• Demonstrate the reduction program C from problem F to program G is valid by showing both:
  • C is a polytime program.
  • C converts instances of F into instances of G such that C maps positive instances of F to positive instances of G, and negative instances of F to negative instances of G.

Notes on Option 1:

• Note that there are “trivial” reductions out there, where the input for A doesn’t need to be changed at all when reducing it to B. This usually happens if problem A is a special case of problem B. We won’t give full point to these reductions, just to be fair to students who worked on nontrivial reductions.

Other files you should also submit:

Python code for the reduction if you choose to present the reduction with python programs. And any files that support your report.
