Abstract
Let $C$ denote one of the complexity classes ``polynomial time,’’ ``logspace,’’ or ``nondeterministic logspace.’’ We introduce a logic $L©}$ and show generalizations and variants of the equivalence ($L©{mathrm{inv}}$ captures $C$ if and only if there is an almost $C$-optimal algorithm in $C$ for the set TAUT of tautologies of propositional logic.) These statements are also equivalent to the existence of a listing of subsets in $C$ of TAUT by corresponding Turing machines and equivalent to the fact that a certain parameterized halting problem is in the parameterized complexity class $mathrm{XC}_{ m uni}$.
