<p>In <a href="page.php?w=computer_science">computer science</a>, <b>hardness of approximation</b> is a field  that studies the <a href="page.php?w=Computational_complexity_theory">algorithmic complexity</a> of finding near-optimal solutions to <a href="page.php?w=optimization_problem">optimization problem</a>s.</p>

<p><big>Scope</big></p>
<p>Hardness of approximation complements the study of <a href="page.php?w=approximation_algorithm">approximation algorithm</a>s by proving, for certain problems, a limit on the factors with which their solution can be</p><p>
