A Simple Proof of Toda's Theorem

چکیده

Toda in his celebrated paper showed that the polynomial-time hierarchy is contained in P#P. We give a short and simple proof of the first half of Toda’s Theorem that the polynomial-time hierarchy is contained in BPP⊕P. Our proof uses easy consequences of relativizable proofs of results that predate Toda. For completeness we also include a proof of the second half of Toda’s Theorem.

On Toda's Theorem in Structural Communication Complexity

We prove Toda's Theorem in the context of structural communication complexity, i.e. PH ⊆ BP · ⊕P ⊆ P(#P) = P(PP). The class PSPACE was de ned via alternating protocols with O(log n) many alternations. We consider the class BP · ⊕P of Toda's Theorem, and show that every language in this class can be decided with alternating protocols using O(log n/ log log n) many alternations. The proof is base...

On Tychonoff's type theorem via grills

‎Let ${X_{alpha}:alphainLambda}$ be a collection of topological spaces‎, ‎and $mathcal {G}_{alpha}$ be a grill on $X_{alpha}$ for each $alphainLambda$‎. ‎We consider Tychonoffrq{}s type Theorem for $X=prod_{alphainLambda}X_{alpha}$ via the above grills and a natural grill on $X$ ‎related to these grills, and present a simple proof to this theorem‎. ‎This immediately yields the classical theorem...

A new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity

To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...

Another proof of Banaschewski's surjection theorem

We present a new proof of Banaschewski's theorem stating that the completion lift of a uniform surjection is a surjection. The new procedure allows to extend the fact (and, similarly, the related theorem on closed uniform sublocales of complete uniform frames) to quasi-uniformities ("not necessarily symmetric uniformities"). Further, we show how a (regular) Cauchy point on a closed uniform subl...
