Space-Bounded Simulation of Multitape Turing Machines

A new proof of a theorem of Hopcroft, Paul, and Valiant is presented: every deterministic multitape Turing machine of time complexity T(n) can be simulated by a deterministic Turing machine of space complexity T(n)/log T(n). The proof includes an overlap argument.
