It is easy for the treatment of hard cases to be comically brief. In the Aufbau, Carnap’s treatment of value and culture get a few pages each. The following passage gives the essence of his treatment of culture:

Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes
Recall that the approximation ratio for an approximation algorithm is a measure to evaluate the approximation performance of the algorithm. The closer the ratio to 1 the better the approximation performance of the algorithm. It is notable that there is a class of NP-hard optimization problems, most originating from scheduling problems, for which there are polynomial time approximation algorithm...

متن کاملComplexity of Some Polyhedral Enumeration Problems
In this thesis we consider the problem of converting the halfspace representation of a polytope to its vertex representation — the Vertex Enumeration problem — and various other basic and closely related computational problems about polytopes. The problem of converting the vertex representation to halfspace representation — the Convex Hull problem — is equivalent to vertex enumeration. In chapt...
