Abstract

We prove that the problem of checking whether a quadratic 0-1 problem has a unique solution is NP-hard. Furthermore, we prove that finding the global minimum of quadratic 0-1 programming with unique solution remains an NP-hard problem. Regarding local search, we prove that the problem of finding a discrete local minimum for quadratic 0-1 problems, with two coordinates being fixed, is NP-hard. In addition, we discuss an algorithm for computing discrete local minima.
