The Complexity of Enumeration and Reliability Problems

Valiant, Leslie G.·1979·SIAM Journal on Computing

Abstract

The class of $# P$-complete problems is a class of computationally eqivalent counting problems (defined by the author in a previous paper) that are at least as difficult as the $NP$-complete problems. Here we show, for a large number of natural counting problems for which there was no previous indication of intractability, that they belong to this class. The technique used is that of polynomial time reduction with oracles via translations that are of algebraic or arithmetic nature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
