On Smale’s Work in the Theory of Computation: From Polynomial Zeros to Continuous Complexity

J. F. Traub

Chapter 31 in From Topology to Computation: Proceedings of the Smalefest, 1993, pp 317-320 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract I am delighted to have this opportunity to comment on the work of Steve Smale. Mike Shub was kind enough to give me an advance copy of his excellent paper (Shub [93]), which was very useful for it served as a reminder of the many areas in the theory of computation to which Steve has made major or often seminal contributions.
