We present the symplectic algorithm in the Lagrangian formalism for the Hamiltonian systems by virtue of the noncommutative differential calculus with respect to the discrete time and the Euler--Lagrange cohomological concepts. We also show…

We construct universal prediction systems in the spirit of Popper's falsifiability and Kolmogorov complexity and randomness. These prediction systems do not depend on any statistical assumptions (but under the IID assumption they dominate,…

The purpose of this letter is to investigate the time complexity consequences of the truncated Taylor series, known as Taylor Polynomials \cite{bakas2019taylor,Katsoprinakis2011,Nestoridis2011}. In particular, it is demonstrated that the…

The {\em diagonalization technique} was invented by Georg Cantor to show that there are more real numbers than algebraic numbers and is very crucial in {\em theoretical computer science}. In this work, we enumerate all of the…

After presentations of Raz and Tal's oracle separation of BQP and PH result, several people (e.g. Ryan O'Donnell, James Lee, Avishay Tal) suggested that the proof may be simplified by stochastic calculus. In this short note, we describe…

We reconsider some classical natural semantics of integers (namely iterators of functions, cardinals of sets, index of equivalence relations), in the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. To each such semantics one can attach a simple…

We prove that P = NP implies #P = FP by exploiting the topological structure of 3SAT solution spaces. The argument proceeds via a dichotomy: any polynomial-time algorithm for 3SAT either operates without global knowledge of the…

Loveland complexity is a variant of Kolmogorov complexity, where it is asked to output separately the bits of the desired string, instead of the string itself. Similarly to the resource-bounded Kolmogorov sets we define Loveland sets. We…

This article introduces three invariance principles under which P is different from NP. In the second part a theorem of convergence is proven. This theorem states that for any language L there exists an infinite sequence of languages from…

Cook and Reckhow 1979 pointed out that NP is not closed under complementation iff there is no propositional proof system that admits polynomial size proofs of all tautologies. Theory of proof complexity generators aims at constructing sets…

An extractor is a function that receives some randomness and either "improves" it or produces "new" randomness. There are statistical and algorithmical specifications of this notion. We study an algorithmical one called Kolmogorov…

Muchnik's theorem about simple conditional descriprion states that for all words $a$ and $b$ there exists a short program $p$ transforming $a$ to $b$ that has the least possible length and is simple conditional on $b$. This paper presents a…

Continuing the study of complexity theory of Koepke's Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs) that was started by Rin, L\"owe and the author, we prove the following results: (1) An analogue of Ladner's theorem for OTMs holds: That is, there are…

If no optimal propositional proof system exists, we (and independently Pudl\'ak) prove that ruling out length $t$ proofs of any unprovable sentence is hard. This mapping from unprovable to hard-to-prove sentences powerfully translates facts…
