P-hard, does it mean that there is no polynomial alg. to solve the problem? A
lso, does it mean that the problem is at least NP-complete? Thanks! | r*****y 发帖数: 507 | 2 I am not good at it too. but here is my understanding.

Yes.
NOT necessary bah.

well, strictly speaking, this is true only if NP != P
most people believe that NP != P.

here is a definition for NP-complete:
A decision problem C is NP-complete if
1. it is in NP and
2. it is NP-hard, i.e. every other problem in NP is reducible to it.
So NP-complete is a subset of NP-hard.
here is an example:
given an arbitrary graph, finding its largest clique is NP-hard;
