Abstract:

A lower bound of cNlogN is proved for the mean time complexity of an on-line multitape Turing machine performing the multiplication of N-digit binary integers. For a more general class of machines which includes some models of random-access machines, the corresponding bound is cNlogN/loglogN. These bounds compare favorably with known upper bounds of the form cN(logN) k, and for some classes the upper and lower bounds coincide. The proofs are based on the "overlap " argument due to Cook and Aanderaa. tMuch of this work was carried out at the University of Warwick with
