摘要
A general lower bound technique is developed for computation trees with operations {+, -, *, /, [.], <} and constants {0, 1}, for functions that have as their input a single n-bit integer. The technique applies to many natural functions, such as perfect square root (deciding if the square root of the input is integral or not), computing the parity of [log x], etc. The arguments are then extended to obtain the same lower bounds on the time complexity of any RAM program with operations {+, -, *, /, [.], <} that solves the problem. Another related result is described in a companion paper [Proc. 29th IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 1988] and [J. Assoc. Comput. Mach., 1991, to appear].
