Abstract

We propose a new complexity measure of space for the BSS model of computation. We define LOGSPACEW and PSPACEW complexity classes over the reals. We prove that LOGSPACEW is included in ${\sf NC}^2_{\mathbb{R}} \cap {\sf P}_W$, i.e. is small enough for being relevant. We prove that the Real Circuit Decision Problem is Pℝ-complete under LOGSPACEW reductions, i.e. that LOGSPACEW is large enough for containing natural algorithms. We also prove that PSPACEW is included in PARℝ.
