In computational complexity theory, P and NP are two classes of problems. P is the class of decision problems that a deterministic Turing machine can solve in polynomial time. In useful terms, any ...

An Italian researcher with a penchant for retro games -- or perhaps just looking for an excuse to play games in the name of science! -- has used computational complexity theory to decide, once and for ...

New research from the University of Waterloo is making inroads on one of the biggest problems in theoretical computer science ...

They have a mathematical, analog “solver” that can potentially find the best solution to NP-hard problems. NP-hardness is a theory of computational complexity, with problems that are famous for their ...

Back in January we looked at the work of Giovanni Viglietta at the University if Pisa in Italy who had proved the computational complexity of many computer games from the 80s and 90s, such as Pac-Man ...

Computational complexity and equilibrium analysis form an interrelated field at the crossroads of theoretical computer science and game theory. Researchers in this area investigate the intrinsic ...
