Róbert Szelepcsényi (born August 19, 1966 in Žilina ) is a Slovak computer scientist of Hungarian descent.

life and work

Szelepcsenyi, the son of the musician January Szelepcsenyi (* 1937), showed a student at Comenius University in Bratislava in 1987 regardless of Neil Immerman the set of Immerman and Szelepcsényi in complexity theory , for which both the 1995 Gödel Prize received. The theorem says that if a decision problem can be solved by a non-deterministic machine with logarithmically limited storage space, the complementary problem (with interchanged yes / no answers) can also be solved by such a machine. For the temporal complexity the problem is unsolved (2018) and it is generally assumed that such a sentence does not apply in this case.

In 1993 he received a Masters degree from the University of Rochester , was at the University of Chicago and was at the Slovak Academy of Sciences in the late 1990s.
