Re: [Q]: List of all possible reductions between NP problems

We use reductions to prove that a problem is NP-Complete by reducing a

reducing an NP-complete problem 'B' which is already known.....the two
problems will be in the same class.


Almost. We have also have to show A is in NP.


For example:

SAT<=p CNF
CNF<=p Clique

Is there a web resource that explain in detail all the possible
polynomial reductions between the different problems?


Of course not. If we could even determine the existence of a
polynomial reduction from SAT to 'not-the-empty-string', we'd
have an answer to P ?= NP.
