NP is the class of languages that have polynomial time verifiers
Thursday, 23 May 2024 by Emmanuel Udofia
The class NP, which stands for "nondeterministic polynomial time," is a fundamental concept in computational complexity theory, a subfield of theoretical computer science. To understand NP, one must first grasp the notion of decision problems, which are questions with a yes-or-no answer. A language in this context refers to a set of strings over some

Is verifier for class P polynomial?
Monday, 27 November 2023 by panosadrianos
A verifier for class P is polynomial. In the field of computational complexity theory, the concept of polynomial verifiability plays a important role in understanding the complexity of computational problems. To answer the question at hand, it is important to first define the classes P and NP. The class P, also known as "polynomial time,"
