CMSC828D notes (adapted from material written with Nail Gumerov). Work in progress 1 Acoustic Waves 1.1 Barotropic Fluids The usual assumptions for acoustic problems are that acoustic waves are perturbations of the medium (fluid) density ρ (r,t), pressure p (r,t), and mass velocity, v (r,t), where t is time. It is also assumed that the medium is inviscid, and that perturbations are small, so th...

Assume that the problem P0 is not solvable in polynomial time. Let T be a first-order theory containing a sufficiently rich part of true arithmetic. We characterize T∪{ConT } as the minimal extension of T proving for some algorithm that it decides P0 as fast as any algorithm B with the property that T proves that B decides P0. Here, ConT claims the consistency of T . As a byproduct, we obtain a...
