np_hard (543B)


      1 # NP-hard
      2 
      3 at least as hard as the hardest [computational_problem]s in [nptime]
      4 - admits a [ptime_reduction] from any [nptime] problem
      5 - subtlety about which type of reduction is allowed, e.g., [many_one_reduction] vs [turing_reduction]
      6   - usual notion is [many_one_reduction]
      7   - with [turing_reduction], the difference between [np] and [conp] disappears
