The existence of NP-intermediate problems refers to the category of decision problems that are neither in P (problems solvable in polynomial time) nor NP-complete (the hardest problems in NP), assuming P is not equal to NP. These problems lie strictly between the two classes, representing a unique and significant area within computational complexity theory, which illustrates the nuanced landscape of problem difficulty in relation to polynomial-time solvability.
congrats on reading the definition of Existence of NP-Intermediate Problems. now let's actually learn it.
