Added convexity assumption for flip distance (otherwise the problem is NPC, even APX-Hard, see A. Pilz "Flip distance between triangulations of a planar point set is APX-hard")

Aug 9, 2011 at 20:44 comment added Joshua Grochow @Timothy Chow: The example above assuming $NEXP \neq EXP$ is provably intermediate, that is, assuming $NEXP \neq EXP$, the padded version of a $NEXP$-complete problem is provably neither $NP$-complete by Mahaney nor in $P$, as that would contradict $NEXP \neq EXP$.

Aug 8, 2011 at 22:18 comment added Kaveh @Lev, maybe you should edit the question to include Timothy's comments since it is less likely that people will see it here.
Jun 30, 2011 at 19:59 comment added Jeff KInne @Timothy Chow, @Lev Reyzin. Graph isomorphism is not NP-complete unless $\Sigma_2^p = \Pi_2^p$, because graph non-isomorphism is in AM, and coNP in AM implies $\Sigma_2^p = \Pi_2^p$. This would work for other problems whose complements are in AM. This of course does not rule out GI being in P.
Jun 27, 2011 at 13:38 comment added Lev Reyzin @Timothy Chow, that's a good question, and it would be useful information to have in this list. Anyhow who knows should feel free to edit this answer with the relevant details.
Jun 25, 2011 at 17:57 comment added Timothy Chow Are any of these examples provably NP-intermediate, assuming only some "reasonable" hypothesis (i.e., a hypothesis less trivial than "this problem is NP-intermediate")? If so, it would be interesting to mention that in this list.

Feb 24, 2011 at 21:50 comment added Bob Fraser I'm removing Planar MAX 2-SAT from the list, it was shown to be NP-complete by Guibas et al. in "Approximating polygons and subdivisions with minimum link paths" (springerlink.com/content/y234m35416w043v1)

Aug 24, 2010 at 22:06 comment added Lev Reyzin @Jukka Sounds good. I'll try to keep the list updated.
Aug 24, 2010 at 9:46 comment added Jukka Suomela @Lev: This is perfect if you keep the summary updated. Then we can upvote this and it'll stay near the top.
Aug 19, 2010 at 4:08 comment added Lev Reyzin I made this the "accepted answer" as it combines all of the answers herein. Making this answer a part of the question seems strange, but I don't object to doing that... I know it's kinda weird for me to make "my" answer the accepted one. I welcome opinions on whether I should change it.
