    A problem is complete for a complexity class if every problem in the class reduces to that problem, and it is also in the class itself. In this sense the problem represents the class, since any solution to it can, in combination with the reductions, be used to solve every problem in the class. However, in order to be useful, reductions must be ...

    For each combinatorial optimization problem, there is a corresponding decision problem that asks whether there is a feasible solution for some particular measure m 0. For example, if there is a graph G which contains vertices u and v , an optimization problem might be "find a path from u to v that uses the fewest edges".
