We introduce layered automata, a subclass of alternating parity automata that generalises deterministic automata. Assuming a consistency property, these automata are history deterministic and 0-1 probabilistic. We show that every…

Allen's interval algebra is one of the most well-known calculi in qualitative temporal reasoning with numerous applications in artificial intelligence. Recently, there has been a surge of improvements in the fine-grained complexity of…

We give an active learning algorithm for deterministic one-counter automata (DOCAs) where the learner can ask the teacher membership and minimal equivalence queries. The algorithm called OL* learns a DOCA in time polynomial in the size of…

A language is dense if the set of all infixes (or subwords) of the language is the set of all words. Here, it is shown that it is decidable whether the language accepted by a nondeterministic Turing machine with a one-way read-only input…

In Boolean algebra, it is known that the logical function that corresponds to the negation of the conjunction --NAND-- is universal in the sense that any other logical function can be built based on it. This property makes it essential to…

A well-known theorem of Spencer shows that any set system with $n$ sets over $n$ elements admits a coloring of discrepancy $O(\sqrt{n})$. While the original proof was non-constructive, recent progress brought polynomial time algorithms by…

The notion of Reactive Turing machine (RTM) was proposed as an orthogonal extension of Turing machines with interaction. RTMs are used to define the notion of executable transition system in the same way as Turing machines are used to…

Relativizing computations of Turing machines to an oracle is a central concept in the theory of computation, both in complexity theory and in computability theory(!). Inspired by lowness notions from computability theory, Allender…

In 2015, Guth proved that if $S$ is a collection of $n$ $g$-dimensional semi-algebraic sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and if $D\geq 1$ is an integer, then there is a $d$-variate polynomial $P$ of degree at most $D$ so that each connected component…

In this paper we consider the class of lambda-nondeterministic linear automata as a model of the class of linear languages. As usual in other automata models, lambda-moves do not increase the acceptance power. The main contribution of this…

Ten years ago, Gla{\ss}er, Pavan, Selman, and Zhang [GPSZ08] proved that if P $\neq$ NP, then all NP-complete sets can be simply split into two NP-complete sets. That advance might naturally make one wonder about a quite different potential…

A caveat to many applications of the current Deep Learning approach is the need for large-scale data. One improvement suggested by Kolmogorov Complexity results is to apply the minimum description length principle with computationally…

This paper proposes an alternative language for expressing results of the algorithmic theory of randomness. The language is more precise in that it does not involve unspecified additive or multiplicative constants, making mathematical…

Given a quadratic map Q : K^n -> K^k defined over a computable subring D of a real closed field K, and a polynomial p(Y_1,...,Y_k) of degree d, we consider the zero set Z=Z(p(Q(X)),K^n) of the polynomial p(Q(X_1,...,X_n)). We present a…

In the BCSS model of real number computations we prove a concrete and explicit semi-decidable language to be undecidable yet not reducible from (and thus strictly easier than) the real Halting Language. This solution to Post's Problem over…

We focus our attention onto polynomial-time sub-linear-space computation for decision problems, which are parameterized by size parameters $m(x)$, where the informal term "sub linear" means a function of the form $m(x)^{\varepsilon}\cdot…

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…

In 2005 Kumar studied the Restricted Disjunctive Temporal Problem (RDTP), a restricted but very expressive class of disjunctive temporal problems (DTPs). It was shown that that RDTPs are solvable in deterministic strongly-polynomial time by…

Linear and semidefinite programming (LP, SDP), regularisation through basis pursuit (BP) and Lasso have seen great success in mathematics, statistics, data science, computer-assisted proofs and learning. The success of LP is traditionally…

We study randomness beyond $\Pi^1_1$-randomness and its Martin-L\"of type variant, introduced in \cite{MR2340241} and further studied in \cite{Continuous-higher-randomness}. The class given by the infinite time Turing machines (\ITTM s),…
