Abstract
A set A is m -reducible (or Karp-reducible) to B if and only if there is a polynomial-time computable function f such that for all x , x ∈A if and only if f (x )∈B . Two sets are 1-equivalent if each is m -reducible to the other by one-one reductions; p -invertible equivalent iff each is m -reducible to the other by one-one, polynomial-time invertible reductions; and p -isomorphic iff there is an m -reduction from one set to the other that is one-one, onto, and polynomial-time invertible. It is proved that the following statements are equivalent: (1) P=PSPACE. (2) Every two 1-equivalent sets are p -isomorphic. (3) Every two p -invertible equivalent sets are p -isomorphic
