Rezensionen

'The author is a well-known expert in the field of complexity theory and so is well-qualified to bring out this book which will serve as a very good introductory textbook. The focus on search problems and promise problems in this book is to be appreciated since many books neglect these topics.' S. V. Naaraj, SIGACT News
