== Computational complexity ==
The problem is [[NP-hard]], so there is no known [[algorithm]] for solving this problem in [[Time complexity|polynomial time]], and even small instances may require long computation time. It was also proven that the problem does not have an approximation algorithm running in polynomial time for any (constant) factor, unless P = NP.<ref>{{Cite journal|title = P-Complete Approximation Problems
