TLDR
There are two main results proved here that state that a certain set SP of strings (those coding ''solvable path systems'') has tape complexity (log n)^2 iff every set in (i.e., of deterministic polynomial time complexity) has Tape complexity ( log n,^2).

Parallel algorithms for shared-memory machines

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss parallel algorithms for shared-memory machines and discuss the theoretical foundations of parallel algorithms and parallel architectures, and present a theoretical analysis of the appropriate logical organization of a massively parallel computer.
Book ChapterDOI

A catalog of complexity classes

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the concepts needed for defining the complexity classes, a set of problems of related resource-based complexity that can be solved by an abstract machine M using O(f(n) of resource R, where n is the size of the input.

The complexity of theorem-proving procedures

TL;DR: It is shown that any recognition problem solved by a polynomial time-bounded nondeterministic Turing machine can be “reduced” to the problem of determining whether a given propositional formula is a tautology.

Formal Languages and Their Relation to Automata

TL;DR: The theory of formal languages as a coherent theory is presented and its relationship to automata theory is made explicit, including the Turing machine and certain advanced topics in language theory.

Characterizations of Pushdown Machines in Terms of Time-Bounded Computers

TL;DR: A class of machines called auxiliary pushdown machines is introduced, characterized in terms of time-bounded Turing machines, and corollaries are derived which answer some open questions in the field.

Memory bounds for recognition of context-free and context-sensitive languages

TL;DR: The computational complexity of binary sequences as measured by the rapidity of their generation by multitape Turing machines is investigated and a "translational" method which escapes some of the limitations of earlier approaches leads to a refinement of the established hierarchy.

Comparative schematology

TL;DR: The notion of universal programming languages was introduced in this article, where it was shown that a simple language with some basic arithmetic can express programs for any partial recursive function and that such an encoding is usually quite unnatural and impossibly inefficient.
