The oracle separations proven by Baker, Gill, and Solovay [2] initiated the study of complexity classes by relativization. Since that work, various relativization models for nondeterministic logspace have been introduced [13, 19, 16, 18]. Ladner and Lynch [13] and I. Simon [19] studied the models that allow oracle machines to make nondeterministic moves while generating query strings and to generate polynomially long query strings. Unfortunately, their models produce some counterintuitive results. With NL as the oracle, NL becomes NP while P remains P. ...

Hartmanis (1978) conjectured that there exist no sparse complete sets for P under logspace many-one reductions. In this paper, in support of the conjecture, it is shown that if P has sparse hard sets under logspace many-one reductions, then P⊆ DSPACE [log 2 n]. The result follows from a more general statement: if P has 2 polylog sparse hard sets under poly-logarithmic space-computable many-one reductions, then P⊆ DSPACE [polylog]

The area is motivated by the desire to clarify relationships between completeness/hardness and density of languages and studies the existence of sparse complete/hard sets for various complexity classes under various reducibilities. Very recently, we have seen remarkable progress in this area for low-level complexity classes. In particular, the Hartmanis' sparseness conjectures for P and NL have been resolved. This article overviews the ...

It is shown that the algorithm can be implemented with space complexity O ((2− 2/k) n) and time complexity O (kmn+ n 3), where n is the number of variables and m the number of clauses. Besides, borrowing ideas from the above mentioned implementation, it is presented an implementation of resolution, a widely studied and used proof system, mainly in the fields of Proof Complexity and Automated Theorem Proving.

Sci., 386 (1-2): 132–150, 2007), time complexity for splicing systems has been introduced. This paper further explores the time complexity for splicing systems and in addition defines a notion of space complexity, which is based on the description size of the production tree of a word. It is then shown that all languages accepted by t (n) space-bounded nondeterministic Turing machines can be generated by extended splicing systems with a regular set of rules in time O (t (n) 2). ...
