    Statements

    The bin packing problem asks if there exists a partition of a finite set of items U into disjoint sets U_1, U_2, ..., U_k such that the sum of the sizes of the items in each U_i is B or less.

    Given a graph on n vertices and a positive integer k<=n, the chromatic number problem asks if the vertices of the graph are colorable by k distinct colors in such a way that no adjacent vertices share the same color.

    Given a graph and a positive integer k, the clique problem asks if the graph contain a clique of size greater or equal to k.

    The crossing number problem asks if a given graph has a crossing number of less than or equal to a nonnegative integer k.

    The directed Hamiltonian cycle problem asks if a given graph contains a directed Hamiltonian cycle.

    Given a graph G on n vertices and a positive integer k<=n, the domatic number problem asks if the domatic number of G at least k.

    Given a graph G on n vertices and a positive integer k<=n, the dominating set problem asks if there is a dominating set of size k or less for G.

    Given a directed graph G with arc set A of size m and a positive integer k<=m, the feedback arc problem asks if there is a subset A'⊆A with left bracketing bar A' right bracketing bar <=k such that A' contains at least one arc from every directed cycle in G.

    Given a directed graph G with vertex set V of size n and a positive integer k<=n, the feedback vertex problem asks if there is a subset V'⊆V with left bracketing bar V' right bracketing bar <=k such that V' contains at least one vertex from every directed cycle in G.

    The Hamiltonian cycle problem asks if a graph contains a Hamiltonian cycle.
