In temporal logics, a central question is about the choice of modalities and their relative expressive power, in comparison to the complexity of decision problems such as satisfiability. In this tutorial, we will illustrate the study of…

We determine the complexity of counting models of bounded size of specifications expressed in Linear-time Temporal Logic. Counting word models is #P-complete, if the bound is given in unary, and as hard as counting accepting runs of…

We introduce a new tractable temporal constraint language, which strictly contains the Ord-Horn language of Buerkert and Nebel and the class of AND/OR precedence constraints. The algorithm we present for this language decides whether a…

This is yet another version of the course notes in chao-dyn/9407003. Here we change the universal Turing machine that is used to measure program-size complexity so that the constants in our information-theoretic incompleteness theorems are…

We introduce a concept of efficiency for which we can prove that it applies to all paddable languages, but still does not conflict with potential worst case intractability. Note that the family of paddable languages apparently includes all…

Token-based time series large language models (TS-LLMs) have emerged as a promising direction for time series analysis and reasoning. However, prior studies largely overlook the inherent continuity and ordinality of time series tokens,…

Reachability and LTL model-checking problems for flat counter systems are known to be decidable but whereas the reachability problem can be shown in NP, the best known complexity upper bound for the latter problem is made of a tower of…

Combining the approaches made in works with Galeotti and Passmann, we define and study a notion of "almost sure" realizability with parameter-free ordinal Turing machines (OTMs). In particular, we show that, in contrast to the classical…

We develop a theory of complexity for numerical computations that takes into account the condition of the input data and allows for roundoff in the computations. We follow the lines of the theory developed by Blum, Shub, and Smale for…

We define an ordinalized version of Kleene's realizability interpretation of intuitionistic logic by replacing Turing machines with Koepke's ordinal Turing machines (OTMs), thus obtaining a notion of realizability applying to arbitrary…

Metric Temporal Logic, $\mtlfull$ is amongst the most studied real-time logics. It exhibits considerable diversity in expressiveness and decidability properties based on the permitted set of modalities and the nature of time interval…

Infinite time Turing machines extend the classical Turing machine concept to transfinite ordinal time, thereby providing a natural model of infinitary computability that sheds light on the power and limitations of supertask algorithms.

By using of analytical multi-logic expresses in conjunction with non-deterministic Turing machine the proposition was proved that algorithm of deterministic Turing counter machine of polynomial time complexity can be decreased to the…

We describe various computational models based initially, but not exclusively, on that of the Turing machine, that are generalized to allow for transfinitely many computational steps. Variants of such machines are considered that have…
