Abstract
Simpler proofs that DAuxPDA-TIME(polynomial) equals LOG(DCFL) and that SAC1 equals LOG(CFL) are given which avoid Sudborough's multi-head automata [Sud78]. The first characterization of LOGDCFL in terms of polynomial proof-tree-size is obtained, using circuits built from the multiplex select gates of [FLR96]. The classes L and NC1 are also characterized by such polynomial size circuits: “self-similar” logarithmic depth captures L, and bounded width captures NC1.
