3 The Gaussian elimination method 33 division, in the method is polynomially bounded by the number of rows and columns of the initial matrix A, and hence by size(A). So to prove that the method is polynomial, it is only left to show that also the sizes of the numbers occurring throughout the method are polynomially bounded by size(A). ,i, and columns jl,... , j,. e. 2, the size of 8ij is at most 4size(A). Since each entry of the matrices B and C in (16) has been, in a previous stage, an entry of a matrix D, it follows that throughout the forward steps each number has size at most 4size(A).
Proof. 1a. 1c so that: Al (1) 1xO' X1, XJ - CAl lb lA2J. 2 Sizes and good characterizations 29 where C arises from C by replacing the jth column of C by d. This is the essence of Cramer's rule (Cramer [1750]). ,; in (1) is a quotient of subdeterminants of the matrix [A1 A2 b]. Id. Let A be a matrix, b be a column vector, c be a row vector, and 6 be a number. Assume that the system Ax = b has a solution. Then Ax = b implies cx = 6, f and only if there is a row vector y such that yA = c and yb = 6.
A" consists of those decision problems for which both a positive answer and a negative answer have a proof of polynomial length. That is, it consists of all problems 2 c E* for which there exist polynomially solvable decision problem 2', 2" and a polynomial 0, such that for each string zeE*: (12) ze2p(z,x)e2' for some string x with size (x) < 0(size (z)) zO2e>(z,y)e2" for some string y with size (y) 5 0(size(z)). 9. To any well-characterized problem there corresponds a good characterization, which is the theorem asserting that, in the notation as above: (13) 3x:(z, x)e P' if and only if Vy:(z, y)0Y", where 2' and 2" satisfy, for a certain polynomial 0: (14) if (z,x)e2' then (z,x')e2' for some string x' with size(x') < 0(size(z)) if (z,y)e2" then (z,y')e2" for some string y' with size(y) <, 0(size (z)).
