ePrint Report: NP-Hardness of Approximating Meta-Complexity: A Cryptographic Approach
Yizhi Huang, Rahul Ilango, Hanlin Ren
It is a long-standing open problem whether the Minimum Circuit Size Problem ($\mathrm{MCSP}$) and related meta-complexity problems are NP-complete. Even for the rare cases where the NP-hardness of meta-complexity problems are known, we only know very weak hardness of approximation.
In this work, we prove NP-hardness of approximating meta-complexity with nearly-optimal approximation gaps. Our key idea is to use *cryptographic constructions* in our reductions, where …
