I Definition of the subject and its importance
The inherent difficulty, or hardness, of computational problems is a fundamental concept in com-
putationalcomplexitytheory. Hardnessistypicallyformalized intermsoftheresourcesrequired
by different models of computation to solve a given problem, such as the number of steps of a
deterministicTuringmachine. Avariety ofmodelsandresourcesare oftenconsidered,including
deterministic, nondeterministic and probabilistic models; time and space constraints; and inter-
actionsamongmodelsofdifferingabilities. Manyinterestingrelationshipsamongthesedifferent
modelsandresourceconstraintsareknown.
