We prove the following theorem in this paper: For any real numbers rl, r2, 1 ~ rl ~ r2, there is a set .4 of strings which has nondeterministic time complexity n\*2, but not nondeterministic time complexity n\*l. The computing devices are nondeterministic multitape Turing machines.
The amount of storage needed to simulate a nondeterministic tape bounded Turing machine on a deterministic Turing machine is investigated. Results include the following: Theorem. A nondeterministic L(n)-tape bounded Turing machine can be simulated by a deterministic [L(n)]2-tape bounded Turing machi
