We study the complexity of evaluating positive equality-free sentences of first-order (FO) logic over a fixed, finite structure B. This may be seen as a natural generalisation of the non-uniform quantified constraint satisfaction problem…

We introduce the stack-sorting map $\text{SC}_\sigma$ that sorts, in a right-greedy manner, an input permutation through a stack that avoids some vincular pattern $\sigma$. The stack-sorting maps of Cerbai et al. in which the stack avoids a…

Unlike in TFNP, for which there is an abundance of problems capturing natural existence principles which are incomparable (in the black-box setting), Kleinberg et al. [KKMP21] observed that many of the natural problems considered so far in…

The Hanf number for a set $S$ of sentences in $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$ (or some other logic) is the least infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that for all $\varphi\in S$, if $\varphi$ has models in all infinite cardinalities less than $\kappa$,…

We study complexity of short sentences in Presburger arithmetic (Short-PA). Here by "short" we mean sentences with a bounded number of variables, quantifiers, inequalities and Boolean operations; the input consists only of the integers…

While it was defined long ago, the extension of CTL with quantification over atomic propositions has never been studied extensively. Considering two different semantics (depending whether propositional quantification refers to the Kripke…

Complex logical reasoning tasks require a long sequence of reasoning, which a large language model (LLM) with chain-of-thought prompting still falls short. To alleviate this issue, neurosymbolic approaches incorporate a symbolic solver.…

We prove several results about the relationship between the word complexity function of a subshift and the set of Turing degrees of points of the subshift, which we call the Turing spectrum. Among other results, we show that a Turing…

In this paper we study the complexity of the problems: given a loop, described by linear constraints over a finite set of variables, is there a linear or lexicographical-linear ranking function for this loop? While existence of such…

We model randomized complexity classes in the style of Implicit Computational Complexity. We introduce PSTA, a probabilistic version of STA, the type-theoretical counterpart of Soft Linear Logic. PSTA is a type assignment for an extension…

Given a countable set X (usually taken to be N or Z), an infinite permutation $\pi$ of X is a linear ordering $<_\pi$ of X. This paper investigates the combinatorial complexity of infinite permutations on N associated with the image of…

Deep learning techniques are increasingly popular in the textual entailment task, overcoming the fragility of traditional discrete models with hard alignments and logics. In particular, the recently proposed attention models (Rockt\"aschel…

Despite their successes, deep learning models struggle with tasks requiring complex reasoning and function composition. We present a theoretical and empirical investigation into the limitations of Structured State Space Models (SSMs) and…

We consider countable linear orders and study the quasi-order of convex embeddability and its induced equivalence relation. We obtain both combinatorial and descriptive set-theoretic results, and further extend our research to the case of…

Classical convergence theory of Runge-Kutta methods assumes that the time step is small relative to the Lipschitz constant of the ordinary differential equation (ODE). For stiff problems, that assumption is often violated, and a problematic…

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…

Commonly used proof strategies by automated reasoners organise proof search either by ordering-based saturation or by reducing goals to subgoals. In this paper, we combine these two approaches and advocate a SAT-based method with symmetry…
