We discuss the connection between computational social choice (comsoc) and computational complexity.

Existence versus Exploitation: The Opacity of Backbones and Backdoors Under a Weak Assumption

no code implementations14 Jun 2017 Lane A. Hemaspaandra, David E. Narváez

For example, in this paper we show that, under the assumption that P $\neq$ NP, there are easily recognizable families of Boolean formulas with strong backdoors that are easy to find, yet for which it is hard (in fact, NP-complete) to determine whether the formulas are satisfiable.

The Opacity of Backbones

no code implementations11 Jun 2016 Lane A. Hemaspaandra, David E. Narváez

We show that, under the widely believed assumption that integer factoring is hard, there exist sets of boolean formulas that have obvious, nontrivial backbones yet finding the values, $a_S$, of those backbones is intractable.
