Tóm tắt

We study the computational complexity of the model checking problem for quantifier-free dependence logic $${(\mathcal{D})}$$ formulas. We characterize three thresholds in the complexity: logarithmic space (LOGSPACE), non-deterministic logarithmic space (NL) and non-deterministic polynomial time (NP).
