An example is the partition problem. Both weak NP-hardness and weak polynomial-time correspond to encoding the input agents in binary coding. If a problem is strongly NP-hard, then it does not even have a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm. It also does not have a fully-polynomial time approximation scheme. An example is the 3-partition problem.

A decision problem H is NP-hard when for every problem L in NP, there is a polynomial-time many-one reduction from L to H. [1]: 80 Another definition is to require that there be a polynomial-time reduction from an NP-complete problem G to H.
It runs in polynomial time on inputs that are in SUBSET-SUM if and only if P = NP: // Algorithm that accepts the NP-complete language SUBSET-SUM. // // this is a polynomial-time algorithm if and only if P = NP. // // "Polynomial-time" means it returns "yes" in polynomial time when // the answer should be "yes", and runs forever when it is "no".
Such problems arise in approximation algorithms; a famous example is the directed Steiner tree problem, for which there is a quasi-polynomial time approximation algorithm achieving an approximation factor of () (n being the number of vertices), but showing the existence of such a polynomial time algorithm is an open problem.
NP is the set of decision problems solvable in polynomial time by a nondeterministic Turing machine. NP is the set of decision problems verifiable in polynomial time by a deterministic Turing machine. The first definition is the basis for the abbreviation NP; "nondeterministic, polynomial time". These two definitions are equivalent because the ...
