The proof demonstrates polynomial-time solutions for NP problems, indicating major impacts on cryptography and optimization.
The P = NP problem asks whether every problem whose solution can be verified in polynomial time (NP) can also be solved in polynomial time (P). In this paper, we present a proof that P = NP, demonstrating that every NP problem can be solved deterministically in polynomial time. We introduce a new Computation Model that enables the simulation of a Turing machine, and show that NP problems can be simulated efficiently within this framework. By introducing the concept of a Feasible Graph, we ensure that the simulation can be performed in polynomial time, providing a direct path to resolving the P = NP question. Our result has significant implications for fields such as cryptography, optimization, and artificial intelligence, where NP-complete problems play a central role.
