We define the language SUBSET-SUM as follows: SUBSET-SUM = 3 (S, k) : There exists S* C S such that s=k SES*
That is, (S, k) E SUBSET-SUM iff there is a subset of numbers in S such that their sum is
A student would like to prove that the language SUBSET-SUM is NP-Hard by using VERTEX-COVER. They have provided the following reduction but have given no analysis to justify their reduction. As a result, they will gain no points for the analysis of the reduc- tion, but it is still possible that their reduction is correct. As a grader, you need to analyze this reduction to provide the appropriate number of points. The reduction works as follows:
f on input (G= (V, E), k):
(1) Fix an arbitrary ordering on the edges of the graph G.
(2) For each vertex v, generate a number with El + 1 digits where the last digit is 1, and the ith digit is 1 if the įth edge is incident to v. All other digits in this number are 0.
(3) For the ith edge, generate a number with E +1 digits where the ith digit of this number is 1. All other digits in this number are 0.
(4) Output all of the numbers generated and the number 2...2k El copies of 2, followed by k noting that all of the numbers are represented in base k +1.

Ithink the answer is b. hope this .

My favorite is "be concise."have you ever received an email and had to read a page full of information? by the time you finished reading it, you had to re-read it? i have even hit "reply" so that i could break it down into separate paragraphs and send it back to myself.what is concise? get to the point, fast. when opening an email like this, some will close it or print it to read later.i learned to use the subject line to prepare the reader for content. such as, "need on (blank), " "info only re: (blank)," "request input on (blank)," "read before (blank) meeting." these are just some.if you are asking for something, make that your first sentence. follow this by who, what, when, where, and how. use these, as necessary. example; (1) who (who needs it and or who does it), (2) what (specific description of what is needed), (3) when (specific, i need this by 8: 00 am monday or i need this by 10: 00 am today), (4) where (does it have to be printed and taken to someone, maybe the place of the meeting), (5) how (i need it scanned or faxed back to me at this email address, provide me with a hard copy).do not send yet. re-read it. did some spell check change a word? maybe let someone else read it for understanding. you want to avoid multiple emails asking for clarification. if important, put a read receipt on it. you will know it was opened, not necessarily read.end with a you.
