Abstract

Every alternating t(n)-time bounded multitape Turing machine can be simulated by an alternating t(n)-time bounded 1-tape Turing machine. Every nondeterministic t(n)-time bounded 1-tape Turing machine can be simulated by an alternating (n + (t(n)) 1/2)-timebounded 1-tape Turing machine. For wellbehaved functions t(n) every nondeterministic t(n)-time bounded 1-tape Turing machine can be simulated by a deterministic ((nlogn)1/2 + (t(n))1/2)-tape bounded off-line Turing machine. These results improve or extend results by Chandra-Stockmeyer, Lipton-Tarjan and Paterson.
