Multiplicative-gap conditional MinKT #
This module formalizes Definition 6.5's multiplicative no threshold, its exact
program semantics, factor monotonicity, disjoint promise, and relation to the
additive GapMINCKT problem. A larger factor narrows the no side; therefore the
resulting multiplicative promise side-preservingly reduces to the additive
factor-one promise by the identity map.
The multiplicative no condition exactly forbids descriptions meeting its relaxed length and transformed-time bounds.
Any multiplicative no-instance with factor at least one is an additive no-instance.
Increasing the approximation factor can only narrow the no side.
Widening and a factor of at least one prevent overlap with the depth-adjusted yes side.
The multiplicative no language is contained in the additive no language when the factor is at least one.
Pointwise larger factors give pointwise smaller no languages.
Factor one recovers the additive no language exactly.
Definition 6.5's widening-certified multiplicative promise.

Instances For
The identity map side-preservingly reduces every factor-at-least-one multiplicative promise to the additive factor-one promise.
The semantic identity reduction is polynomial time.
NP-hardness of a factor-at-least-one multiplicative gap transfers to the additive factor-one promise. The direction follows the narrowing of the multiplicative no side.
If the multiplicative conditional gap is NP-hard while the corresponding
additive gap has a deterministic polynomial-time completion, then P = NP.
A valid conditional-complexity estimator whose threshold language is in
P rules out NP-hardness of the corresponding multiplicative gap unless
P = NP. This is the promise-hardness endpoint of the SoI estimator route.
