Sharp Pocket Computer P<-->NP - Don Shepherd - 05-17-2020 04:38 PM
Several models of the Sharp Pocket Computer have a key labelled "P<-->NP."
What does that mean?
Google search talks about the complexity of problems, but it's hard to know if that would be found on a key legend.

OK, it toggles printing on/off. I should have known it would have nothing to do with complexity!

It doesn't mean "To P or not to P that is the question" ????

I love Ebay sometimes, I just got a pristine old 12c (3 small cells) for $12 bucks.

If you press it, it solves Traveling Salesman for the general case in polynomial time.
Always wondered about that key myself, honestly.
