The Chinese Postman problem (CPP) relates to a graph G with vertices V and edges E. The graph G should be finite, undirected, and connected. The edges are often assigned a finite real-valued weight that is not negative. The Chinese Postman Problem has been proven to be reducible in polynomial time, in constrast to the Mixed Chinese Postman Problem (MCPP) which is NP complete.[1]

The CPP forms the basis of the field of arc routing compared to more complex cases including the MCPP, the directed chinese postman problem DCPP, the windy postman problem WPP, the rural postman problem RPP, and the hierarchical chinese postman problem HCPP.[2]
