Imagine that the annual university job fair is scheduled for next month and it is your job
Question:
Imagine that the annual university job fair is scheduled for next month and it is your job to book companies to host booths in the large Truman Auditorium during the fair. Unfortunately, at last year’s job fair, a fight broke out between some people from competing companies, so the university president, Dr. Noah Drama, has issued a rule that prohibits any pair of competing companies from both being invited to this year’s event. In addition, he has shown you a website that lists the competitors for every company that might be invited to this year’s job fair and he has asked you to invite the maximum number of noncompeting companies as possible. Show that the decision version of the problem Dr. Drama has asked you to solve is NP-complete.
