Inspired by Solomonoffs theory of inductive inference, we propose a prior based on circuit complexity. There are several advantages to this approach. First, it relies on a complexity measure that does not depend on the choice of UTM. There…

This article expands our work in [Ca16]. By its reliance on Turing computability, the classical theory of effectivity, along with effective reducibility and Weihrauch reducibility, is only applicable to objects that are either countable or…

Computational problems can be classified according to their algorithmic complexity, which is defined based on how the resources needed to solve the problem, e.g. the execution time, scale with the problem size. Many problems in…

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…

In this paper, we tackle the problem of automatically generating algorithms for linear algebra operations by taking advantage of problem-specific knowledge. In most situations, users possess much more information about the problem at hand…

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 work we investigate the Weihrauch degree of the problem $\mathsf{DS}$ of finding an infinite descending sequence through a given ill-founded linear order, which is shared by the problem $\mathsf{BS}$ of finding a bad sequence…

We investigate enumerability properties for classes of sets which permit recursive, lexicographically increasing approximations, or left-r.e. sets. In addition to pinpointing the complexity of left-r.e. Martin-L\"{o}f, computably, Schnorr,…

Complex systems, ranging from soft materials to wireless communication, are often organised as random geometric networks in which nodes and edges evenly fill up the volume of some space. Studying such networks is difficult because they…

It is known that quantum computers yield a speed-up for certain discrete problems. Here we want to know whether quantum computers are useful for continuous problems. We study the computation of the integral of functions from the classical…

Quantum computation is frequently mischaracterized as the simultaneous execution of exponentially many classical computations. This article offers a conceptual clarification of why this ``branchwise parallelism'' picture is misleading,…

We consider the learning of algorithmic tasks by mere observation of input-output pairs. Rather than studying this as a black-box discrete regression problem with no assumption whatsoever on the input-output mapping, we concentrate on tasks…
