The complexity of facets (and some facets of complexity). (English) Zbl 0571.68028

The authors introduce a certain complexity class \(D^ P\) connected with combinatorial optimization problems and in particular with the facets of polytopes. \(D^ P\) is the class of all languages that are the intersection of a language in NP and a language in coNP.
