Q91 / 100

What is the Toda's theorem in complexity theory?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) The polynomial hierarchy PH is contained in P^#P — a single call to a #P oracle suffices to solve any problem in PH

B

Correct Answer

The polynomial hierarchy PH is contained in P^#P — a single call to a #P oracle suffices to solve any problem in PH

Explanation

Toda's theorem (1991): PH ⊆ P^#P. This means any level of the polynomial hierarchy can be solved with one query to a counting oracle, showing counting is surprisingly powerful.
