The additive complexities of such tasks are shown to grow asymptotically like that of them×mmatrix multiplication. The paper is a continuation of an earlier paper by the authors, and also of 4where multiplicative complexity has been considered. We also propose a formalization of semialgebraic computational tasks.

As main new aspect our approach is based on real number complexity theory as introduced in [8] and descriptive complexity for the latter developed in [17]. Using this formal framework a uniform treatment of query languages for such databases is obtained. Precise results about both the data- and the expression-complexity of several such query languages are proved. More explicitly, relying on descriptive complexity theory over ℝ gives the possibility to derive a hierarchy of complete languages for most of the important real number complexity classes. A clear correspondence between different logics and such complexity classes is established. In particular, it is possible to formalize queries involving in a uniform manner real spaces of different dimensions. This can be done in such a way that the logical description exactly reflects the computational complexity of a query. The latter might circumvent a problem appearing in some of the former approaches dealing with semi-algebraic databases (see [20] , [18]), where the use of first-order logic over real-closed fields can imply inefficiency as soon as the dimension of the underlying real space is not fixed - no matter whether the query under consideration is easy to compute or not.

Therefore it seems useful to study the complexity of classical problems in the real model. In this connection, the problem of deciding the existence of a nonnegative zero for certain polynomials plays an important part because a lot of NP-problems over Z can be polynomial reduced to it.

For two such classes we consider the "P = NP?" problem as well as the question of whether the NP- problems are decidable.

In this sense the present paper is concerned with the relation between a characterization of the P = NP?-question for the Z-case (given by Krentel) and a special class of quadratic-programming problems which are important in the real model.

In particular we show that this problem is not NP-complete in the Koiran setting. Applications to the (full) BSS-model are discussed.

The present paper is devoted to combine both models. In particular we analyze the 3-Satisfiability problem. The existence of fast decision procedures for this problem over the reals is examined based on certain conditions on the discrete setting. Moreover we study the behaviour of exponential time computations over the reals depending on the real complexity of 3-Satisfiability. This will be done using tools from complexity theory over the integers.

Taking up this question we show in the present paper a lower bound of order n3 for the resultant.
