Hi Mike, ... Hmmm, I don't think you're going to be able to prove that PSPACE is in P! The pad function can move a problem down the space hierarchy, or down ...
Hi Mike, Yes, our earlier posts crossed in the mail, so to speak, so I didn't realize that you were attempting a proof by contradiction. But I don't think...
Hi all, Let me recap the solution for problem 9.21. For reference, here are ... A proof by contradiction for 9.21 would go like this: Assume on the contrary...

Hi everyone, I'd like to make an announcement regarding the leadership of this discussion group. For some time now, I've felt that I didn't have as much time...
hi KLVE. a bit perplexed at your announcement, I personally think there is no need to be "present" or post all the time on a mailing list that you start; while...
Welcome everybody. As Kurt has mentioned, he has passed the moderation torch for comp-sci-theory to me - a responsibility I am happy to tackle. I'd like to...
This is a great introduction to the sometimes counter-intuitive world of quantum computing. A good background in mathematics (especially linear algebra) will...
The moderator stepped down, long lives the moderator! Kurt, I always appreciated this list, your idea to have such a list, your get-it-going and especially...
Folks, I am writing a paper on recognition of primes by automata. In this regard I am looking for some interesting approaches to prove that the set of primes...

hi P. unrecognizability of primes by FSMs is one of the cooler elementary proofs. hopcroft+ullman give it on p 58. they note minsky/papert but do not cite who ...
