Abstract

Investigating the complexity of randomized space-bounded machines that are allowed to make multiple passes over the random tape has been of recent interest. In particular, it has been shown that derandomizing such probabilistic machines yields a weak but new derandomization of probabilistic time-bounded classes. In this paper we further explore the complexity of such machines. In particular, as our main result we show that for any ϵ < 1, every language that is accepted by an O(nϵ)-pass, randomized logspace machine can be simulated in deterministic logspace with linear amount of advice. This result extends an earlier result of Fortnow and Klivans who showed that RL is in deterministic logspace with linear advice.
