A recent paper (van Rooij et al. 2024) claims to have proved that achieving human-like intelligence using learning from data is intractable in a complexity-theoretic sense. We point out that the proof relies on an unjustified assumption…

Consider a translation-invariant system of linear equations $V x = 0$ of complexity one, where $V$ is an integer $r \times t$ matrix. We show that if $A$ is a subset of the primes up to $N$ of density at least $C(\log\log N)^{-1/25t}$,…

In a recent paper, Jason P. Bell and Jeffrey Shallit introduced the notion of {\em Lie complexity} and proved that the Lie complexity function of an automatic sequence is automatic. In this note, we give more facts concerning Lie complexity…

The $N$th linear complexity of a sequence is a measure of predictability. Any unpredictable sequence must have large $N$th linear complexity. However, in this paper we show that for $q$-automatic sequences over $\mathbb{F}_q$ the converse…

In this paper the reason why entropy reduction (negentropy) can be used to measure the complexity of any computation was first elaborated both in the aspect of mathematics and informational physics. In the same time the equivalence of…

To each one-dimensional subshift $X$, we may associate a winning shift $W(X)$ which arises from a combinatorial game played on the language of $X$. Previously it has been studied what properties of $X$ does $W(X)$ inherit. For example, $X$…

Every automaton can be decomposed into a cascade of basic prime automata. This is the Prime Decomposition Theorem by Krohn and Rhodes. Guided by this theory, we propose automata cascades as a structured, modular, way to describe automata as…
