Sumario:For a given set of strings, the problem of obtaining a succinct description becomes an important subject of research, related to several areas of theoretical computer science. In structural complexity theory, researchers have developed a reasonable framework for studying the complexity of these problems. In this paper, we survey how such investigation has proceeded, and explain the current status of our knowledge.
