We consider variants of the minimum circuit size problem MCSP, where the goal is to minimize the size oforaclecircuits computing a given function. When the oracle is QBF, the resulting problem MSCPQBFis known to be complete for PSPACE under ZPP reductions. We show that it isnotcomplete under logspace reductions, and indeed it is not even hard for TC0under uniform AC0reductions. We obtain a variety of consequences that follow if oracle versions of MCSP are hard for various complexity classes under different types of reductions. We also prove analogous results for the problem of determining the resource-bounded Kolmogorov complexity of strings, for certain types of Kolmogorov complexity measures.
