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…
In this paper we explore fundamental concepts in computational complexity theory and the boundaries of algorithmic decidability. We examine the relationship between complexity classes \textbf{P} and \textbf{NP}, where $L \in \textbf{P}$…
In the paper we present results to develop an irreducible theory of complex systems in terms of self-organization processes of prime integer relations. Based on the integers and controlled by arithmetic only the self-organization processes…
We study the asymptotics and fine-scale behavior of quantitative combinatorial measures of infinite words and related dynamical and algebraic structures. We construct infinite recurrent words $w$ whose complexity functions $p_w(n)$ are…
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, we consider the unconstrained submodular maximization problem. We propose the first algorithm for this problem that achieves a tight $(1/2-\varepsilon)$-approximation guarantee using $\tilde{O}(\varepsilon^{-1})$ adaptive…
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…
Drucker (2012) proved the following result: Unless the unlikely complexity-theoretic collapse coNP is in NP/poly occurs, there is no AND-compression for SAT. The result has implications for the compressibility and kernelizability of a whole…
In this manuscript, we derive the principle of conservation of computational complexity. We measure computational complexity as the number of binary computations (decisions) required to solve a problem. Every problem then defines a unique…
For first-order optimization of non-convex functions with Lipschitz continuous gradient and Hessian, the best known complexity for reaching an $\varepsilon$-approximation of a stationary point is $\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-7/4})$. Existing…
The finiteness problem for automaton groups and semigroups has been widely studied, several partial positive results are known. However we prove that, in the most general case, the problem is undecidable. We study the case of automaton…
We demonstrate that any logical problem can be solved by Bayesian inference. In this approach, the distinction between complexity classes vanishes. The method is illustrated by solving the 3-SAT problem in polynomial time. Beyond this,…
We characterize the complexity functions of subshifts up to asymptotic equivalence. The complexity function of every aperiodic function is non-decreasing, submultiplicative and grows at least linearly. We prove that conversely, every…
