Default P=NP and the traveling brown trout problem, solved in polynomial time!


"salmobytes" wrote

One of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics and
complexity theory has
finally been solved,




The Traveling Angler Problem: Given the occurrence of high runoff water
and the cost of travel, what is the cheapest route between Northern
California and dependably rising Montana trout the week of May 6th, 2007 and
a couple weeks following? Scheduling the route from rising fish to rising
fish is a daunting challenge when the location of those fish is known, when
their location is unknown the task assumes a complexity that humbles average
minds.

next couple weeks )



P.S. Your Keywords show at the bottom of the page, Sandy. Seems a bit odd
to me, .... on purpose or syntax error? .... maybe the weighty nature and
complexity of the page with it's PNP Mayfly simply warped the time/webspace
continuum?
