Abstract

Solving parity games is an algorithmic problem which is polynomial-time equivalent to the modal mu-calculus model checking problem [5], and hence of fundamental importance for the automated verification of computational systems [8]. Establishing its exact computational complexity is an intriguing long-standing open problem. The problem is known to be in UP (unambiguous NP) and co- UP [9], but no polynomial time algorithm or complexity-theoretic evidence of hardness have been found, since almost two decades ago when its membership to NP and co-NP was exhibited [5].
