This paper introduces two complexity-theoretic formulations of Bennett’s computational depth: finite-state depth and polynomial-time depth. It is shown that for both formulation...
The interest is in characterizing insightfully the power of program self-reference in effective programming systems (epses), the computability-theoretic analogs of programming lan...
Realizability theory is not just a fundamental tool in logic and computability. It also has direct application to the design and implementation of programs, since it can produce co...
Abstract. We study existence problems of maximal antichains in the Turing degrees. In particular, we give a characterization of the existence of a thin Π1 1 maximal antichains in ...
Abstract. A classic result known as the speed-up theorem in machineindependent complexity theory shows that there exist some computable functions that do not have best programs for...
We survey our current knowledge of circuit complexity of regular languages and we prove that regular languages that are in AC0 and ACC0 are all computable by almost linear size ci...
Concerning the set of rooted binary trees, one shows that Higman’s Lemma and Dershowitz’s recursive path ordering can be used for the decision of its maximal order type accordi...
