It is «NP - complete»: the
solution requires a
number of computational steps that grows faster than the
number of cities raised to any
finite power (NP stands for nondeterministic polynomial).
The bounded L2 curvature conjecture stipulates that Einstein's equations admit a
solution if, at the initial time, the space curvature tensor is square - integrable — in other words, if the integral
of its square is a
finite number.
One
of its consequences is that for any n = > 3 there are at most a
finite number of different
solutions to the Fermat equation.
If I want to be sure that my
finite element analysis (FEA)
of a mechanical system, for instance, is giving a reasonable answer, I first check it is consistent with a simplified analytical approximation and then change the analysis parameters, such as cell
number and shape, to see that my FEA
solution doesn't change drastically.
A specific legal issue necessarily has a
finite number of valid
solutions.
