Can I ask for references where this concept is defined? I tried searching for "exponential hierarchy" on google but found a paper with a different definition [1]. Andris 14:13, May 19, 2004 (UTC)

I was relying on Papadimitriou, "Computational Complexity", page 498. The paper you cite is discussing a hierarchy (starting with E and NE rather than EXPTIME and NEXPTIME) that is usually called the strong exponential hierarchy. Ref: L. Hemachandra, "The strong exponential hierarchy collapses", J.CSS 39, 3, 1989. Gdr 11:21, 2004 May 20 (UTC)
