Abstract:

I'm sure most of us are roughly familiar with the ideas behind the P vs NP problem, but this talk will hopefully give us a better understanding of the process of proving NP completeness. After laying the formal framework for the problem, we will see several instances of proofs that certain problems are NP complete.
