Algorithms from complexity theory: polynomial-time operations for complex sets

Abstract: "Typically, a set is described as complex when its membership problem has no efficient solution. Many sets of central interest for data management, design of computer chips, scheduling, fault- tolerant network design, and general optimization -- such as the NP- complete sets -- are th...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "Typically, a set is described as complex when its membership problem has no efficient solution. Many sets of central interest for data management, design of computer chips, scheduling, fault- tolerant network design, and general optimization -- such as the NP- complete sets -- are thought to be complex in this sense. Though much effort has been spent accumulating evidence of the infeasibility of membership testing for these sets, less effort has been spent determining which operations can be efficiently performed on complex sets
This paper surveys recent advances in the study of the sets for which fundamental operations -- data compression and hashing, approximate membership testing, and enumeration -- can be performed efficiently. We will see that many sets traditionally viewed as complex nonetheless have efficient algorithms for these operations.
