NP problem

Definition:

A decision problem for which there exists a nondeterministic algorithm[?] that solves it in polynomial time[?].

Equivalently, a decision problem for which there exists an algorithm[?] to validate a purported answer in polynomial time[?], given the right information.

Equivalently, a member of complexity class NP.

Generalizations:

• nondeterministically computationally tractable problem[?]
