Attempts at classifying computational problems as polynomial time solvable, NP-complete, or belonging to a higher level in the polynomial hierarchy, face the difficulty of undecid...
lem of inferring termination from such abstract information is not the halting problem for programs and may well be decidable. If this is the case, the decision algorithm forms a &...
