The Complexity of Unions of Disjoint Sets

This paper is motivated by the open question
whether the union of two disjoint NP-complete sets always is
NP-complete. We discover that such unions retain
much of the complexity of their single components. More precisely,
they are complete with respect to more general reducibilities.

A Reducibility that Corresponds to Unbalanced Leaf-Language Classes

We introduce the polynomial-time tree reducibility
(ptt-reducibility). Our main result states that for
languages $B$ and $C$ it holds that
$B$ ptt-reduces to $C$ if and only if
the unbalanced leaf-language class of $B$ is robustly contained in
the unbalanced leaf-language class of $C$.

Generation Problems

Given a fixed computable binary operation f, we study the complexity of the following generation problem: The input consists of strings a1,...,an,b. The question is whether b is in the closure of {a1,...,an} under operation f.

For several subclasses of operations we prove tight upper and lower bounds for the ... more >>>

Characterizing Small Depth and Small Space Classes by Operators of Higher Types

Motivated by the question of how to define an analog of interactive
proofs in the setting of logarithmic time- and space-bounded
computation, we study complexity classes defined in terms of
operators quantifying over oracles. We obtain new
characterizations of $\NCe$, $\L$, $\NL$, $\NP$, ... more >>>

Probabilistic Type-2 Operators and ``Almost''-Classes


We define and examine several probabilistic operators ranging over sets
(i.e., operators of type 2), among them the formerly studied
ALMOST-operator. We compare their power and prove that they all coincide
for a wide variety of classes. As a consequence, we characterize the
ALMOST-operator which ranges over infinite objects ... more >>>
