The $P$ versus $NP$ problem is still unsolved. But there are several oracles with $P$ unequal $NP$ relative to them. Here we will prove, that $P\not=NP$ relative to a $P$-complete oracle. In this paper, we use padding arguments as the proof…

This paper talk about that NP is not AL and P, P is not NC, NC is not NL, and NL is not L. The point about this paper is the depend relation of the problem that need other problem's result to compute it. I show the structure of depend…

Theoretical computer scientists have been debating the role of oracles since the 1970's. This paper illustrates both that oracles can give us nontrivial insights about the barrier problems in circuit complexity, and that they need not…

In this article, we discuss the question of whether P equals NP, we do not follow the line of research of many researchers, which is to try to find such a problem Q, and the problem Q belongs to the class of NP-complete, if the problem Q is…

Two theorems about the P versus NP problem be proved in this article (1) There exists a language $L$, that the statement $L \in \textbf{P}$ is independent of ZFC. (2) There exists a language $L \in \textbf{NP}$, for any polynomial time…

In this paper we discusses the relationship between the known classes P and NP. We show that the difficulties in solving problem "P versus NP" have methodological in nature. An algorithm for solving any problem is sensitive to even small…

In this article, I focus on the resiliency of the P=?NP problem. The main point to deal with is the change of the underlying logic from first to second-order logic. In this manner, after developing the initial steps of this change, I can…

This text is an introduction to the study of NIP (or dependent) theories. It is meant to serve two purposes. The first is to present various aspects of NIP theories and give the reader the background material needed to understand almost any…

This paper discusses why P and NP are likely to be different. It analyses the essence of the concepts and points out that P and NP might be diverse by sheer definition. It also speculates that P and NP may be unequal due to natural laws.

$P \overset{\text{?}}{=} NP$ or $P\ vs\ NP$ is the core problem in computational complexity theory. In this paper, we proposed a definition of linear correlation of derived matrix and system, and discussed the linear correlation of $P$ and…

In this paper, we take a closer look at Czerwinski's "${\rm P}\neq{\rm NP}$ relative to a ${\rm P}$-complete oracle" [Cze23]. There are (uncountably) infinitely-many relativized worlds where ${\rm P}$ and ${\rm NP}$ differ, and it is…

Existing definitions of the relativizations of \NCOne, \L\ and \NL\ do not preserve the inclusions $\NCOne \subseteq \L$, $\NL\subseteq \ACOne$. We start by giving the first definitions that preserve them. Here for \L\ and \NL\ we define…

First of all we give some reasons that "natural proofs" built not a barrier to prove P $\not=$ NP using Boolean complexity. Then we investigate the approximation method for its extension to prove super-polynomial lower bounds for the…

Our main results are in the following three sections: 1. We prove new relations between proof complexity conjectures that are discussed in \cite{pu18}. 2. We investigate the existence of p-optimal proof systems for $\mathsf{TAUT}$, assuming…

We investigate the notion of independence, which is at the basis of many, seemingly unrelated, properties of logic like Rational Monotony in non-monotonic logics, and interpolation theorems.

An ordinal view of independence is studied in the framework of possibility theory. We investigate three possible definitions of dependence, of increasing strength. One of them is the counterpart to the multiplication law in probability…

We already know that several problems like the inequivalence of P and EXP as well as the undecidability of the acceptance problem and halting problem relativize. However, relativization is a limited tool which cannot separate other…

The relationship between the complexity classes P and NP is a question that has not yet been answered by the Theory of Computation. The existence of a language in NP, proven not to belong to P, is sufficient evidence to establish the…
