Next to the old problem of the slowness of decision making, network structure seems to be paramount, and without monitoring no network has value.

The discussion of professional ethics inevitably reminded us that in the historical perspective the President's decision will finally clarify itself as a moral, rather than a medical, problem.

Another problem in the area of federal-state relationships is this: what constitutes reversible error in a state decision??

The problem arises, if it does arise, when the educator has to make a choice or a decision within the area of his professional competence, but which bears some relation to the social structure.

That is why it is so very important that ethical analysis keep clear the problem of decision as to `` permitted '' effects, and not draw back in fright from any conceivable contingency or suffer paralysis of action before possibilities or probabilities unrelated, or not directly morally related, to what we can and may and must do as long as human history endures.

A partial formalization of the concept began with attempts to solve the Entscheidungsproblem ( the " decision problem ") posed by David Hilbert in 1928.

In solving a subsonic problem, one decision to be made by the aerodynamicist is whether to incorporate the effects of compressibility.

Athanasius ' first problem lay with the Meletians, who had failed to abide by the terms of the decision made at the First Council of Nicaea which had hoped to reunite them with the Church.

In other words, there is an algorithm for a quantum computer ( a quantum algorithm ) that solves the decision problem with high probability and is guaranteed to run in polynomial time.

In complexity theory, the satisfiability problem ( SAT ) is a decision problem, whose instance is a Boolean expression written using only AND, OR, NOT, variables, and parentheses.

The Cook – Levin theorem states that the Boolean satisfiability problem is NP-complete, and in fact, this was the first decision problem proved to be NP-complete.

To solve this instance of the decision problem we must determine whether there is a truth value ( TRUE or FALSE ) we can assign to each of the variables ( x < sub > 1 </ sub > through x < sub > 4 </ sub >) such that the entire expression is TRUE.

The problem of how many variable assignments satisfy a formula, not a decision problem, is in # P. UNIQUE-SAT or USAT or Unambiguous SAT is the problem of determining whether a formula known to have either zero or one satisfying assignments has zero or has one.

The first theory about software was proposed by Alan Turing in his 1935 essay Computable numbers with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem ( decision problem ).

The decision problem that asks whether a certain string s belongs to the language of a certain context-sensitive grammar G, is PSPACE-complete.

Worse yet, since the aforementioned decision problem for CSG's is PSPACE-complete, that makes them totally unworkable for practical use, as a polynomial-time algorithm for a PSPACE-complete problem would imply P = NP.

In contrast, an instance of this problem is a rather concrete utterance, which can serve as the input for a decision problem.

To further highlight the difference between a problem and an instance, consider the following instance of the decision version of the traveling salesman problem: Is there a route of at most 2000 kilometres in length passing through all of Germany's 15 largest cities?

In computational complexity theory, BPP, which stands for bounded-error probabilistic polynomial time is the class of decision problems solvable by a probabilistic Turing machine in polynomial time, with an error probability of at most 1 / 3 for all instances.

In computational complexity theory, BQP ( bounded error quantum polynomial time ) is the class of decision problems solvable by a quantum computer in polynomial time, with an error probability of at most 1 / 3 for all instances.

In the 2011 court case AT & T Mobility v. Concepcion, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision that the Federal Arbitration Act of 1925 preempts state laws that prohibit contracts from disallowing class action lawsuits, which will make it more difficult for consumers to file class action lawsuits.

The existence of the Euclidean algorithm places ( the decision problem version of ) the greatest common divisor problem in P, the class of problems solvable in polynomial time.

In complexity theory, the class NC ( for " Nick's Class ") is the set of decision problems decidable in polylogarithmic time on a parallel computer with a polynomial number of processors.

NC < sup > i </ sup > is the class of decision problems decidable by uniform boolean circuits with a polynomial number of gates of at most two inputs and depth O ( log < sup > i </ sup > n ), or the class of decision problems solvable in time O ( log < sup > i </ sup > n ) on a parallel computer with a polynomial number of processors.

The complexity class of decision problems solvable by an algorithm in class A with an oracle for a language L is called A < sup > L </ sup >.

BQP is contained in the complexity class # P ( or more precisely in the associated class of decision problems P < sup ># P </ sup >), which is a subclass of PSPACE.

In computational complexity theory, the complexity class # P ( pronounced " number P " or, sometimes " sharp P " or " hash P ") is the set of the counting problems associated with the decision problems in the set NP.

Unlike most well-known complexity classes, it is not a class of decision problems but a class of function problems.

The closest decision problem class to # P is PP, which asks if a majority ( more than half ) of the computation paths accept.

Therefore, making a class serializable needs to be a deliberate design decision and not a default condition.

In the theory of computational complexity, the decision version of the TSP ( where, given a length L, the task is to decide whether any tour is shorter than L ) belongs to the class of NP-complete problems.

The immediate cause of the parliamentary loss had been the government's decision to drop the prosecution of communist editor John Ross Campbell under the Incitement to Mutiny Act 1797 for publication of an open letter in Workers Weekly calling on soldiers to " let it be known that, neither in the class war nor in a military war, will you turn your guns on your fellow workers.

" Classes were promptly cancelled in Beijing primary and secondary schools, followed by a decision on June 13 to expand the class suspension nationwide.

* Since L is NP-complete, and hence the hardest in class NP, also problem H is at least as hard as NP, but H does not have to be in NP and hence does not have to be a decision problem ( even if it is a decision problem, it need not be in NP );

Due to the decision in Robert P. Isabella v. Department of State and Office of Personnel Management, 2008 M. S. P. B.

Second thoughts on this decision leaped immediately into the minds of such executives as Alfred P. Sloan Jr., and Charles Wilson, GM's President.

However, under this definition, the trivial decision problem ( the one that accepts everything ) and its complement would provably not be in NP-hard, even if P

Formally, a decision problem is P-complete ( complete for the complexity class P ) if it is in P and that every problem in P can be reduced to it by using an appropriate reduction.

The decision to replace the reliable but ageing T111 was taken in 1952 based on central planning economy of socialist government where directive was made to Tatra N. P.

The Janata Dal and the Left Front had jointly declared him as their candidate, and this had later garnered support from the Congress under P. V. Narasimha Rao, leading to a unanimous decision on his election.

The decision was a result of a lawsuit brought against the town by the N. A. A. C. P.

The Court, in a decision by Justice Joseph P. Bradley, held that the language of the 14th Amendment, which prohibited denial of equal protection by a state, did not give Congress power to regulate these private acts.

The decision was rendered 5-4, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase and Justices Wayne, Swayne and Miller dissenting, and Chief Justice Chase pronouncing a forcible protest.
