[FOM] [1305.5976] A Polynomial Time Algorithm for the Hamilton Circuit Problem

[Alasdair Urquhart]

These "proofs" are a dime a dozen.
If FOM subscribers are interested in them,
they will find a very lengthy catalogue in the
"P-versus-NP page" maintained by GJ Woeginger

http://www.win.tue.nl/~gwoegi/P-versus-NP.htm

Xinwen Jiang's "proof" is discussed in item 53
of the P-versus-NP page.

>> In this paper, we introduce a so-called Multistage graph Simple Path (MSP) problem and show that the Hamilton Circuit (HC) problem can be polynomially reducible to the MSP problem. To solve the MSP problem, we propose a polynomial algorithm and prove its NP-completeness. Our result implies NP=P.
