An important tool in the study of the complexity of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) is the notion of a relational clone, which is the set of all relations expressible using primitive positive formulas over a particular set of base…
A problem $\mathcal{P}$ is considered downward self-reducible, if there exists an efficient algorithm for $\mathcal{P}$ that is allowed to make queries to only strictly smaller instances of $\mathcal{P}$. Downward self-reducibility has been…
We present quantitative logics with two-step semantics based on the framework of quantitative logics introduced by Arenas et al. (2020) and the two-step semantics defined in the context of weighted logics by Gastin & Monmege (2018). We show…
Ko [RAIRO 24, 1990] and Bruschi [TCS 102, 1992] showed that in some relativized world, PSPACE (in fact, ParityP) contains a set that is immune to the polynomial hierarchy (PH). In this paper, we study and settle the question of…
Let $X$ be a Borel subset of the Cantor set \textbf{C} of additive or multiplicative class ${\alpha},$ and $f: X \to Y$ be a continuous function with compact preimages of points onto $Y \subset \textbf{C}.$ If the image $f(U)$ of every…
Let A be a finite alphabet and let L contained in (A*)^n be an n-variable language over A. We say that L is regular if it is the language accepted by a synchronous n-tape finite state automaton, it is quasi-regular if it is accepted by an…
We analyse how the standard reductions between constraint satisfaction problems affect their proof complexity. We show that, for the most studied propositional, algebraic, and semi-algebraic proof systems, the classical constructions of…
In this paper, we define and study variants of several complexity classes of decision problems that are defined via some criteria on the number of accepting paths of an NPTM. In these variants, we modify the acceptance criteria so that they…
We study point-separating function sets that are minimal with respect to the property of being separating. We first show that for a compact space $X$ having a minimal separating function set in $C_p(X)$ is equivalent to having a minimal…
Recent advancements in large language models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across various NLP tasks. But many questions remain, including whether open-source models match closed ones, why these models excel or struggle with…
We study when low coordinate degree functions (LCDF) -- linear combinations of functions depending on small subsets of entries of a vector -- can hypothesis test between high-dimensional probability measures. These functions are a…
For an odd prime $p$ and polynomial $P(T)$, we consider the extension $F$ of $k={\mathbb F}_p(T)$ defined by adjoining a root of $x^p+Tx-P(T)$. Such a field is a function field analogue of the number field ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt[p]{n})$. We…
We study a new class of NP search problems, those which can be proved total using standard combinatorial reasoning based on approximate counting. Our model for this kind of reasoning is the bounded arithmetic theory $\mathrm{APC}_2$ of…
Polynomial closure is a standard operator which is applied to a class of regular languages. In the paper, we investigate three restrictions called left (LPol), right (RPol) and mixed polynomial closure (MPol). The first two were known while…
We consider some distinguished classes of elements of a multiplicative lattice endowed with coarse lower topologies, and call them lower spaces. The primary objective of this paper is to study the topological properties of these lower…
We demonstrate a compactness result holding broadly across supervised learning with a general class of loss functions: Any hypothesis class $H$ is learnable with transductive sample complexity $m$ precisely when all of its finite…
We study a reduct L\ast of the ring language where multiplication is restricted to a neighbourhood of zero. The language is chosen such that for p-adically closed fields K, the L\ast-definable subsets of K coincide with the semi-algebraic…
Floyd's Operator Precedence (OP) languages are a deterministic context-free family having many desirable properties. They are locally and parallely parsable, and languages having a compatible structure are closed under Boolean operations,…
We study the complexity of valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSP). A problem from VCSP is characterised by a \emph{constraint language}, a fixed set of cost functions over a finite domain. An instance of the problem is specified by…
