Fast Quantifier Elimination Means P = NP

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 3988))

Abstract

The first part is a survey of Poizat’s theory about fast elimination of quantifiers and the P = NP question according to the unit-cost model of computation, as developed along the book [7]. The second part is a survey of the structure with fast elimination constructed by the author in [9].
