Nonelementary problem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computational complexity theory, a nonelementary problem[1] is a problem that is not a member of the class ELEMENTARY. As a class it is sometimes denoted as NONELEMENTARY.

Examples of nonelementary problems that are nevertheless decidable include:
