 Advice (complexity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An advice string is an extra input to a Turing machine which is allowed to depend on the length n of the input, but not on input itself.
P/poly is equal to the class of decision problems such that, for every n, there exists a polynomial size Boolean circuit correctly deciding the problem on all inputs of length n.
Advice classes can be defined for other resource bounds instead of P.

 THEORY CANAL: The Rochester Theory Seminar Series
This talk provides a tutorial overview of the advice complexity of the semifeasible sets---informally put, the class of sets having a polynomial-time algorithm that, given as input any two strings of which at least one belongs to the set, will choose one that does belong to the set.
We will see that for some powers of interpreter the (worst-case) complexity of the semifeasible sets is known right down to the bit (and beyond), but that for the most central power of interpreter---deterministic polynomial time---the complexity is currently known only to be at least linear and at most quadratic.
While overviewing the advice complexity of the semifeasible sets, we will stress also the issue of whether the functions at the core of semifeasibility---so-called selector functions---can without cost be chosen to possess such algebraic properties as commutativity and associativity.

 Simethics
Complexity theory holds that when entities behave in parallel with some relatively simple rules of interaction what emerges is often complex and sometimes surprising behavior.
Instead, a complexity theory simulation asks the question 'what follows from a set of rules about how each entity behaves with others when you put all these entities on a playing field?' The entities might all be playing by the same rules, or not.
For, if one believes that the advice is good and the person is likely to follow the advice then we would expect that the person be better off for having followed that advice and it should please us to find that someone we care about is better off.

 Diet Advice -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In aspect-oriented programming an advice is a piece of code executed when a join point is reached, that is associated with the pointcut of the advice.
For example, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom formally appoints Ministers of the Crown on the advice of the British Prime Minister.
For any ''n'', there must be an advice string ''A'' of length ''f(n)'' such that, for any input ''x'' of length ''n'', the machine ''M'' correctly decides the problem on the input ''x'', given ''x'' and ''A''.

For the nondeterministic advice complexity of P-sel, linear upper and lower bounds are known [Hemaspaandra and Torenvliet 1996].
However, for the deterministic advice complexity of P-sel, the best known upper bound is quadratic [Ko 1983], and the best known lower bound is the linear lower bound inherited from the nondeterministic case.

 Dieter van Melkebeek - Research on Computational Complexity Theory
Torenvliet established that large complexity classes like doubly exponential space have complete languages that are not autoreducible, whereas the complete languages of smaller classes like exponential time all share the property of autoreducibility.
The consensus within the complexity community suggests a positive answer, although an inherent exponential slowdown is not yet ruled out (the BPP versus EXP problem).
The Kolmogorov complexity of a string is the length of its shortest description; various complexity restrictions on the descriptions lead to various notions of Kolmogorov complexity.

 DP S1998R: Psychology and Diplomacy: Integrative Complexity
This variable is derived from the conceptual complexity dimension of personality...Information processing at the lower end of the scale tends to be rigid, all-or-nothing, routinized, and based upon only a small segment of the total information available.
Highly complex integration involve a relatively large number of interconnected schemata, which can be used in various combinations, modified or abandoned if that seems to be desirable, and which are subject to change as new information is sought and obtained.
In a related study, "the integrative complexity of the communications of major decision-makers [was found to be] significantly lower during crises that eventually culminate in war than during crises that are resolved peacefully." (pg.

 Compilability Classes
Advices are important in complexity theory because definitions and results are often based on special Turing machines that can determine the result of an oracle ``for free'', that is, in constant time.
Clearly, if the advice were allowed to access the whole instance, it would be able to determine the solution of any problem in constant time.
Compilability aims at capturing the on-line complexity of solving a problem composed of such inputs, i.e., complexity with respect to the second input when the first one can be preprocessed in an arbitrary way.

The concept of predictive complexity is a natural development of the theory of prediction with expert advice.
That is why predictive complexity may be regarded as a generalization of Kolmogorov complexity.
At the same time, square-loss complexity is of particular importance because the square loss function corresponds to the squared error, which is used very often in statistics.

In other words, everything efficiently quantumly computable with a polynomial amount of arbitrarily entangled quantum advice can be simulated in exponential time with a polynomial amount of classical advice.
Advice is method for encoding a different program for each input length.
Quantum advice is a bit more tricky, since it can be in a superposition of regular advice strings.

In descriptive complexity, uniform AC can be characterized as the class of problems expressible by first-order predicates with addition and multiplication operators - or indeed, with ordering and multiplication, or ordering and division (see [Lee02]).
The class of problems solvable by a BPP machine that is given O(log n) advice bits, which can depend on both the machine's random coin flips and the input length n, but not on the input itself.
The class of languages recognized by a syntactic BQP machine with deterministic polynomial advice that depends only on the input length, such that the output is correct with probability 2/3 when the advice is good.

 Managing Complexity : #3 Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Therefore I define complexity as a function of the number of possible combinations, which is some function of the number of systems I have (N - number of systems, C (N) - complexity).
Clearly if complexity is like N squared or N factorial and agility is an inverse relationship then for N greater than 10 it will be almost impossible to achieve any meaningful agility.
This is an approach to approaching complexity in IT systems and some ideas around understanding where complexity arises from.

 [cs/0501022] Algebraic Properties for Selector Functions
Abstract: The nondeterministic advice complexity of the P-selective sets is known to be exactly linear.
Regarding the deterministic advice complexity of the P-selective sets--i.e., the amount of Karp--Lipton advice needed for polynomial-time machines to recognize them in general--the best current upper bound is quadratic [Ko, 1983] and the best current lower bound is linear [Hemaspaandra and Torenvliet, 1996].
Using this, we establish an algebraic sufficient condition for the P-selective sets to have a linear upper bound (which thus would match the existing lower bound) on their deterministic advice complexity: If all P-selective sets are associatively P-selective then the deterministic advice complexity of the P-selective sets is linear.

 Junking bonds, complexity, maturity and lending money - Business - www.theage.com.au
It is possible to include high-yield investments as part of a diversified portfolio, which may have the effect of reducing overall risk while providing an opportunity to access higher interest rates.
However, if you are considering entering the heady world of high-yield investments, talk to a financial adviser to ensure you understand the complexities and risks.
Given their complexity and potential volatility, high-yield investments are best considered as part of an overall financial strategy that balances risks and considers your short and long-term goals.

 Complexity Theory Lecture Notes (summaries)
We define ``nice'' complexity bounds; these are bounds which can be computed within the resources they supposedly bound (e.g., we focus on time-constructible and space-constructible bounds).
We define space complexity using an adequate model of computation in which one is not allowed to use the area occupied by the input for computation.
We then relate this hierarchy to complexity classes discussed in previous lectures such as BPP and P/poly: We show that BPP is in PH, and that if NP subseteq P/poly then PH collapses to is second level.

 Too Much Complexity? IT Manager, Heal Thyself - News by InformationWeek
Earlier, Mills had noted that maintenance of a complex infrastructure was eating up the IT budget at many companies.
Giancarlo and Mills agreed that businesses must strive for an overall architectural approach to technology and simplify their IT environments around it Businesses often have competing groups within them, said Giancarlo, who added that each group thinks its approach to solving a problem is the right one.
Giancarlo said new complexity should be tolerated only where it yields competitive advantage, and older forms of software that have become commoditized need to reflect that by using the simplest and most standardized forms of software available.
