Proving Further Problems NP-Complete<br />

Statement (8.13) opens the door to a much fuller understanding of hard<br />

problems in ~Y: Once we have our hands on a first NP-complete problem,<br />

we can discover many more via the following simple observation. "<br />

(8.14) If Y is an NP-compIete problem, and X is a problem i~ 3q~ with the<br />

property that Y
