NP (complexity) In computational complexity theory, NP ("Non-deterministic Polynomial time") is the set of decision problems solvable in polynomial time on a non-deterministic Turing machine. Equivalently, it is the set of problems whose solutions can be "verified" by a deterministic Turing machine in polynomial time.
NP-40 NP-40 is a nonionic surfactant used in the isolation and purification of functional membrane proteins, consisting of "octyl phenol ethylene oxide" condensates and "nonyl phenol ethylene oxide" condensate complexes. NP-40 has a critical micelle concentration of 50-300 µM and an aggregation number of 100-155.
NP-complete In complexity theory, the NP-complete problems are the most difficult problems in NP ("non-deterministic polynomial time") in the sense that they are the smallest subclass of NP that could conceivably remain outside of P, the class of deterministic polynomial-time problems. The reason is that a deterministic, polynomial-time solution to any NP-complete problem would also be a solution to every other problem in NP.
NP-hard In computational complexity theory, NP-hard (Non-deterministic Polynomial-time hard) refers to the class of decision problems H such that for every decision problem L in NP there exists a polynomial-time many-one reduction to H, written L leq_p H. If H itself is in NP, then H is called NP-complete.
