Theories of Computational Complexity - Volume 35

This volume presents four machine-independent theories of computational complexity, which have been chosen for their intrinsic importance and practical relevance.

The book includes a wealth of results - classical, recent, and others which have not been published before.In developing the mathematics underlying the size, dynamic and structural complexity measures, various connections with mathematical logic, constructive topology, probability and programming theories are established.

The facts are presented in detail. Extensive examples are provided, to help clarify notions and constructions.

The lists of exercises and problems include routine exercises, interesting results, as well as some open problems.
