Term modal logics (TML) are modal logics with unboundedly many modalities, with quantification over modal indices, so that we can have formulas of the form $\exists y. \forall x. (\Box_x P(x,y) \supset\Diamond_y P(y,x))$. Like First order…

Separation is a classical problem asking whether, given two sets belonging to some class, it is possible to separate them by a set from a smaller class. We discuss the separation problem for regular languages. We give a Ptime algorithm to…

We distinguish finitarily between algorithmic verifiability, and algorithmic computability, to show that Goedel's 'formally' unprovable, but 'numeral-wise' provable, arithmetical proposition [(Ax)R(x)] can be finitarily evidenced as:…

Scaling existing applications and solutions to multiple human languages has traditionally proven to be difficult, mainly due to the language-dependent nature of preprocessing and feature engineering techniques employed in traditional…

We consider natural cardinal invariants hm_n and prove several duality theorems, saying roughly: if I is a suitably definable ideal and provably cov(I)>=hm_n, then non(I) is provably small. The proofs integrate the determinacy theory,…

This work deals with the definability problem by quantifier-free first-order formulas over a finite algebraic structure. We show the problem to be coNP-complete and present two decision algorithms based on a semantical characterization of…

When can two regular word languages K and L be separated by a simple language? We investigate this question and consider separation by piecewise- and suffix-testable languages and variants thereof. We give characterizations of when two…

Though English sentences are typically inflexible vis-\`a-vis word order, constituents often show far more variability in ordering. One prominent theory presents the notion that constituent ordering is directly correlated with constituent…

We study two modifications of the Post Correspondence Problem (PCP), namely 1) the bi-infinite version, where it is asked whether there exists a bi-infinite word such that two given morphisms agree on it, and 2) the conjugate version, where…

Can a problem undecidable with classical resources be decidable with quantum ones? The answer expected is no; as both being Turing theories, they should not solve the Halting problem - a problem unsolvable by any Turing machine. Yet, we…

We propose the Transcendental Encoding Conjecture for decision problems, which asserts that every language in complexity class P encodes to an algebraic real (possibly rational or algebraic irrational) under its binary characteristic…

Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a prominent specification formalism for real-time systems. In this paper, we show that the satisfiability problem for MTL over finite timed words is decidable, with non-primitive recursive complexity. We also…

We prove that NL is strictly contained in P. We get this separation as a corollary of the following result: the set of context-free languages is not contained in NL. The reader should recall that CFL is contained in DTIME(n^3)

It is shown that graph-theoretic problem CLIQUE can't be solved in polynomial time by any deterministic TM. This upgrades the well-known partial result that claims only monotone unsolvability thereof, and eventually implies P $\neq$ NP as…

Independence of premise principles play an important role in characterizing the modified realizability and the Dialectica interpretations. In this paper we show that a great many intuitionistic set theories are closed under the…

A resource-bounded version of the statement "no algorithm recognizes all non-halting Turing machines" is equivalent to an infinitely often (i.o.) superpolynomial speedup for the time required to accept any coNP-complete language and also…

We show that the first-order logical theory of the binary overlap-free words (and, more generally, the ${\alpha}$-free words for rational ${\alpha}$, $2 < {\alpha} \leq 7/3$), is decidable. As a consequence, many results previously obtained…
