Abstract

This issue's column, Part II of the article started in the preceding issue, is about progress on the question of whether NP has sparse hard sets with respect to weak reductions.Upcoming Complexity Theory Column articles include A. Werschulz on information-based complexity; J. Castro, R. Gavaldà, and D. Guijarro on what complexity theorists can learn from learning theory; S. Ravi Kumar and D. Sivakumar on a to-be-announced topic; M. Holzer and P. McKenzie on alternating stack machines; and R. Paturi on the complexity of k-SAT.
