Show that the language MAX-CLIQUE from Problem 7.48 is in PSAT.
Problem 7.48
The difference hierarchy DiP is defined recursively as
a. D1P = NP and
b. DiP = {A| A = B \ C for B in NP and C in Di−1P}.
(Here B \ C = B ∩ C.)
For example, a language in D2P is the difference of two NP languages. Sometimes D2P is called DP (and may be written DP). Let
Z = {〈G1, k1,G2, k2〉| G1 has a k1-clique and G2 doesn’t have a k2-clique}.
Show that Z is complete for DP. In other words, show that Z is in DP and every language in DP is polynomial time reducible to Z.
