Ladner [3] ]has shown that the circuit value problem (CV) is log space complete for P, adding to the list of such problems found by Cook [iJ and Jones and Laaser [2]. Ladner's simulation of Turing mac]hines by boolean circuits seems to require an "adequate" set of gates, such as AND and NOT. We show that the same simulation is possible with monotone circuits using AND and OR gates only. Theorem The monotone circuit value problem (MCV) is log space complete for P. Proof Clearly MCV • P, and the construction below shows that CV -<log MCV. All definitions are as in E3]. Let o, -(°'l'''~m) be a circuit where each c i is either a variable Xl,X2,...,x n or a gate AND (j,k) or NOT (j) where j ~ k < i. Let ~ be a truth assignment to the variables of ~,. We will use a monotone circuit to compute the value of each ~. i and the value of its negation, as follows. Construct a monotone circuit @ = (@]...~2m) with variables Xl,X2,...~Xn,Xl,X2,...,x n such that a) b)
