摘要

如果标题中的说法被证实，证明它的人将赢得一百万美元，并立即成为超级巨星。他或她肯定会出现在《纽约时报》(New York Times)的头版上，应该会受到深夜脱口秀节目的邀请，并成为PBS Nova特别节目的主题。很长一段时间以来——很长一段时间以来——这个关于P和NP之间关系的基本开放问题一直是阻塞复杂性理论学院主要走廊的巨大的白色河马。

From the Editors: P ≠ NP

When and if the statement in the title is proved, the person who proves it will win a million dollars and become an instant megastar. He or she will certainly appear on the front page of The New York Times and should expect invitations from late-night talk shows and to be the subject of a PBS Nova special. For a long timea very long timethis fundamental open question about the relationship between P and NP has been the large white hippo blocking the main hallway of the Academy of Complexity Theory.
