Abstract:

For any operator on integer-valued functions, we say that #P is closed under in context PFffi#P if, for every f 2 #P, [f] belongs to PF ffi #P. For several operators , it is shown that the closure properties of #P under in the above sense is closely related to the relationships between P #P[1] and higher classes such as PH PP and PP PP
