โœฆ Synopsis


This paper investigates how many queries to k-membership comparable sets are needed in order to decide all (k + 1)-membership comparable sets. For k ยฟ 2 this query complexity is at least linear and at most cubic. As a corollary, we obtain that more languages are O(log n)-membership comparable than truth-table reducible to P-selective sets.

A set A is k(n) membership comparable if there is a polynomial-time computable function that, given k(n) instances of A of length at most n, excludes one of the 2 k(n) possibilities for the memberships of the given strings in A. We show that if SAT is O(log n) membership comparable, then the NP-hard
