We prove a new version of Hall's Harem Theorem, where the final matching is realized by a unary function with additional conditions on behavior of cycles. The present paper can be considered as a helpful companion of the paper of the…

We consider the thesis that an arithmetical relation, which holds for any, given, assignment of natural numbers to its free variables, is Turing-decidable if, and only if, it is the standard representation of a PA-provable formula. We show…

So far, following the works of A.M. Turing, the algorithms were considered as the mathematical abstraction from which we could write programs for computers whose principle was based on the theoretical concept of Turing machine. We start…

This article revisits standard theorems from elementary number theory from a constructive, algorithmic, and proof-theoretic perspective, framed within the theory of computable functionals TCF. Key examples include B\'ezout's identity, the…

The familiar theories of physics have the feature that the application of the theory to make predictions in specific circumstances can be done by means of an algorithm. We propose a more precise formulation of this feature --- one based on…

A rather easy yet rigorous proof of a version of G\"odel's first incompleteness theorem is presented. The version is "each recursively enumerable theory of natural numbers with 0, 1, +, *, =, logical and, logical not, and the universal…

In this document we define a method of proof that we call proof by dichotomy. Its field of application is any proposition on the set of natural numbers N. It consists in the repetition of a step. A step proves the proposition for half of…

We prove that there is no algorithm to tell whether an arbitrarily constructed Quantum Turing Machine has same time steps for different branches of computation. We, hence, can not avoid the notion of halting to be probabilistic in Quantum…

Borrowing inspiration from Marcone and Mont\'{a}lban's one-one correspondence between the class of signed trees and the equimorphism classes of indecomposable scattered linear orders, we find a subclass of signed trees which has an…

The binary Euclidean algorithm is a variant of the classical Euclidean algorithm. It avoids multiplications and divisions, except by powers of two, so is potentially faster than the classical algorithm on a binary machine. We describe the…

The Turing machine halting problem can be explained by several factors, including arithmetic logic irreversibility and memory erasure, which contribute to computational uncertainty due to information loss during computation. Essentially,…

As it follows from G\"odel's incompleteness theorems, any consistent formal system of axioms and rules of inference should imply a true unprovable statement. Actually, this fundamental principle can be efficiently applicable in…

We propose a new cyclic proof system for automated, equational reasoning about the behaviour of pure functional programs. The key to the system is the way in which cyclic proof and equational reasoning are mediated by the use of contextual…

We study exact algorithms for Euclidean TSP in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the early 1990s algorithms with $n^{O(\sqrt{n})}$ running time were presented for the planar case, and some years later an algorithm with $n^{O(n^{1-1/d})}$ running time was…
