Step by step solution

01

To State the PSPACE

PSPACE is the collection of all decision problems that a Turing machine can answer using a polynomial space in computational complexity theory.

02

To Explain the   Nondetermininstic algorithm

The complement of EQREXcan be found in NPSPACE=PSPACE . PSPACE, on the other hand, is closed under complement. The accept and reject states can be exchanged to get the complement decider. Consequently, EQREXPSPACE

Non-determininstic algorithm to decide:

  1. If the input does not encode two NFAs A and B, reject it; otherwise, set a=|A| and b=|B|.
  2. Save a state list SQA(O(a)space), a state list TQB(O(b)space) , and a string length counter I that takes up linear space.
  3. Set S closure equal to the initial state of A and T equal to the initial state of B. then setI=0
  4. set ForI=0   to  2a+b
  5. If the final state is not contained in state A but is included in state B, or vice versa, the symbols chosen thus far form a string that distinguishes A and B. Accept.
  6. Choose a symbolσ in a nondeterministic manner.
  7. Change S to be the sSδA(s,σ)and T to be the same as S.

Therefore, TheEQREXPSPACEis showed.

Define CYCLE= {(G)| G is a directed graph that contains a directed cycle}. Show that CYCLEis NL-complete.

An undirected graph is bipartite if its nodes may be divided into two sets so that all edges go from a node in one set to a node in the other set. Show that a graph is bipartite if and only if it doesn’t contain a cycle that has an odd number of nodes. Let BIPARTITE={(G)|Gisabipartitegraph}. Show that BIPARTITE NL.

Define UPATHto be the counterpart of PATHfor undirected graphs. Show that BIPARTITE________________LUPATH. (Note: In fact, we can proveUPATHL, and thereforeBIPARTITEL, but the algorithm [62] is too difficult to present here.)

Let B be the language of properly nested parentheses and brackets. For example,is in B but []is not. Show that B is in L.

The cat-and-mouse game is played by two players, "Cat" and "Mouse," on an arbitrary undirected graph. At a given point, each player occupies a node of the graph. The players take turns moving to a node adjacent to the one that they currently occupy. A special node of the graph is called "Hole." Cat wins if the two players ever occupy the same node. Mouse wins if it reaches the Hole before the preceding happens. The game is a draw if a situation repeats (i.e., the two players simultaneously occupy positions that they simultaneously occupied previously, and it is the same player's turn to move).
HAPPY-CAT={<G,c,m,h>G,c,m,hAre respectively a graph and positions of the Cat, Mouse, and Hole, such that Cat has a winning strategy if Cat moves first}.
Show thatHAPPY-CAT is in P. (Hint: The solution is not complicated and doesn't depend on subtle details in the way the game is defined. Consider the entire game tree. It is exponentially big, but you can search it in polynomial time.)
