We give machine characterisations and logical descriptions of a number of parameterized complexity classes. The focus of our attention is the class W[P], which we characterise as ...
Abstract. This paper provides a framework enabling to define and determine the complexity of various universal programs U for various machines. The approach consists of first defin...
We prove that every computably enumerable (c.e.) random real is provable in Peano Arithmetic (PA) to be c.e. random. A major step in the proof is to show that the theorem stating ...
We first consider so-called (1,+s)-branching programs in which along every consistent path at most s variables are tested more than once. We prove that any such program computing...
The need for flexible forms of serialisation arises under many circumstances, e.g. for doing high-level inter-process communication or to achieve persistence. Many languages, inc...
