Abstract

We show that any randomized Logspace algorithm (running in polynomial time, with bounded two-sided error) can be simulated deterministically in polynomial time and O(log2 n) space. This puts RL in SC, "Steve's Class". In particular, we get a polynomial time O(log2 n) space algorithm for the connectivity problem on undirected graphs.
