It is a well-known result of Fagin that the complexity class NP coincides with the class of problems expressible in existential second-order logic ( 1 1), which allows sentences c...
Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
