Abstract: In this paper we first see how NP problems can be categorized and look at some examples. We then analyze the subset sum problem and prove its NP completeness. We look at various algorithms used to solve the problem and the efficiency of each algorithm. Hence we prove that subset sum problem is NP complete. Keywords: NP complete, NP hard, complexity, subset sum, exponential I. Introduction In the study of computation complexity of problems, we find out the resources required during

The Critical Section Problem Problem Description Informally, a critical section is a code segment that accesses shared variables and has to be executed as an atomic action. The critical section problem refers to the problem of how to ensure that at most one process is executing its critical section at a given time. Important: Critical sections in different threads are not necessarily the same code segment! Concurrent Software Systems 2 1 Problem Description Formally, the following
