Abstract

Hash P functions are characterized by certain straight-line programs of multivariate polynomials. The power of this characterization is illustrated by a number of consequences. These include a somewhat simplified proof of S. Toda's (1989) theorem that PH contained in P/sup Hash P/, as well as an infinite class of potentially inequivalent checkable functions.
