Abstract

We consider resource-bounded measure in double-exponential-time complexity classes. In contrast to complexity class separation translating downwards, we show that measure separation translates upwards. For example,

View the MathML source

We also show that if View the MathML source does not have e-measure 0, then the View the MathML source-machine hypothesis holds. We give oracles relative to which the converses of these statements do not hold. Therefore the hypothesis on the e-measure of View the MathML source is relativizably weaker than the often-investigated p-measure hypothesis on View the MathML source, but it has many of the same consequences.

Keywords: Resource-bounded measure; Double-exponential time; NP-machine hypothesis
