Decision problems for some classes of integer partitions and number multisets

Institute of Mathematics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Minsk, Belarus

Abstract: We show that the class of integer partitions that cannot be represented as convex combinations of two partitions of the same number coincides with the class of knapsack partitions and the class of Sidon multisets, which includes sum-free sets and standard Sidon sets. The decision problem for knapsack partitions is proved to be co-$NP$-complete, and, therefore, it cannot be solved in polynomial time unless $P=NP$. Bibl. 13 titles.

Key words and phrases: polytopes of partitions of numbers, vertices of polytopes, Sidon multisets, decision problems, $NP$-completeness.
