This work studies the problem of constructing capacity-achieving codes from an algorithmic perspective. Specifically, we prove that there exists a Turing machine which, given a discrete memoryless channel $p_{Y|X}$, a target rate $R$ less…

Drift analysis aims at translating the expected progress of an evolutionary algorithm (or more generally, a random process) into a probabilistic guarantee on its run time (hitting time). So far, drift arguments have been successfully…

A crucial ingredient in the recent discovery by Ablowitz, Halburd, Herbst and Korhonen \cite{AHH}, \cite {HK-2} that a connection exists between discrete Painlev\'e equations and (finite order) Nevanlinna theory is an estimate of the…

We generalise results by Sacks and Tanaka concerning measure-theoretic uniformity for hyperarithmetical sets and a basis theorem for $\Pi^1_1$-sets of positive measure to computability and semicomputability relative to the Suslin…

Let $Z_2$, $Z_3$, and $Z_4$ denote $2^{\rm nd}$, $3^{\rm rd}$, and $4^{\rm th}$ order arithmetic, respectively. We let Harrington's Principle, {\sf HP}, denote the statement that there is a real $x$ such that every $x$--admissible ordinal…

We study generation through the lens of statistical learning theory. First, we abstract and formalize the results of Gold [1967], Angluin [1979], Angluin [1980] and Kleinberg and Mullainathan [2024] in terms of a binary hypothesis class…

Halin [1965] proved that if a graph has $n$ many pairwise disjoint rays for each $n$ then it has infinitely many pairwise disjoint rays. We analyze the complexity of this and other similar results in terms of computable and proof theoretic…

Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate Hilbert's tenth problem in the domain of integer arithmetics into problems involving either a set of infinitely-coupled non-linear differential equations or a class of linear Schr\"odinger…

Fast exact algorithms are known for Hamiltonian paths in undirected and directed bipartite graphs through elegant though involved algorithms that are quite different from each other. We devise algorithms that are simple and similar to each…

In this paper we provide solutions of the Harrington problem (along with a few generalizations) proposed in a book Analytic Sets. The original problem asks if for arbitrary sequence of continuous functions from \( \R^\omega \) to a fixed…

An important problem in combinatorial noncommutative algebra is to characterize the growth functions of finitely generated algebras (equivalently, semigroups, or hereditary languages). The growth function of every finitely generated,…
