Torenvliet, Leen; van Emde Boas, Peter Diagonalisation methods in a polynomial setting. (English) Zbl 0611.68019 Structure in complexity theory, Proc. Conf., Berkeley/Calif. 1986, Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 223, 330-346 (1986). [For the entire collection see Zbl 0591.00015.] In the present paper an overview is presented of diagonalisation methods which have been used for the construction of oracle sets relative to which complexity classes in the P-Time Hierarchy are separated structurally. A comparison of the methods is made on the basis of inherent properties. A characterisation of these properties leads to a first attempt for a taxonomy for these diagonalisation methods.
