Computational Complexity

ABOUT THE COURSE : This course is an introduction to the area of computational complexity theory. We will see different models of computations and computational complexity classes. The computational models measure various different aspects of computation, like time, space, randomness, number of gates, amount of communication etc. The complexity classes classify different computational problems depending on their easiness or hardness as per these different models. We will also see how these complexity classes are related to each other. Many of the results are extremely interesting and use several interesting ideas. INTENDED AUDIENCE : Students of Computer Science discipline. This could be BTech students who are interested in Theory or MTech/PhD students. PREREQUISITES : Theory of Computation.
