Abstract

Let R @@@@ NP be the collection of languages L such that for some polynomial time computable predicate P(x,y) and constant k, L &equil; {x|@@@@y, |y|&equil;|x|k,P(x,y)} &equil; {x|@@@@ at least 2|x|k−1 values of y, |y|&equil;|x|k,P(x,y)}. Let U @@@@ NP be the collection of languages L such that for some polynomial time computable predicate P(x,y) and constant k, L &equil; {x|@@@@y,|y|&equil;|x|k,P(x,y)}&equil; {x|@@@@ unique y, |y|&equil;|x|k,p(x,y)}. Let RA,UA, PA,NPA,CO-NPA be the relativization of these classes with respect to an oracle A as in [ 5 ]. Then for some oracle E (NPE @@@@ CO-NPE) &equil; UE &equil; RE &equil; PE @@@@ NPE while for some other oracle D CO-NPD &equil; NPD &equil; UD &equil; RD @@@@ PD.
