    Natural Language Statement

    Definition

    A binary language belongs to NPSPACE\mathrm{NPSPACE} if one nondeterministic Turing machine decides membership using at most p(n)p(n) work cells on every branch on inputs of length nn, for some polynomial p∈N[X]p\in\mathbb{N}[X]. All branches halt; at least one accepts precisely when the input belongs to the language. The input tape is read-only and excluded from work space.
