Moreover, since we have assumed that r ′ ≠ 0, it is possible to solve for t as a function of s, and thus to write r ( s ) = r ( t ( s )).

When one attempts to solve problems in this class, it makes no difference whether ZF or ZFC is employed if the only question is the existence of a proof.

In its preface, Dawkins states that he wrote the book " to persuade the reader, not just that the Darwinian world-view happens to be true, but that it is the only known theory that could, in principle, solve the mystery of our existence.

After Newton, Lagrange ( 25 January 1736 – 10 April 1813 ) attempted to solve the three-body problem, analyzed the stability of planetary orbits, and discovered the existence of the Lagrangian points.

A pair of papers by Katherine Mack that appeared on the arXiv in November 2009 casts doubt on the existence of the QCD axion lighter than μeV scale, arguing that ( 1 ) cosmological observations imply that the existence of such a light axion creates a greater fine-tuning problem than the one that it was hypothesized to solve and ( 2 ) that anthropic arguments do not alleviate this fine-tuning problem.

The computability of a problem is closely linked to the existence of an algorithm to solve the problem.

There is a simple algorithm to solve 3SUM in O ( n < sup > 2 </ sup >) time by first hashing each element in the array, finding all possible pairs, then finally checking for existence of the remaining value ( which is simply the negative of the sum of each pair ) using the hash table.

The basic idea of the algorithm is to solve recursively a somewhat more general problem, testing the existence of a path from a vertex s to another vertex t that uses at most k edges, where k is a parameter that is given as input to the recursive algorithm ; STCON may be solved from this problem by setting k to n. To test for a k-edge path from s to t, one may test whether each vertex u may be the midpoint of the path, by recursively searching for paths of half the length from s to u and u to t.

While these proofs are in some sense " natural ", it can be shown ( assuming a widely believed conjecture on the existence of pseudorandom functions ) that no such proof can possibly be used to solve the P vs. NP problem.

* Leonid Khachiyan-mathematician, computer scientist, who proved the existence of an efficient way to solve linear programming problems

Over time, the argument goes, civilizations and groups develop a set of traditions, practices or customs that grow to solve certain problems of human existence.

The existence of a fundamental solution for any operator with constant coefficients — the most important case, directly linked to the possibility of using convolution to solve an arbitrary right hand side — was shown by Malgrange and Leon Ehrenpreis.

Conceptualization from observation of physical existence and conceptual modeling are the necessary means human employ to think and solve problems.

As more of the basic conditions of the human existence were met to the satisfaction of human needs, so the division of labour increased to create new activities for the use of time to solve more advanced concerns.

It is important to realize that the word problem is in fact solvable for many groups G. For example, polycyclic groups have solvable word problems since the normal form of an arbitrary word in a polycyclic presentation is readily computable ; other algorithms for groups may, in suitable circumstances, also solve the word problem, see the Todd – Coxeter algorithm and the Knuth – Bendix completion algorithm.

The early 17th century saw a febrile atmosphere in Spain, with numerous arbitrista offering various advice on how to solve Spain's various ills ; this advice could, and would, be given in person by those of the lower classes to the king on suitable occasions, provided it was presented with the aim of strengthening the crown.

The Association believed production of industrial hemp-based concrete could help solve the severe shortage of suitable dwellings on the reservation, as it is a sustainable construction material, and work for the unemployed.

Often, roboticists discover that the problems they are trying to solve are either much easier than expected, resulting in faster progress, or much harder -- requiring that they experiment with many different potential techniques before finding a suitable solution.

To solve this problem the exponent is biased before being stored, by adjusting its value to put it within an unsigned range suitable for comparison.

A large number of books have claimed to solve the difficulties, but the results differ, sometimes widely, and none have achieved consensus status.

A class of algorithms called SAT solvers can efficiently solve a large enough subset of SAT instances to be useful in various practical areas such as circuit design and automatic theorem proving, by solving SAT instances made by transforming problems that arise in those areas.

In particular, the DFT is widely employed in signal processing and related fields to analyze the frequencies contained in a sampled signal, to solve partial differential equations, and to perform other operations such as convolutions or multiplying large integers.

The first computer is attempting to solve a large and extremely difficult 3-SAT problem ; it has decomposed the original 3-SAT problem in a considerable number of smaller problems.

The CID-keyed font format was also designed, to solve the problems in the OCF / Type 0 fonts, for addressing the complex Asian-language ( CJK ) encoding and very large character set issues.

Most major belligerents attempted to solve the problems of complexity and security presented by using large codebooks for cryptography with the use of ciphering machines, the most well known being the German Enigma machine.

Moreover, crystallography can solve structures of arbitrarily large molecules, whereas solution-state NMR is restricted to relatively small ones ( less than 70 kDa ).

In 1985, Steve Jackson wrote a picture gamebook with the title Tasks of Tantalon, in which the player was required to solve a series of puzzles which were presented as large, full colour pictures containing hidden clues to be located and assembled.

Standard time, where all clocks in a large region are set to the same time, was established to solve this problem.

It has been mathematically proven that generalized chess ( chess played with an arbitrarily large number of pieces on an arbitrarily large chessboard ) is EXPTIME-complete, meaning that determining the winning side in an arbitrary position of generalized chess provably takes exponential time in the worst case ; however, this theoretical result gives no lower bound on the amount of work required to solve ordinary 8x8 chess.

The characters are all gathered in a large country house, given meaningless clues, and all of them fail to solve the mystery.

In 1949 the canvas awning was removed and replaced with fluted aluminium panels below the glass roof, in a new attempt to solve the echo ; however, the acoustics were not properly tackled until 1969 when a series of large fibreglass acoustic diffusing discs ( commonly referred to as " mushrooms " or " flying saucers ") were installed below the ceiling to reduce the notorious echo.

Advocates of this design approach claim that ordinary people of ordinary intelligence can use it to successfully solve very large, complex design problems.

The theorem also guarantees that there are problems in P requiring arbitrary large exponents to solve ; in other words, P does not collapse to DTIME ( n < sup > k </ sup >) for any fixed k. For example, there are problems solvable in n < sup > 5000 </ sup > time but not n < sup > 4999 </ sup > time.

He surprised the two-or-three thousand cadets by declaring ( in the words of Donald Christopher Smith, a Bermudian cadet who was present ) that war should be avoided at almost any cost, that war would solve nothing, that the whole of Europe and more besides would be reduced to ruin, and that the loss of life would be so large that whole populations would be decimated.

However it did not fully solve the warlord problem, as many warlords still had large armies that served their needs, not those of China.

There have been a large number of diverse approaches to solve the structure prediction problem.

This solution also allows for a large degree of concurrency, and will solve an arbitrarily large problem.
