A Note on the Advice Complexity of Multipass Randomized Logspace

Authors: Peter Dixon, Debasis Mandal, A. Pavan, and N. V. Vinodchandran

Abstract
Investigating the complexity of randomized space-bounded machines that are allowed to make multiple passes over the random tape has been of recent interest. In particular, it has been shown that derandomizing such probabilistic machines yields a weak but new derandomization of probabilistic time-bounded classes. In this paper we further explore the complexity of such machines. In particular, as our main result we show that for any epsilon<1, every language that is accepted by an O(n^epsilon)-pass, randomized logspace machine can be simulated in deterministic logspace with linear amount of advice. This result extends an earlier result of Fortnow and Klivans who showed that RL is in deterministic logspace with linear advice.

Separating Cook Completeness from Karp-Levin Completeness Under a Worst-Case Hardness Hypothesis

Authors: Debasis Mandal, A. Pavan, and Rajeswari Venugopalan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 29, 34th International Conference on Foundation of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2014)


Abstract
We show that there is a language that is Turing complete for NP but not many-one complete for NP, under a worst-case hardness hypothesis. Our hypothesis asserts the existence of a non-deterministic, double-exponential time machine that runs in time O(2^2^n^c) (for some c > 1) accepting Sigma^* whose accepting computations cannot be computed by bounded-error, probabilistic machines running in time O(2^2^{beta * 2^n^c) (for some beta > 0). This is the first result that separates completeness notions for NP under a worst-case hardness hypothesis.
