So, as I’ve stated in the introductory post, my goal is to provide these discussions as a resource for CS Educators (or researchers, I suppose. But it’s really done from an educational point of view). What I’m not interested in doing is providing solutions to people’s homeworks. There’s enough of that out on the internet already.
On the other hand, as someone who is- shall we say- not unfamiliar with procrastination, I know that it’s pretty likely that people will be designing assignments on a short timeframe, and thus asking me for a password to look at each post when you need to see it right now isn’t very helpful. I’m also aware that password-protecting each post will make it less likely people will bother to look here. I’m not doing this for fame and fortune, but it would be nice to not scare off everyone from reading here.
My solution is to just password-protect entries that are not on the first page. I’ll also only put passwords on problems that are not already solved in the G&J book. That way, everyone gets to see the 20 or so entries on the front page, to see what this is about, to use for assignments or whatever. But then as time goes on, the older posts will be replaced by newer ones, and as they go back into the archives, you’ll need a password to see them. Hopefully that has some of the best of both worlds.
My plan is to give out passwords freely to anyone who has a legitimate use (my picture is CS faculty at other schools, but if other types of people are interested, that’s fine). If you’d like the password, please send me email, remove the extra “@” sign, and include in the email some way of showing you’re a teacher and not a student (a link to your faculty page at your school, for example). I’ll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
I am a CS faculty at University of Nebraska. The password to this site will be of great help.

Thank you for your time.
Hey juan and seal, im also from that university and now the engineer capacho told me to find some information about it, andd this information will be a lot of help. Can i have the password please?
Thank for your time
I can’t tell if this is spam or not, but if it’s not, please try contacting me using the process above, thanks!
Okay, ill send what you need
Done, i sent the e-mail
If you’re using it for research, send me an email telling about it, and maybe we can work something out
Hi, I’m a master student of Computer Science. The password to this site will be of great help. I want to use as reference to working with possible problems.
Can you email me some kind of info saying you’ll be using it for research and not a class?
Hi.
I am a professor of Operations Research at the university of Padova in Italy.
I am currently working on the problem of Partitioning a tree into Stars. Thus I am interested to look at all possible references having to do with partitioning a tree.
Thus a password will be very welcome.

Do you have a web page or something that shows your research? I couldn’t find you in the faculty list, but I may be looking in the wrong place.
no , i don’t have . i’m an amateur in CS and also beginner in this way , i will be so happy if you give me the permission for using this website , best wishes , H.Karimi
Is there a faculty member you can get to vouch that you want it for research? I want to make sure I don’t give it out to people who want homework solutions..
Hi, Im a student at UT, Arlington. I need the password for study purposes.
I don’t really want to give it to people who are using it just to do homeworks and stuff. If you’re a grad student and need it for research or something similar, let me know and we can try to figure something out
Hi, I am student of University of Florida. I am working on a paper of solving Karp’s classic NP problems and your password would be great help.
I don’t really want to give out the password to students because I don’t want it to be a resource for homework solutions.
One possibility would be for you to get a professor to contact me and tell me that it’s for research..
I´m a professor of computer science at UNISC, a brazilian university. Could I have a password?

Hi,
I am a Graduate student in Memorial University. I will like to explore interesting topics here for my project. I would appreciate it if you give me access.
Do you mean a project for a class? I don’t really want to give out the password for those kinds of things. One possibility would be to have your professor or advisor contact me and let me know it’s ok.
Yes I am class project. I am suppose to present a project topic with its problem, input, and output today. I found sometime on solving parity games. I think I will work with that.
Thanks for replying.

I’m not a CS educator but I’ve read Gary and Johnson book and I’m interested to know more about other Karp’s problems. If you don’t send a password for me is there any suggestion book or paper which helps me?
The Karp paper itself (at least the reductions in the second half) is actually pretty readable, if you want to look at those problems.
Hello.
I work at my thesis atm. The topic is running-time-analysis of selected NP-complete problems. Exact and approximate solution vs transformation in SAT instances and solving the problems via SAT-Solvers.
I read the book Garey/Johnson-Computers and Intractability.
I’m interested esp. in GP15 and wish to read more about it.
I dont need access to cheat or something. Just for the understanding. I can do the rest on my own. It would be helpful to get access for the page where GP15 is discussed. I’d like to analyse the problem, because it seems interesting and so far I dont hear about it.
Thank you!
