Computational complexity quantifies the resources, such as time and memory, required to execute an algorithm. It provides a measure of the difficulty of solving a problem algorithmically, often expressed using Big O notation to describe resource growth relative to input size. Understanding computational complexity is crucial for assessing the feasibility and efficiency of cryptographic operations and network consensus mechanisms.
Context
Within the cryptocurrency domain, discussions around computational complexity are pertinent to the design of proof-of-work algorithms, the efficiency of zero-knowledge proofs, and the scalability limitations of certain blockchain architectures. Concerns about energy consumption and transaction processing speeds are directly linked to the computational demands of these systems.
