Abstract: this paper we show that nondeterministic space s(n) is closed under complementation, for s(n) greater than or equal to log n. It immediately follows that the context-sensitive languages are closed under complementation, thus settling a question raised by Kuroda in 1964 [9]. See Hartmanis and Hunt [4] for a discussion of the history and importance of this problem, and Hopcroft and Ullman [5] for all relevant background material and definitions. The history behind the proof is as follows. In 1981 ... (Update)
