Question:

This problem is inspired by the single-player game Minesweeper, generalized to an arbitrary graph. Let G be an undirected graph, where each node either contains a single, hidden mine or is empty. The player chooses nodes, one by one. If the player chooses a node containing a mine, the player loses. If the player chooses an empty node, the player learns the number of neighboring nodes containing mines. (A neighboring node is one connected to the chosen node by an edge.) The player wins if and when all empty nodes have been so chosen. In the mine consistency problem, you are given a graph G along with numbers labeling some of G’s nodes. You must determine whether a placement of mines on the remaining nodes is possible, so that any node v that is labeled m has exactly m neighboring nodes containing mines. Formulate this problem as a language and show that it is NP-complete.
