....paper) used for any term is the space cost. This metric can be realized (with polynomial slowdown for time, and constant expansion for space) on a Turing machine. More surprisingly, an arbitrary Turing machine can be simulated efficiently, using your favorite coding [FS91] essentially gives one; [HM94] gives another. The explanation of the efficiency of the simulation is simple: the simulation does not depend in any profound way on sharing. In an attempt to define a more parsimonious cost model, Frandsen and Sturtivant [FS91] proposed the following: the cost of a reduction to normal form is the ....
