08381 Executive Summary -- Computational Complexity of Discrete Problems

Estimating the computational complexity of discrete problems constitutes one of the central and classical topics in the theory of computation. Mathematicians and computer scientists have long tried to classify natural families of Boolean relations according to fundamental complexity measures like time and space, both in the uniform and in the nonuniform setting. Several models of computation have been developed in order to capture the various capabilities of digital computing devices, including parallelism, randomness, and quantum interference
