Abstract

We show that there is a set which is almost complete but not complete under polynomial-time many-one (p-m) reductions for the class E of sets computable in deterministic time 2lin. Here a set A in a complexity class C is almost complete for C under some reducibility r if the class of the problems in C which do not r-reduce to A has measure 0 in C in the sense of Lutz's resource-bounded measure theory. We also show that the almost complete sets for E under polynomial-time bounded one-one length-increasing reductions and truth-table reductions of norm 1 coincide with the almost p-m-complete sets for E. Moreover, we obtain similar results for the class EXP of sets computable in deterministic time 2poly.
