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:

    “Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “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)
