From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  feasible
       
           A description of an {algorithm} that takes
          {polynomial} time (that is, for a problem set of size N, the
          resources required to solve the problem can be expressed as
          some polynomial involving N).
       
          Problems that are "feasible" are said to be "in P" where P is
          polynomial time.  Problems that are "possible" but not
          "feasible" are said to be "in NP".
