Simple Reductions<br />

Since they can be used either to prove hardness or to give efficient algorithms, reductions are powerful<br />

tools for the algorithm designer to be familiar with. <strong>The</strong> best way to understand reductions is to look at<br />

some simple ones.<br />

● Hamiltonian Cycles<br />

● Independent Set and Vertex Cover<br />

● Clique and Independent Set<br />
