Abstract
Lutz (1987) introduced resource-bounded category and showed the circuit size class SIZE() is meager within ESPACE. Li (2024) established that the symmetric alternation class contains problems requiring circuits of size . In this note, we extend resource-bounded category to by defining meagerness relative to single-valued strategies in the Banach-Mazur game. We show that Li's algorithm for the Range Avoidance problem yields a winning strategy, proving that SIZE() is meager in . Consequently, languages requiring exponential-size circuits are comeager in : they are typical with respect to resource-bounded category.
