Definitions from the WebTerm: NP-HardDescription:NP-Hard is a term used in computer science and mathematics to describe a class of computational problems that are considered to be among the most challenging to solve efficiently. These problems are characterized by the property that there is no known algorithm that can solve them in polynomial time, which means that as the input size grows, the time required to solve the problem increases exponentially. Sense 1 - Adjective:In computer science, NP-Hard refers to a problem or algorithm that is proven to be at least as difficult as the hardest problems in the class called NP (nondeterministic polynomial time), meaning that solving it requires a significant amount of time. Example Sentence: The traveling salesman problem is known to be NP-Hard since finding the optimal solution becomes increasingly difficult as the number of cities increases. Sense 2 - Noun:NP-Hard is also used as a noun to refer to a problem or computational task that belongs to the class of NP-Hard problems. Example Sentence: The team of researchers has been working on an efficient algorithm to solve NP-Hards. Related Products: | ||||
