Re:Markets are efficient if and only if P=NP (2010) by LolWolf on Wednesday October 21, 2020 @11:21AM (#24848691)
It doesn’t really make sense in this case though, does it? One example is that Knapsack can be approximately solved in polynomial time for all tolerances eps (I.e., it has a Fully-polynomial time approximation scheme, or FPTAS). The EMH is only talking about essentially approximate behavior (as the paper also mentions, with repeated experiments).

Which is why this whole venture is more an exercise in pendantry rather than an actual attempt to solve np problems with markets.
