Complexity analysis and timespace tradeoff complexity a measure of the performance of an algorithm an algorithms. In the following we will consider computations with bounded resources. Similar to time, we can can measure the space in other words. Chaitin complexity, spacetime complexity, computational complexity, algorithmic. While the design and analysis of algorithms puts upper bounds on such amounts, computational complexity theory is mostly concerned with lower bounds.
