What is the Immerman-Szelepcsényi theorem?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) NSPACE(f(n)) is closed under complement for all space-constructible f(n) ≥ log n, proving NL = co-NL

B

Correct Answer

NSPACE(f(n)) is closed under complement for all space-constructible f(n) ≥ log n, proving NL = co-NL

Explanation

Immerman and Szelepcsényi independently proved NL = co-NL (1987/1988) using inductive counting: the complement of graph reachability is in NL.
