paragraph{Reminder.}
Homework must be typeset with LaTeX preferred. Make sure you understand the course collaboration and honesty policy before beginning this assignment. Collaboration is permitted, but you must write the solutions {em by
yourself without assistance}. You must also identify your
collaborators. Assignments missing a collaboration statement will not be accepted. Getting solutions from outside sources such as the
Web or students not enrolled in the class is strictly forbidden.

begin{problem}[$NP, BPP$, and $RP$] hfill
begin{enumerate}[(a)]
item Suppose $NP subseteq BPP$. Show that $mathprob{SearchSAT}$ can be solved in randomized polynomial-time. That is, show that there is a probabilistic poly-time algorithm $M$ such that for all satisfiable CNF formulas $varphi$, we have that $M(varphi)$ outputs a satisfying assignment to $varphi$ with probability at least $2/3$. (7 points)

item Use part (a) to conclude that if $NP subseteq BPP$, then $NP = RP$. (5 points)

begin{problem}[Counting Cycles]
A Hamiltonian cycle in a directed graph $G$ is a cycle that visits every vertex in $G$ exactly once. Define the problem $mathprob{#HAM}$footnote{Im not so sure about sharp ham, but I like my ham with sharp cheddar.} as follows: Given a directed graph $G$, count the number of Hamiltonian cycles in $G$. It is known that $mathprob{#HAM}$ is $sharpP$-complete. Use this fact to prove that $mathprob{#CYCLE}$ is also $sharpP$-complete. (8 points)
