In computational complexity theory, the Cook – Levin theorem, also known as Cook's theorem, states that the Boolean satisfiability problem is NP-complete.

The theorem is named after Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin.

The figures most closely identified with it are Peter Cook, John Bird, John Fortune, David Frost, Bernard Levin and Richard Ingrams.

SAT was the first known NP-complete problem, as proved by Stephen Cook in 1971 ( see Cook's theorem for the proof ).

It was introduced in 1971 by Stephen Cook in his seminal paper " The complexity of theorem proving procedures " and is considered by many to be the most important open problem in the field.

The time hierarchy theorem for nondeterministic Turing machines was originally proven by Stephen Cook in 1972.

In the US in 1971, Stephen Cook published his paper " The complexity of theorem proving procedures " in conference proceedings of the newly founded ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing.

Non-members are: Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Bhutan, North Korea, Micronesia, Nauru, Tonga, Cook Islands, Niue, Vatican City and the states with limited recognition.

Non-members of UPU are Andorra, Cook Islands, Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Niue, Palau and the rest of the states with limited recognition.

, the WHO has 194 member states, including the Cook Islands and Niue.

Many fast food operations have more local and regional roots, such as White Castle in the Midwest United States, along with Hardee's ( owned by CKE Restaurants, which also owns Carl's Jr., whose locations are primarily on the United States West Coast ); Krystal, Bojangles ' Famous Chicken ' n Biscuits, Cook Out, and Zaxby's restaurants in the American Southeast ; Raising Cane's in Louisiana ; Hot ' n Now in Michigan and Wisconsin ; In-N-Out Burger ( in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Texas ) and Original Tommy's chains in Southern California ; Dick's Drive-In in Seattle, Washington and Arctic Circle in Utah and other western states ; Halo Burger around Flint, Michigan and Burgerville in the Portland, Oregon area.

As of July 2008, 106 countries are states parties ( with Suriname and Cook Islands set to join in October 2008 ), and a further 40 countries have signed but not yet ratified the treaty.

Cook County's population is larger than that of 29 individual US states and the combined populations of the seven smallest states.

There are two kinds of associated states: in case of Micronesia, association is concluded by treaty between two sovereign states ; in case of Cook Islands and Niue, association is concluded by domestic legal arrangements.

Today the Realm of New Zealand comprises New Zealand, Tokelau and the Ross Dependency, and the self-governing states of the Cook Islands and Niue.

28 ), author Andrew Cook states that Reilly was born on 24 March 1873, in the Jewish Kherson gubernia of Tsarist Russia, as Salomon ( Shlomo ) Rosenblum, and later that " Sidney Reilly " was the illegitimate son of Polina ( or " Perla "), his acknowledged mother, and Dr. Mikhail Abramovich Rosenblum, the trusted first cousin of Reilly's putative father, Grigory ( Hersh ) Rosenblum.

Cook states that the arrival of Sigmund Rosenblum in London in December 1895 was via France, and prompted by Rosenblum's unscrupulous acquisition of a large sum of money in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, a residential suburb of Paris, necessitating a hasty flight.

If one states " I love ice cream ," and another person responds " I have a friend named Brad Cook ," then these statements are not relevant.

However, if one states " I love ice cream ," and another person responds " I have a friend named Brad Cook who also likes ice cream ," this statement now becomes relevant because it relates to the first person's idea.

Cook even named Cape Flattery ( at the northwest tip of modern Washington state ) which is at the mouth of the strait, and instead stopped in Nootka Sound just off the west coast of Vancouver Island at about 49 ° N. His account states " we saw nothing like Strait of Juan de Fuca ; nor is there the least probability that ever any such thing existed.

A conference of the neighboring states ( Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Nauru, Samoa, and territory of Cook Islands ) met on 24 February 1972 at which Tonga made a claim over the Minerva Reefs and the rest of the states recognized its claim.

These include 182 out of 192 United Nations member states not Equatorial Guinea, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Timor-Leste and Tuvalu, and the European Union and the Cook Islands.

The Realm of New Zealand consists of New Zealand proper and two states in free association, Niue and the Cook Islands.

This would not be a legal hurdle to a New Zealand republic, and both the Cook Islands and Niue would retain their status as associated states with New Zealand, as New Zealand shares its Head of state with the Cook Islands and Niue in the same way the United Kingdom shares its head of state with the other Commonwealth realms.

A tradition in the Coke family of Trusley, Derbyshire, states that the founder of it was one Cook or Coke, who was employed in the service of Henry de Ferrars, Superintendent of William the Conqueror's horse armourers and farriers.
