Hi, I'm reading a proof of Toda'a theorem about PH <= P^#P, and they use in it a reduction from QBFk to a circuit in AC0 without any explanations. Can anyone...

Hello, For some strange reason I found a way to Prove that P=NP, please find my mistake: Following the PCP theorem we know that NP=PCP(O(log n),O(1)), now I'll...

Hello again, Does anyone know how I can prove that space(O(n^(log n))) is not a subset of BPP? i.e find a language in space(O(n^(log n))) that is not in BPP. I...
... Good night, I think we may use the space hierarchy theorem to conclude that PSPACE is a proper subset of SPACE(O(n^log n)). We then observe that BPP is a...

Hi people (i'm new here) This is a question I encountered in our homework, and I have not been able to solve: Assuming coNP != NP (of course this also means P...

Hi Kurt, I think the claim is false: Let us use alphabet E = {0,1} Let A be SAT, and let: 0A = {0x | x in SAT } 1A = {1x | x in SAT } Thus A' = 0A u 1E* is...

Hello, ... What leads you to this conclusion? Take, for example: p=3, q=5, n=15, e=3, d=3, and m=2. Then, c=8 and the modular inverse of c is 2. m * (modular ...
Oops! My mistake; I typed the wrong equation. I know the attacker has many pairs of (m, c), but my question is more correctly this: The discrete log problem...
