In this paper we study the consequences of the existence of sparse hard sets for NP and other complexity classes under certain types of deterministic, randomized, and nondetermini...

Abstract. Software performance prediction methods are typically validated by taking an appropriate software system, performing both performance predictions and performance measurem...
