Polynomial time bounded truth-table reducibilities to padded sets
We study bounded truth-table reducibilities to sets of small information content called padded (a set is in the class of all -padded sets, if it is a subset of ). This is a continuation of the research of reducibilities to sparse and tally sets that were studied in many previous papers (for a good survey see [HOW1]). We show necessary and sufficient conditions to collapse and separate classes of bounded truth-table reducibilities to padded sets. We prove that depending on two properties of a...
