LOGCFL
In computational complexity theory, LOGCFL is the complexity class that contains all decision problems that can be reduced in logarithmic space to a context-free language.[1] This class is closed under complementation.[1] It is situated between NL and AC1, in the sense that it contains the former[1] and is contained in the latter.[2] Problems that are complete for LOGCFL include many problems that can be characterized by acyclic hypergraphs:
- evaluating acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries[3]
- checking the existence of a homomorphism between two acyclic relational structures[4]
- checking the existence of solutions of acyclic constraint satisfaction problems[3]
