[For the entire collection see Zbl 0731.00026.] The authors introduce a notion of a characteristic vector of pairs of queries to an oracle and answers to them as well as a notion of a characteristic vector cost (CVC) of a special class \(C\) of so called interesting languages. The characteristic cost for an arbitrary language \(L\) belonging to \(C\) and an integer \(k\) is equal to the minimal number of queries sufficient to solve for every characteristic vector of the size \(k\) whether it coincides with \(L\) or not. A series of results concerning the coincidence of classes of languages and the Boolean hierarchies over them in terms of CVC are obtained.
