Abstract

The Orbit problemis defined as follows: Given a matrix A茂戮驴茂戮驴n×nand vectors x,y茂戮驴 茂戮驴n, does there exist a non-negative integer isuch that Aix= y. This problem was shown to be in deterministic polynomial time by Kannan and Lipton in [7]. In this paper we put the problem in the logspace counting hierarchy GapLH. We also show that the problem is hard for C=L.
