Über diesen Titel

Críticas

'This book by two leading theoretical computer scientists provides a comprehensive, insightful and mathematically precise overview of computational complexity theory, ranging from early foundational work to emerging areas such as quantum computation and hardness of approximation. It will serve the needs of a wide audience, ranging from experienced researchers to graduate students and ambitious undergraduates seeking an introduction to the mathematical foundations of computer science. I will keep it at my side as a useful reference for my own teaching and research.' Richard M. Karp, University of California at Berkeley

'This text is a major achievement that brings together all of the important developments in complexity theory. Student and researchers alike will find it to be an immensely useful resource.' Michael Sipser, author of Introduction to the Theory of Computation

'Computational complexity theory is at the core of theoretical computer science research. This book contains essentially all of the (many) exciting developments of the last two decades, with high level intuition and detailed technical proofs. It is a must for everyone interested in this field.' Avi Wigderson, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
