Closure properties of GapP and #P
Proceedings of the Fifth Israeli Symposium on Theory of Computing and Systems
We classify the univariate functions that are relativizable closure properties of GapP, solving a problem posed by Hertrampf, Vollmer, and Wagner (Structures '95). ...
We also give a simple proof of their classi cation of univariate functions that are relativizable closure properties of #P. ...
Acknowledgments We thank Bill Gasarch for proofreading and Uli Hertrampf, Heribert Vollmer, and Klaus Wagner for an advance copy of their paper. ...

Gap-definable counting classes
1994
Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
GapP is the closure of #P under subtraction and has all the other useful closure properties of ga P as well. ...
The function class gap lacks an important closure property: it is not closed under subtraction. To remedy this problem, we introduce the function class GapP as a natural alternative to #P. ...
We also thank Krzysztof Lorys for pointing out an error in an earlier version of the paper. ...

Determining acceptance possibility for a quantum computation is hard for the polynomial hierarchy
