Millennium Prize Problems

quote:

The Millennium Prize Problems are seven well-known mathematical problems selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in 2000. The Clay Institute has pledged a US$1 million prize for the correct solution of any of the problems. To date, the only Millennium Prize problem to have been solved is the Poincaré conjecture. The Clay Institute awarded their monetary prize to Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman in 2010. However, he declined the award for not also being offered to Richard S. Hamilton, upon whose work Perelman built. The remaining six unsolved problems are the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Hodge conjecture, Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness, P versus NP problem, Riemann hypothesis, and Yang–Mills existence and mass gap.


The Riemann hypothesis (the Riemann zeta function has non-trivial zeroes at negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 1/2) seems simple enough, so I might give that a shot.

Proving P = NP might also be fun. People will be sweating about their encrypted information.

?x^2 dx/dy = (x/3)^3 + C

Edit: Damn, TD doesn’t recognize the integral symbol...but we can have 30 abortion threads.

If no one has solved it, how do they know what the real answers are?

They don't. They hypothesize what the answers are based on the answers they get when they solve with different parameters. Now they want to prove it fits the hypothesis for all parameters.

Update: I made a major breakthrough at 4:30 am this morning on P vs. NP.

It occurred to me if I could write an equation describing “polynomial” time, and the re-arrange it, it’s essentially a diophantine elliptical equation.

As Wiles & Taylor (1995) demonstrated, all elliptical equations are modular. It’s now my interest to see if a non-polynomial mode of time has similar modularity.

I’ll keep people posted.

There is your error, my friend. If it's only ESSENTIALLY a diophantine elliptical, it cannot be assumed to behave as a true diophantine equation in the general case.

Sorry.

Do any of those involve an airplane on a treadmill?
