Understanding Intractability: Definition and Examples

Intractable refers to a problem that cannot be solved or resolved because it is too complex, difficult, or intricate. It is often used to describe problems that are inherently difficult to solve, such as the halting problem in computer science, or problems that have no known solution, such as the Riemann Hypothesis in mathematics. In general, a problem is considered intractable if it cannot be solved within a reasonable amount of time or with available resources.
