On the Resource Bounded Measure of P/poly
Johannes Köbler and Wolfgang Lindner
Abstract:
We show that the class of sets having polynomial size circuits, P/poly,
has measure 0 at EXP(NP) under each of the following two assumptions.
- EXP(NP) is not contained in ZPP(NP(NP)) (which holds if the polynomial time hierarchy does not collapse), or
- NP is not small at EXP.
