V. CONSTRAINED NUMBER PARTITIONING PROBLEM

To further illustrate the utility of SPIMs in tackling complex problems, we introduce the constrained number partitioning problem (CNP), examining its characteristics and computational challenges.

A. Definition and Characteristics of the Constrained Number Partitioning Problem

This suggests that CNP can be a perfect candidate for implementation on SPIM hardware because an average random CNP instance can be computationally hard even if L ≪ N (i.e. κ ≪ 1) as long as b is sufficiently close to bc. Two areas need to be explored to establish that this problem is computationally hard and suitable for implementation on SPIM. Firstly, the authors of [60] did not rigorously show that the existence of a perfect solution is correlated with the hardness of the CNP problem instance like it is in NPP. Secondly, in a system with finite size N, there will exist a non-zero value of κc,min which leads to the smallest number of precision L required for the average problem to be hard. This value is obtained when bias ratio b is as close as possible to bc given that S must be an even or odd integer depending on N. Finite-size effects are likely to make the transition between the easy and the hard phase gradual, with an intermediate region where the probability of having a perfect solution is close to neither 0 nor 1. In the following subsection, we will numerically investigate this phase transition with a finitely sized system and understand the precision requirement for a moderately sized CNP problem that is still computationally hard.
