Limits of Rush Hour Logic Complexity
John Tromp ; Rudi Cilibrasi ;
Date 15 Feb 2005
Subject Computational Complexity ACM-class: F.1.3; F.2 | cs.CC
AbstractRush Hour Logic was introduced in [Flake&Baum99] as a model of computation inspired by the ``Rush Hour’’ toy puzzle, in which cars can move horizontally or vertically within a parking lot. The authors show how the model supports polynomial space computation, using certain car configurations as building blocks to construct boolean circuits for a cpu and memory. They consider the use of cars of length 3 crucial to their construction, and conjecture that cars of size 2 only, which we’ll call `Size 2 Rush Hour’, do not support polynomial space computation. We settle this conjecture by showing that the required building blocks are constructible in Size 2 Rush Hour. Furthermore, we consider Unit Rush Hour, which was hitherto believed to be trivial, show its relation to maze puzzles, and provide empirical support for its hardness.
