Everything about Set splitting problem

In computational complexity theory, the set splitting problem is the following decision problem: given a family F of subsets of a finite set S, decide whether there exists a partition of S into two subsets S1, S2 such that all elements of F are split by this partition, i.e., none of the elements of F is completely in S1 or S2. Set Splitting is one of Garey & Johnson's classical NP-complete problems. The problem is sometimes called hypergraph 2-colorability. Wikipedia →
