In [1], we showed that this inefficiency is an inherent property of the problem by showing that the problem of membership in any arbitrary context-sensitive language was easily reducible to the equivalence problem for regular expressions. We also showed that with a squaring abbreviation ( writing (E)2 for E×E) the equivalence problem for expressions required computing space exponential in the size of the expressions. In this paper we consider a number of similar decidable word problems from automata theory and logic whose inherent computational complexity can be precisely characterized in terms of time or space requirements on deterministic or nondeterministic Turing machines. The definitions of the word problems and a table summarizing their complexity appears in the next section. More detailed comments and an outline of some of the proofs follows in the remaining sections. Complete proofs will appear in the forthcoming papers [9, 10, 13]. In the final section we describe some open problems.","PeriodicalId":242946,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121269829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, many variants of the problem have been considered; depending on two factors: (1) the particular model for registers, and (2) the definition of the term “computation of a program” e.g. whether values may be computed more than once. We will show that several variants of the register allocation problem for straight line programs are polynomial complete. In particular we consider, (1) the case when each value is computed exactly once, and (2) the case when values may be recomputed as necessary. The completeness of the third problem considered is surprising. A straight line program starts with a set of initial values, and computes intermediate and final values. Suppose, for each value, the register that value must be computed into is preassigned. Then, (3) the problem of determining if there is a computation of the straight line program, that computes values into the assigned registers, is polynomial complete.","PeriodicalId":242946,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133205680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This semigroup is finite if and only if the set A is recognizable (by a finite automaton). The semigroup SA can then easily be described using the minimal automaton of A. It is reasonable to expect that reasonable properties of the recognizable set A will be reflected by reasonable properties of the finite semigroups SA and vice-versa. In trying to establish such a dialog, one is handicapped by the fact that there are finite semigroups which are not syntactic monoids of any set. The objective of this note is to state a theorem showing that the above inconvenience disappears if one considers classes of sets (rather than individual sets) and classes of semigroups.","PeriodicalId":242946,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129349294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that any sequence of O(n) instructions can be processed “on line” in O(n log n) steps on a random access computer. If we can accept our answer “off-line”, that is, no answers need to be produced until the entire sequence of instructions has been seen seen, then we may perform the task in O(n G(n)) steps, where G(n) is the number of times we must apply log2 to n to obtain a number less than or equal to zero. A third algorithm solves a problem of intermediate complexity. We require the answers on line, but we suppose that all tree merging instructions precede the information requests. This algorithm requires O(n log log n) time. We apply the first on line algorithm to a problem in code optimization, that of computing immediate dominators in a reducible flow graph. We show how this computation can be performed in O(n log n) steps.","PeriodicalId":242946,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129976038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory of computation developped in Scott [4] provides the framework of our study.

We then describe an implementation of recursion which is both correct and optimal in a general class of sequential languages, and therefore constitutes an attractive alternative to both “call-by-name” and “call-by-value”.","PeriodicalId":242946,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1973-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127942025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
