COMPLEXITY THEORY & ALGORITHMS

 
Complexity theory is the study of the power and limits of computation. Within complexity theory Goldwasser’s research centers on the study of probabilistic proof systems and their applications, and the power of probabilistic algorithms versus deterministic algorithms.
