Complexity Measure




Importantly, the Speedup and Gap theorems hold for any complexity measure satisfying these axioms. The most well-known measures satisfying these axioms are those of time (i.e., running time) and space (i.e., memory usage).


DEFINITIONS


A Blum complexity measure is a tuple ( arphi, \Phi) with arphi a Gödel Numbering of the Partial Computable Function s \mathbf{P}^{(1)} and a computable function
:\Phi: \mathbb{N} o \mathbf{P}^{(1)}
which satisfies the following Blum axioms. We write arphi_i for the ''i''-th Partial Computable Function under the Gödel numbering arphi, and \Phi_i for the partial computable function \Phi(i).
  • the Domain of arphi_i and the domain of \Phi_i is identical.

  :<math>C(f) : \{ arphi_i \in \mathbf{P}^{(1)} orall x \Phi_i(x) \leq f(x) \}</math>
  :<math>C^0(f) : \{ h \in C(f) \mathrm{codom}(h) \subseteq \{0,1\} \}</math>
