A generalization of Lutz's measure to probabilistic classes
نویسنده
چکیده
We extend Lutz's measure to probabilistic classes, and obtain notions of measure on probabilistic complexity classes C such as BPP, BPE and BPEXP. Unlike former attempts, all our measure notions satisfy all three Lutz's measure axioms, that is every singleton fLg has measure zero in C, the whole space C has measure one in C, and "easy innnite unions" of measure zero sets have measure zero. Finally we prove a conditional time hierarchy theorem for probabilistic classes, and show that under the same assumption, both the class of p T-autoreducible sets and the class of p T-complete sets for EXP have measure zero in BPE.

A Generalization of Resource-Bounded Measure, With an Application (Extended Abstract)
We introduce resource-bounded betting games, and propose a generalization of Lutz's resource-bounded measure in which the choice of next string to bet on is fully adaptive. Lutz's martingales are equivalent to betting games constrained to bet on strings in lexicographic order. We show that if strong pseudo-random number generators exist, then betting games are equivalent to martingales, for mea...

متن کاملMeasure on Small Complexity Classes, with Applications for BPP
We present a notion of resource-bounded measure for P and other subexponential-time classes. This generalization is based on Lutz's notion of measure, but overcomes the limitations that cause Lutz's de nitions to apply only to classes at least as large as E. We present many of the basic properties of this measure, and use it to explore the class of sets that are hard for BPP. Bennett and Gill s...
متن کاملTotally probabilistic Lp spaces
In this paper, we introduce the notion of probabilistic valued measures as a generalization of non-negative measures and construct the corresponding Lp spaces, for distributions p > "0. It is alsoshown that if the distribution p satises p "1 then, as in the classical case, these spaces are completeprobabilistic normed spaces.
متن کاملNotions of Resource-bounded Category and Genericity Preliminary Report
Generic sets, like random sets, have proved useful in providing a coherent picture of relativized computation. Unfortunately, they are not decidable. Lutz Lut87, Lut89, Lut90] has studied the notions of resource-bounded measure and category, and has shown that there are decidable sets similar to generic sets (\pseudogeneric sets") which are of reasonably low complexity. Lutz's original deenitio...
