چکیده

For decision problems Π(B) defined over Boolean circuits using gates from a restricted set B only, we have Π(B) ≤AC 0 m Π(B ) for all finite sets B and B of gates such that all gates from B can be computed by circuits over gates from B. In this note, we show that a weaker version of this statement holds for decision problems defined over Boolean formulae, namely that Π(B) ≤NC 2 m Π(B ∪ {∧,∨}) and Π(B) ≤NC 2 m Π(B ′ ∪ {0, 1}) for all finite sets B and B of Boolean functions such that all f ∈ B can be defined in B.

Model Checking for Modal Dependence Logic: An Approach through Post's Lattice

In this paper we investigate an extended version of modal dependence logic by allowing arbitrary Boolean connectives. Modal dependence logic was recently introduced by Jouko Väänänen by extending modal logic by a the dependence atom dep(·). In this paper we study the computational complexity of the model checking problem. For a complete classification of arbitrary Boolean functions we are using...

On the Development of Emil Post's Ideas in Structural Complexity Theory

Structural complexity theory is one of the branches of computer science. In this survey we will show how notions of a complete r.e. set and many-one reducibility from Post's 1944 paper innuenced the study of NP-complete languages in structural complexity theory.

On lattice of basic z-ideals

  For an f-ring  with bounded inversion property, we show that   , the set of all basic z-ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Also, whenever  is a semiprimitive ring, , the set of all basic -ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Next, for an f-ring  with bounded inversion property, we prove that  is a complemented...
