Description

This lecture delves into the theory of complexity classes P and NP, exploring undecidable problems and the implications of self-reference in mathematics. It discusses the hierarchy of complexity classes, practical algorithms, and examples of problems in class P. The instructor explains non-polynomial problems like the traveling salesman and the backpack problem, illustrating the challenges of finding optimal solutions. The lecture concludes with an overview of the NP class and the efficient verification of solutions.
