May 23, 2016 at 17:13 comment added Sarvottamananda Gary & Johnson use different definition for NP, but they use simple proof (just a mention) to show that $P \subseteq NP$, basically ignore the guess string. The certificate definition is used in Arora and Barak, they also use simple proof (just a hint) for $P \subseteq NP$, which basically ignores the certificate. Hopcroft an Ullman use different definition for NP, and they ignore non-determinism to prove $P \subseteq NP$ (just a mention in the text, that it can be done).
