List of NP-complete problems

List of NP-complete problems

Here are some of the more commonly known problems that are NP-complete when expressed as decision problems. This list is in no way comprehensive (there are more than 3000 known NP-complete problems). Most of the problems in this list are taken from Garey and Johnson's seminal book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness", and are here presented in the same order and organization.

Computational geometry

*Minimum weight triangulation for a set of points in the plane [ [http://www.citebase.org/cgi-bin/citations?id=oai:arXiv.org:cs/0601002 Minimum Weight Triangulation is NP-Hard, 22nd SCG (2006)] ]
*Testing whether a tree may be represented as Euclidean minimum spanning tree
*Unit disk graph recognition (Unit disk graphs are intersection graphs of circles of unit radius in the plane) [H. Breu and David G. Kirkpatrick. "Unit Disk Graph Recognition is NP-hard." Comput. Geom. Theory Appl., 9(1-2):3--24, 1998]
*Many motion planning among polygonal obstacles in the plane are NP-hard.
**Planar partitioning into connected subassemblies: Given a set A of non-overlapping (but possibly touching) polygons in the plane, decide if there is a proper subset S of A that can be separated from AS by a collision-free rigid motion of S, and such that both S and AS are connected.
