Promise problems solved by circuits #
PromiseSIZE s and PromisePPoly lift the circuit classes SIZE s and P/poly
(Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.SIZE, Cslib.Circuits.Boolean.PPoly) to promise problems over words
(Cslib.Complexity.promiseClass). A family of circuits, one for each input length, solves a
promise problem when the circuit for each length gives the right answer on the promised words of
that length; what it computes on the other words does not matter. The lifted classes consist
exactly of the promise problems solved by circuit families of the given size
(mem_PromiseSIZE_iff, mem_PromisePPoly_iff).

Instances For
Promise SIZE is solvability by circuits on the promise. A promise problem is in
PromiseSIZE s exactly when a family of circuits of size at most s n on inputs of length n
answers correctly on every promised word.
Promise P/poly is solvability by polynomial-size circuits on the promise. A promise
problem is in PromisePPoly exactly when a family of circuits of polynomial size answers correctly
on every promised word.
A language is in the lift of SIZE s exactly when it is in SIZE s.
A language is in the lift of P/poly exactly when it is in P/poly.
