| Abstract | We introduce a new definition of efficient algorithms for restricted domains. Under this definition, an algorithm is required to be “robust,” i.e., it must produce correct output regardless of whether the input actually belongs to the restricted domain or not. This is to be contrasted with the “promise” version of solving problems on restricted domains, in which there is a guarantee that the input is in the class, and an algorithm to “solve” the problem need not function correctly or even terminate if this guarantee is not met.The more stringent requirement of robustness in algorithms gives an important benefit: such algorithms are amenable to manipulation as building blocks of more general algorithms; in other words, composition of robust algorithms preserves robustness. In contrast, promise algorithms cannot be so composed.There exist problems which have a polynomial time promise solution, while being NP-hard if required to be robust. We show the perhaps surprising result that finding a maximum independent set in a well-covered graph (i.e., a graph in which every maximal independent set is of the same size) is NP-hard. An argument can be made that this hardness result is more meaningful than the trivial polynomial time promise algorithm.Graph classes provide interesting natural restricted domains; there are many problems which are efficiently solvable given a special and natural representation of a graph (i.e., a “model”), but which are open with respect to time complexity if the graph is given in a general form such as an adjacency list or an adjacency matrix. One such open problem is that of finding a maximum clique in unit disk graphs here, we give a polynomial time robust algorithm for this problem, i.e., given an input graph G in general form, the output is either a maximum clique for G or a certificate that G is not a unit disk graph. The existence of this algorithm is to be reconciled with the apparent contradiction posed by the facts:Recognizing whether an input graph given in general form is a unit disk graph is NP-hard; in fact, it is not even known to be in NP.Finding a maximum clique in an input graph given in general form is NP-hard. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
