Title: Lower Bounds and Derandomization
Authors: Gardezi, Jaffer
Keywords: Complexity
Derandomization
Approved Date: 26-Aug-2008
Date Submitted: 2008
Abstract: A major open problem in complexity theory is to determine whether randomized complexity classes such as BPP, AM, and MA have any nontrivial derandomization. This thesis investigates the derandomization of two randomized versions of the polynomial hierarchy.
