How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T21088258 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
3-SAT
3-SAT is a classic Boolean satisfiability problem where each clause has exactly three literals and which serves as a fundamental NP-complete benchmark in computational complexity theory.
-
B.
Clique problem
The Clique problem is a classic NP-complete decision problem in graph theory that asks whether a graph contains a fully connected subgraph (clique) of at least a given size.
-
C.
Max-3-SAT
Max-3-SAT is an optimization variant of the Boolean satisfiability problem where the goal is to maximize the number of satisfied clauses, each containing exactly three literals, and it serves as a central problem in the study of approximation algorithms and hardness of approximation.
-
D.
A Combinatorial Problem
"A Combinatorial Problem" is a classic mathematical paper by N. G. de Bruijn that introduces and analyzes a fundamental counting problem in combinatorics.
-
E.
Happy Ending problem
The Happy Ending problem is a famous combinatorial geometry question that investigates the minimum number of points in general position in the plane needed to guarantee the existence of a convex polygon with a given number of vertices.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
