We examine the convergence properties of sequences of nonnegative real numbers that satisfy a particular class of recursive inequalities, from the perspective of proof theory and computability theory. We first establish a number of results…

Computation with advice is suggested as generalization of both computation with discrete advice and Type-2 Nondeterminism. Several embodiments of the generic concept are discussed, and the close connection to Weihrauch reducibility is…

We introduce two new operations (compositional products and implication) on Weihrauch degrees, and investigate the overall algebraic structure. The validity of the various distributivity laws is studied and forms the basis for a comparison…

The Weihrauch degrees are a tool to gauge the computational difficulty of mathematical problems. Often, what makes these problems hard is their discontinuity. We look at discontinuity in its purest form, that is, at otherwise constant…

Choosing an encoding over binary strings for input/output to/by a Turing Machine is usually straightforward and/or inessential for discrete data (like graphs), but delicate -- heavily affecting computability and even more computational…

We introduce definitions of computable PAC learning for binary classification over computable metric spaces. We provide sufficient conditions for learners that are empirical risk minimizers (ERM) to be computable, and bound the strong…

Weihrauch complexity is now an established and active part of mathematical logic. It can be seen as a computability-theoretic approach to classifying the uniform computational content of mathematical problems. This theory has become an…

By the sometimes so-called MAIN THEOREM of Recursive Analysis, every computable real function is necessarily continuous. Weihrauch and Zheng (TCS'2000), Brattka (MLQ'2005), and Ziegler (ToCS'2006) have considered different relaxed notions…

We investigate the computational properties of basic mathematical notions pertaining to $\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$-functions and subsets of $\mathbb{R}$, like finiteness, countability, (absolute) continuity, bounded variation,…

In this paper we study the notion of first-order part of a computational problem, first introduced by Dzhafarov, Solomon, and Yokoyama, which captures the "strongest computational problem with codomain $\mathbb{N}$ that is Weihrauch…

We introduce two notions of effective reducibility for set-theoretical statements, based on computability with Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs), one of which resembles Turing reducibility while the other is modelled after Weihrauch…

Conventional theoretical machine learning studies generally assume explicitly or implicitly that there are enough or even infinitely supplied computational resources. In real practice, however, computational resources are usually limited,…

We study the computational power of randomized computations on infinite objects, such as real numbers. In particular, we introduce the concept of a Las Vegas computable multi-valued function, which is a function that can be computed on a…

We study a fine hierarchy of Borel-piecewise continuous functions, especially, between closed-piecewise continuity and $G_\delta$-piecewise continuity. Our aim is to understand how a priority argument in computability theory is connected to…
