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:

    “He has the common feeling of his profession. He enjoys a statement twice as much if it appears in fine print, and anything that turns up in a footnote ... takes on the character of divine revelation.”
    —Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)

    “The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    “I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
