In computability theory, a set of functions is said to be Mučnik-reducible to another set of functions when for every function in , there exists a function in which is Turing-reducible to .[1]

Unlike most reducibility relations in computability, Mučnik reducibility is not defined between functions but between sets of such functions. These sets are called "mass problems" and can be viewed as problems with more than one solution. Informally, is Mučnik-reducible to when any solution of can be used to compute some solution of .[2]
