DLOGTIME

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DLOGTIME is the complexity class of all computational problems solvable in a logarithmic amount of computation time on a deterministic Turing machine. It is the smallest nontrivial class using the resource of deterministic time.[citation needed] It must be defined on a random-access Turing machine, since otherwise the machine does not have time to read the entire input tape.

DLOGTIME-uniformity is important in circuit complexity.

The problem of testing the length of the input string can be solved in DLOGTIME, by binary searching for possible input sizes.
