We show that the affirmation $P\subseteq NP$ (in computer science) erroneously and we prove the justice of the hypotesis J.Edmonds's $P\neq NP$. We show further that all the $NP$-complete problems is not polynomial and we give the…

We prove that P != NP by proving the existence of a class of functions we call Tau, each of whose members satisfies the conditions of one-way functions. Each member of Tau is a function computable in polynomial time, with negligible…

The purpose of this article is to examine and limit the conditions in which the P complexity class could be equivalent to the NP complexity class. Proof is provided by demonstrating that as the number of clauses in a NP-complete problem…

In much discussed work Artemov has recently shown that, for $\mathrm{PA}$, the consistency schema admits a form of uniform verification via selector proofs, despite the unprovability of the corresponding uniform consistency sentence…

In this first of two papers, strong limits on the accuracy of physical computation are established. First it is proven that there cannot be a physical computer C to which one can pose any and all computational tasks concerning the physical…

This paper talk about the complexity of computation by Turing Machine. I take attention to the relation of symmetry and order structure of the data, and I think about the limitation of computation time. First, I make general problem named…

The equivalence between absolutely separable states and absolutely positive partial transposed (PPT) states in general remains an open problem in quantum entanglement theory. In this work, we study an analogous question for symmetric…

The P versus NP problem is studied under the relational model of E. F. Codd. I found that the term "complete configuration" is unnecessary and harmful in computational complexity theory because of excessive symbol redundancy. For an input,…

In this paper, we explore the 'equivalence principle' (EP): roughly, statements about mathematical objects should be invariant under an appropriate notion of equivalence for the kinds of objects under consideration. In set theoretic…

The question whether P equals NP revolves around the discrepancy between active production and mere verification by Turing machines. In this paper, we examine the analogous problem for finite transducers and automata. Every nondeterministic…

P systems are computing conceptual computing devices that are at least as powerful as Turing machines. However, until recently it was not known how one can encode any recursive function as a P~system. Here we propose a new encoding of…

A first-order theory $T$ is a model-complete core theory if every first-order formula is equivalent modulo $T$ to an existential positive formula; the core companion of a theory $T$ is a model-complete core theory $S$ such that every model…

The paper contains a proof for the P != NP hypothesis with the help of the two "natural" postulates. The postulates restrict capacity of the Turing machines and state that each independent and necessary condition of the problem should be…

We introduce the NP-complete problem 3SAT_N and extend Tovey's results to a classification theorem for this problem. This theorem leads us to generalize the concept of truth assignments for SAT to aggressive truth assignments for 3SAT_N. We…

Motivated by the theory of proof complexity generators we consider the following $\Sigma^p_2$ search problem $\mbox{DD}_P$ determined by a propositional proof system $P$: given a $P$-proof $\pi$ of a disjunction $\bigvee_i {\alpha}_i$, no…

The classical satisfiability problem (SAT) is used as a natural and general tool to express and solve combinatorial problems that are in NP. We postulate that provability for implicational intuitionistic propositional logic (IIPC) can serve…

Orbit-finite models of computation generalise the standard models of computation, to allow computation over infinite objects that are finite up to symmetries on atoms, denoted by $\mathbb{A}$. Set theory with atoms is used to reason about…
