On the Structure of Low Sets (Survey)

Johannes Köbler

Abstract:

Over a decade ago, Schöning introduced the concept of lowness into structural complexity theory. Since then a large body of results has been obtained classifying various complexity classes according to their lowness properties. In this paper we highlight some of the more recent advances on selected topics in the area. Among the lowness properties we consider are polynomial-size circuit complexity, membership comparability, approximability, selectivity, and cheatability. Furthermore, we review some of the recent results concerning lowness for counting classes.
