[comp.theory] Help on space complexity

inde47d@jetson.uh.edu (04/24/91)

I am looking for a proof to the following statement. If a non
deterministic turing machine requires a space s(n) for a problem, the
same problem can be solved on a deterministic turing machine with a 
space complexity equal to s^2(n).

I would appreciate very much if someone could tell me the proof or point
out references for the same. Not being a student of computer science, I would
very much appreciate intuitive proofs.

Thank you
Shiv
