چکیده

We prove that the theory of EXPTIME degrees with respect to polynomial time Turing and many-one reducibility is undecidable. To do so we use a coding method based on ideal lattices of Boolean algebras which was introduced in Nies 12]. The method can be applied in fact to all time classes given by a time constructible function which dominates all polynomials. By a similar method, we construct an oracle U such that Th(NP U ;) is undecidable.

Undecidability Results for Low Complexity Degree Structures

We prove that the theory of EXPTIME degrees with respect to polynomial time Turing and many-one reducibility is undecidable. To do so we use a coding method based on ideal lattices of Boolean algebras which was introduced in [7]. The method can be applied in fact to all hyper-polynomial time classes.

Undecidability Results for Low Complexity Degree Structures Extended Abstract

We prove that the theory of EXPTIME degrees with respect to polynomial time Turing and many-one re-ducibility is undecidable. To do so we use a coding method based on ideal lattices of Boolean algebras which was introduced in 7]. The method can be applied in fact to all hyper-polynomial time classes.

About the impossibility to prove P=NP or P!=NP and the pseudo-randomness in NP

The relationship between the complexity classes P and NP is an unsolved question in the field of theoretical computer science. In this paper, we look at the link between the P NP question and the “Deterministic” versus “Non Deterministic” nature of a problem, and more specifically at the temporal nature of the complexity within theNP class of problems. Let us remind that the NP class is called ...

Unification-based grammars and complexity classes

A simple unification-based formalism is identified, and it is demonstrated how small changes effect its computational complexity. Versions are defined for polynomial time (PTIME), non-deterministic polynomial time (NPTIME), polynomial space (PSPACE), exponential time (EXPTIME), and undecidability (UNDEC). If the grammar is unambiguous or deterministically copying, its recognition problem is sol...

The Limits of Decidable States on Open-Ended Evolution and Emergence

Is undecidability a requirement for open-ended evolution (OEE)? Using methods derived from algorithmic complexity theory, we propose robust computational definitions of open-ended evolution and the adaptability of computable dynamical systems. Within this framework, we show that decidability imposes absolute limits to the stable growth of complexity in computable dynamical systems. Conversely, ...
