Space Hierarchy Theorem - Statement

Statement

Formally, a function is space-constructible if and there exists a Turing machine which computes the function in space when starting with an input, where represents a string of s. Most of the common functions that we work with are space-constructible, including polynomials, exponents, and logarithms.

For every space-constructible function f:\mathbb{N} \longrightarrow
\mathbb{N}, there exists a language that is decidable in space but not in space .

Famous quotes containing the word statement:

    Truth is that concordance of an abstract statement with the ideal limit towards which endless investigation would tend to bring scientific belief, which concordance the abstract statement may possess by virtue of the confession of its inaccuracy and one-sidedness, and this confession is an essential ingredient of truth.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.
    David Jenkins (b. 1925)
