From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   NP-complete
  
      (NPC, Nondeterministic Polynomial time complete)
      A set or property of computational {decision problem}s which
      is a subset of {NP} (i.e. can be solved by a
      {nondeterministic} {Turing Machine} in {polynomial} time),
      with the additional property that it is also {NP-hard}.   Thus
      a solution for one NP-complete problem would solve all
      problems in NP.   Many (but not all) naturally arising problems
      in class NP are in fact NP-complete.
  
      There is always a {polynomial-time algorithm} for transforming
      an instance of any NP-complete problem into an instance of any
      other NP-complete problem.   So if you could solve one you
      could solve any other by transforming it to the solved one.
  
      The first problem ever shown to be NP-complete was the
      {satisfiability problem}.   Another example is {Hamilton's
      problem}.
  
      See also {computational complexity}, {halting problem},
      {Co-NP}, {NP-hard}.
