Nonuniform complexity classes specified by lower and upper bounds

We characterize in terms of oracle Turing machines the classes defined by exponential lower bounds on some nonuniform complexity measures. After, we use the same methods to giue a new characterization of classes defined by polynomial and polylog upper bounds, obtaining an unified approach to deal wi...

Description
Summary:We characterize in terms of oracle Turing machines the classes defined by exponential lower bounds on some nonuniform complexity measures. After, we use the same methods to giue a new characterization of classes defined by polynomial and polylog upper bounds, obtaining an unified approach to deal with upper and lower bounds, The main measures are the initial index, the context-free cosU ond the boolean circuits size. We interpret our results by discussing a trade- off between oracle information and computed information for oracle Turing machines.
