摘要
在本文中,我们对杜立志的论文 "A polynomial-timealgorithm for 3-SAT "所提出的主张进行了研究。该论文声称提供了一种多项式时间算法来求解 NP-完全问题 3-SAT。在研究该论文的论证过程中,我们发现其算法的一个主要部分存在缺陷。我们认为,这个缺陷导致论文的算法错误地判定可满足的 3-CNF 布尔型公式的无限族不可满足。
A Critique of Du's "A Polynomial-Time Algorithm for 3-SAT
In this paper, we examine the claims made by the paper "A polynomial-time
algorithm for 3-SAT" by Lizhi Du. The paper claims to provide a polynomial-time
algorithm for solving the NP-complete problem 3-SAT. In examining the paper's
argument, we find a flaw in one of the main sections of its algorithm. We argue
that this flaw causes the paper's algorithm to incorrectly decide that an
infinite family of satisfiable 3-CNF boolean formulas are not satisfiable.
Therefore, the paper does not establish that P = NP.
