The focus of this book is the P-versus-NP Question and the theory of NP-completeness. It also provides adequate preliminaries regarding computational problems and computational models. The P-versus-NP Question asks whether or not finding solutions is harder than checking the correctness of solutions. An alternative formulation asks whether or not discovering proofs is harder than verifying their correctness. It is widely believed that the answer to these equivalent formulations is positive, and this is captured by saying that P is different from NP. Although the P-versus-NP Question remains u

Boolean algebras have historically played a special role in the development of the theory of general or "universal" algebraic systems, providing important links between algebra and analysis, set theory, mathematical logic, and computer science. It is not surprising then that focusing on specific properties of Boolean algebras has lead to new directions in universal algebra.In the first unified study of polynomial completeness, Polynomial Completeness in Algebraic Systems focuses on and systematically extends another specific property of Boolean algebras: the property of affine completeness.

The theory of NP-completeness is a cornerstone of computational complexity. This monograph provides a thorough and comprehensive treatment of this concept in the framework of algebraic complexity theory. Many of the results presented are new and published for the first time. Topics include: complete treatment of Valiant’s algebraic theory of NP-completeness, interrelations with the classical theory as well as the Blum-Shub-Smale model of computation, questions of structural complexity, fast evaluation of representations of general linear groups, and complexity of immanants. The book can

This book is based on the author’s Ph.D. thesis which was selected as the winning thesis of the 1999 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Competition. Dieter van Melkebeek did his Ph.D. work at the University of Chicago with Lance Fortnow as thesis advisor. This work studies some central issues in computational complexity: the relative power of time, space, and randomness in computing and verification. The author develops techniques for separating complexity classes by isolating structural differences between their complete problems. He presents several approaches based on such diverse concepts as

This tract presents an exposition of methods for testing sets of special functions for completeness and basis properties, mostly in L2 and L2 spaces. The first chapter contains the theoretical background to the subject, largely in a general Hilbert space setting, and theorems in which the structure of Hilbert space is revealed by properties of its bases are dealt with. Later parts of the book deal with methods: for example, the Vitali criterion, together with its generalisations and applications, is discussed in some detail, and there is an introduction to the theory of stability of bases.
