PSPACE

In complexity theory the class PSPACE is the set of decision problems that can be solved by a Turing machine using a polynomial amount of memory, and unlimited time.

The definition is not affected by whether the Turing machine is deterministic or non-deterministic. So PSPACE=NPSPACE. The set PSPACE is a strict superset of the set of context-sensitive languages. The following facts are known, where means "proper subset", and means "subset" (unknown whether they are equal):

NC P NP PSPACE

NC PSPACE EXPSPACE

PSPACE-Complete PSPACE

There are three symbols on the first line. It is known that at least one of them is a , but it is not known which. It is widely suspected that all three are . A proof of that for the middle one is worth $1,000,000. It is also widely suspected that the on the last line should be a .

The hardest problems in PSPACE are the PSPACE-Complete problems. See PSPACE-Complete for examples of problems that are suspected to be in PSPACE but not in NP.
