We propose a correction for this and show how Martinez's polynomial time algorithm, which realizes Chrobak's theorem, can be made correct accordingly. We also show that Martinez's algorithm cannot be improved to have logarithmic space, unless L = NL.Journal paper submittedComputational ComplexityLogic in Computer Sciencetext
