[ERRONEOUS] A proof of P=NP using a Merkle tree – a new version

I’ve produced a short and much elementary proof of P=NP (without an efficient algorithm presented). I sent it to a reputable CS journal and insofar there were no errors noticed by the editor. Here is an updated version of my proof with some errors corrected: p=np-merkle.pdf In more details (and some errors corrected): Yet a […]

[ERRONEOUS] A proof of P=NP using a Merkle tree

I denote s(X) the size of data X (in bits). I denote execution time of an algorithm A as t(A,X). Using a Merkle tree technology similar to one of the Cartesi crypto (but with a true random number generator, and possibly the size of hashes themselves growing logarithmically), the size of the data and time […]
