We show that P can be captured by the axiom of inflationary inductive definitions whereas PSPACE can be captured by the axiom of non-inflationary inductive definitions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2014-01-20T17:08:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "inductive definitions", "characterising complexity classes", "style second order bounded arithmetic", "cook-nguyen style second order" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.5559E" } } }
