Non-relativizing proofs are techniques used in computational complexity theory that demonstrate the limitations of relativization, meaning they cannot be applied universally across all models of computation. These proofs often rely on specific structural properties of computational problems or techniques that do not hold in all relativized worlds. They highlight instances where relativization fails to resolve open questions, showing the need for alternative approaches to understanding complexity classes.
congrats on reading the definition of non-relativizing proofs. now let's actually learn it.
