This paper classifies the complexity of various teaching models by their position in the arithmetical hierarchy. In particular, we determine the arithmetical complexity of the index sets of the following classes: (1) the class of uniformly…
We prove various results on effective numberings and Friedberg numberings of families related to algorithmic randomness. The family of all Martin-L\"of random left-computably enumerable reals has a Friedberg numbering, as does the family of…
A real number \alpha is called recursively enumerable if there exists a computable, increasing sequence of rational numbers which converges to \alpha. The randomness of a recursively enumerable real \alpha can be characterized in various…
A real \alpha is called recursively enumerable ("r.e." for short) if there exists a computable, increasing sequence of rationals which converges to \alpha. It is known that the randomness of an r.e. real \alpha can be characterized in…
We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…
A real number is called left-computable if there exists a computable increasing sequence of rational numbers converging to it. In this article we investigate the Kolmogorov complexity and the binary expansions of a very specific subset of…
We study in which way Kolmogorov complexity and instance complexity affect properties of r.e. sets. We show that the well-known 2log n upper bound on the Kolmogorov complexity of initial segments of r.e.\ sets is optimal and characterize…
We define counting classes #P_R and #P_C in the Blum-Shub-Smale setting of computations over the real or complex numbers, respectively. The problems of counting the number of solutions of systems of polynomial inequalities over R, or of…
We study algorithmic randomness notions via effective versions of almost-everywhere theorems from analysis and ergodic theory. The effectivization is in terms of objects described by a computably enumerable set, such as lower semicomputable…
One says that a property $P$ of sets of natural numbers can be made into itself iff there is a numbering $\alpha_0,\alpha_1,\ldots$ of all left-r.e. sets such that the index set $\{e: \alpha_e$ satisfies $P\}$ has the property $P$ as well.…
We study connections between classical asymptotic density and c.e. sets. We prove that a c.e. Turing degree d is not low if and only if d contains a c.e. set A of density 1 which has no computable subsets of density 1, giving a natural…
Schnorr showed that a real is Martin-Loef random if and only if all of its initial segments are incompressible with respect to prefix-free complexity. Fortnow and independently Nies, Stephan and Terwijn noticed that this statement remains…
A fruitful way of obtaining meaningful, possibly concrete, algorithmically random numbers is to consider a potential behaviour of a Turing machine and its probability with respect to a measure (or semi-measure) on the input space of binary…
We investigate the complexity of isomorphism relations for classes of finitely generated and n-generated computably enumerable (c.e.) algebras, presented via c.e. presentations -- that is, as quotients of term algebras over decidable sets…
Appeals to randomness in various number-theoretic constructions appear regularly in modern scientific publications. Such famous names as V.I. Arnold, M. Katz, Ya.G. Sinai, and T. Tao are just a few examples. Unfortunately, all of these…
In this work we study the space complexity of computable real numbers represented by fast convergent Cauchy sequences. We show the existence of families of trascendental numbers which are logspace computable, as opposed to algebraic…
Bennett's notion of depth is usually considered to describe the usefulness and internal organization of the information encoded into an object such as an infinite binary sequence. We consider a natural way to relativize the notion of depth…
Human recursive numeral systems (i.e., counting systems such as English base-10 numerals), like many other grammatical systems, are highly regular. Following prior work that relates cross-linguistic tendencies to biases in learning, we ask…
The arithmetic complexity counts the number of algebraically independent entries in the periodic continued fraction $\theta=[b_1,\dots, b_N, \overline{a_1,\dots,a_k}]$. If $\mathscr{A}_{\theta}$ is a noncommutative torus corresponding to…
In this article, we investigate the arithmetical hierarchy from the perspective of realizability theory. An experimental observation in classical computability theory is that the notion of degrees of unsolvability for natural arithmetical…
