5.0 out of 5 stars This is an important book in complexity theory.
This is an important book in complexity theory. It ties the discrete complexity theory of NP-completeness with numerical computation of continuous functions. Traditionally, numerical computation uses floating-point machines as the computational model and the theory is very messy. More recently, there are several approaches trying to create a more coherent theory with...

This review is from: Complexity Theory of Real Functions (Progress in Theoretical Computer Science) (Hardcover)
This is an important book in complexity theory. It ties the discrete complexity theory of NP-completeness with numerical computation of continuous functions. Traditionally, numerical computation uses floating-point machines as the computational model and the theory is very messy. More recently, there are several approaches trying to create a more coherent theory with discrete complexity theory. This theory using Turing machines as a model is one of them. The advantage of this approach is that it makes a direct connection with the NP-completeness theory. The book is well-written and includes a brief review of discrete complexity theory.
