We consider the average-case complexity of some otherwise undecidable or open Diophantine problems. More precisely, we show that the following two problems can be solved in the complexity class PSPACE: (I) Given polynomials f_1,...,f_m in…

We study systems of functional equations whose solutions can be parameterized in function of one variable; our main result proves that the partition regularity (PR) of such systems can be completely characterized by the existence of…

To prove that Hilbert's tenth problem over a ring R has a negative answer, usually the integers or another ring for which Hilbert's tenth problem has a negative solution is modelled inside the ring of interest. In this paper, we formalize…

We prove a refined version of Markov's theorem in Diophantine approximation. More precisely, we characterize completely the set of irrationals $x$ such that $\left|x-\frac{p}{q}\right|<\frac{1}{3q^2}$ has only finitely many rational…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and $p$ be an odd prime which splits in $K$. Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be elliptic curves over $K$ such that the $Gal(\bar{K}/K)$-modules $E_1[p]$ and $E_2[p]$ are isomorphic. We show that under certain…

Recursive formulas are derived for the number of solutions of linear and quadratic Diophantine equations with positive coefficients. This result is further extended to general non-linear additive Diophantine equations. It is shown that all…

We prove that the pattern matching problem is undecidable in polymorphic lambda-calculi (as Girard's system F) and calculi supporting inductive types (as G{\"o}del's system T) by reducing Hilbert's tenth problem to it. More generally…

In this paper we first review the history of Hilbert's Tenth Problem, and then study mixed quantifier prefixes over Diophantine equations with integer variables. For example, we prove that $\forall^2\exists^4$ over $\mathbb Z$ is…

We prove a complexity dichotomy for a class of counting problems expressible as bipartite 3-regular Holant problems. For every problem of the form $\operatorname{Holant}\left(f\mid =_3 \right)$, where $f$ is any integer-valued ternary…

We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…

We consider Diophantine inequalities of the kind |f(x)| \le m, where F(X) \in Z[X] is a homogeneous polynomial which can be expressed as a product of d homogeneous linear forms in n variables with complex coefficients and m\ge 1. We say…

Inspired by Quantum Mechanics, we reformulate Hilbert's tenth problem in the domain of integer arithmetics into either a problem involving a set of infinitely coupled differential equations or a problem involving a Shr\"odinger propagator…

Diophantine approximation is the problem of approximating a real number by rational numbers. We propose a version of this in which the numerators are approximately related to the denominators by a Laurent polynomial. Our definition is…

The satisfiability problem for multilevel syllogistic extended with the Cartesian product operator (MLSC) is a long-standing open problem in computable set theory. For long, it was not excluded that such a problem were undecidable, due to…
