This course extends the basic course on computational complexity. It introduces the students to the concepts of polynomial hierarchy classes, probabilistic computation, oracle computation, non-uniform computational models and the PCP theorem.
Aim of the course -
Last update: prof. RNDr. Ondřej Čepek, Ph.D. (26.09.2020)

The aim is to learn more advanced topics from the complexity theory, complexity classes, their properties and mutual relations.

Course completion requirements -
Last update: RNDr. Petr Kučera, Ph.D. (30.04.2020)

Credit is given for solving enough homework assignments. The lecture is finished with an oral exam. Depending on the situation, it is possible that the exam can proceed remotely.

Syllabus -
Last update: T_KTI (28.04.2015)

1) Oracle Turing machines.

2) Polynomial hierarchy (definitions based on oracles and on alternating quantifiers, proof of their equivalence)

3) Quantified boolean formulas QBF and their completenes for PSPACE and Σi.

4) Nondeterministic hierarchy theorems.

5) Log-space reducibility, P-completeness and its consequences.

6) Szelepcsenyi-Immerman theorem, NL=coNL.

7) Non-uniform computational models - advice functions, boolean circuits, classes NC and P/poly, functions with

maximum circuit size.

8) Probabilistic algorithms - classes RP, coRP, ZPP, and BPP.

9) Error reduction in BPP, BPP is in P/poly, BPP is in Σ2.

10) NP-completeness of UNIQUE-SAT (probabilistic reduction)

11) PCP theorem (without proof) and its applications in inaproximability.
