Complexity - Space Flashcards
Do define the classes SPACE and NSPACE
What is the realtionship between the class TIME(f(n)) and the class SPACE(f(n))?
The proof is mathimatical from the number of configurations in a TM that runs on f(n) space.
Define PSPACE and NPSPACE
To what memory class does the language SAT belong? What is the idea of the proof?
Why is NP contained in PSPACE? (Intuition of the proof)
Because a language L in NP can be verified in polynomial time. Thus a TM can be built that decides L in polynomial time by running all the possible verifiers (of which there is a finite number). each verification is in polynomial time - and therefore in polynomial space. The TM reuses the same space for testing each verifier.
