LOGSPACE, Random Walks on Graphs, and Universal Traversal Sequences,There is a surprising, at first glance unexpected, difference in (space) complexity between the problems of finding a path from a start node to an end node in a directed graph and of doing so in an undirected graph. In an undirected graph this is easier to solve; in fact, in can be done using a random walk or a universal traversal sequence.

Spectral Problems and Descriptive Complexity Theory,This chapter begins with a question from predicate logic, namely to determine the set of all (sizes of) finite models of a given formula. It turns out that there is an amazingly close relationship between this question and the world of P and NP.

Lower Bounds for the Parity Function,In their pioneering work of 1984, Furst, Saxe and Sipser introduced the method of “random restrictions” to achieve lower bounds for circuits: The parity function cannot be computed by an AND-OR circuit of polynomial size and constant depth.

The Berman-Hartmanis Conjecture and Sparse Sets,If all NP-complete languages were P-isomorphic to each other, then it would follow that P ≠ NP. This “Isomorphism Conjecture” has been the starting point of much research, in particular into sparse sets and their potential to be NP-complete.
