In this technical report, certain interesting classification of arithmetical functions is proposed. The notion of additively decomposable and multiplicatively decomposable arithmetical functions is proposed. The concepts of arithmetical…

We study the robustness--the invariance under definition changes--of the cluster class CL#P [HHKW05]. This class contains each #P function that is computed by a balanced Turing machine whose accepting paths always form a cluster with…

Parameterized complexity theory offers a framework for a refined analysis of hard algorithmic problems. Instead of expressing the running time of an algorithm as a function of the input size only, running times are expressed with respect to…

Choice functions constitute a simple, direct and very general mathematical framework for modelling choice under uncertainty. In particular, they are able to represent the set-valued choices that appear in imprecise-probabilistic decision…

A formal definition of epsilon-complexity of an individual continuous function defined on a unit cube is proposed. This definition is consistent with the Kolmogorov's idea of the complexity of an object. A definition of epsilon-complexity…

We study monitorable sets from a topological standpoint. In particular, we use descriptive set theory to describe the complexity of the family of monitorable sets in a countable space $X$. When $X$ is second countable, we observe that the…

Classical complexity theory measures the cost of computing a function, but many computational tasks require committing to one valid output among several. We introduce determination depth -- the minimum number of sequential layers of…

We start the study of the enumeration complexity of different satisfiability problems in first-order team logics. Since many of our problems go beyond DelP, we use a framework for hard enumeration analogous to the polynomial hierarchy,…

Many proposed applications of neural networks in machine learning, cognitive/brain science, and society hinge on the feasibility of inner interpretability via circuit discovery. This calls for empirical and theoretical explorations of…

We introduce the framework FreeCHR which formalizes the embedding of Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) into a host language, using the concept of initial algebra semantics from category theory. We hereby establish a high-level implementation…

We analyze the descriptive complexity of several $\Pi^1_1$ ranks from classical analysis which are associated to Denjoy integration. We show that $VBG, VBG_\ast, ACG$ and $ACG_\ast$ are $\Pi^1_1$-complete, answering a question of Walsh in…

For any particular class of graphs, algorithms for computational problems restricted to the class often rely on structural properties that depend on the specific problem at hand. This begs the question if a large set of such results can be…

We describe a number of geometric contexts where categorification appears naturally: coherent sheaves, constructible sheaves and sheaves of modules over quantizations. In each case, we discuss how "index formulas" allow us to easily perform…

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…

Introducing inner-city high school students to program design presents unique challenges. The typical assumptions of an introductory programming course, like students understand what variables and functions are, may not be safe. Therefore,…

We present a categorical framework for relating causal models that represent the same system at different levels of abstraction. We define a causal abstraction as natural transformations between appropriate Markov functors, which concisely…

The purpose of a program analysis is to compute an abstract meaning for a program which approximates its dynamic behaviour. A compositional program analysis accomplishes this task with a divide-and-conquer strategy: the meaning of a program…
