A syntactical proof is given that all functions definable in a certain affine linear typed lambda-calculus with iteration in all types are polynomial time computable. The proof provides explicit polynomial bounds that can easily be…
It will be shown that the polynomial time computable numbers form a field, and especially an algebraically closed field.
We provide an implicit characterization of polynomial time computation in terms of ordinary differential equations: we characterize the class $\operatorname{PTIME}$ of languages computable in polynomial time in terms of differential…
We study the computational model of polygraphs. For that, we consider polygraphic programs, a subclass of these objects, as a formal description of first-order functional programs. We explain their semantics and prove that they form a…
Inspired from a joint work by A. Beckmann, S. Buss and S. Friedman, we propose a class of set-theoretic functions, predicatively computable functions. Each function in this class is polynomial time computable when we restrict to finite…
Recursive analysis was introduced by A. Turing [1936], A. Grzegorczyk [1955], and D. Lacombe [1955]. It is based on a discrete mechanical framework that can be used to model computation over the real numbers. In this context the…
Lanford has shown that Feigenbaum's functional equation has an analytic solution. We show that this solution is a polynomial time computable function. This implies in particular that the so-called first Feigenbaum constant is a polynomial…
The class of Basic Feasible Functionals BFF is the second-order counterpart of the class of first-order functions computable in polynomial time. We present several implicit characterizations of BFF based on a typed programming language of…
A computable real function F on [0,1] is constructed such that there exists an exponential time algorithm for the evaluation of the function on [0,1] on Turing machine but there does not exist any polynomial time algorithm for the…
In this paper we prove that parabolic Julia sets of rational functions are locally computable in polynomial time.
This paper introduces a more restrictive notion of feasibility of functionals on Baire space than the established one from second-order complexity theory. Thereby making it possible to consider functions on the natural numbers as running…
Partition functions, also known as homomorphism functions, form a rich family of graph invariants that contain combinatorial invariants such as the number of k-colourings or the number of independent sets of a graph and also the partition…
There is a subset of computational problems that are computable in polynomial time for which an existing algorithm may not complete due to a lack of high performance technology on a mission field. We define a subclass of deterministic…
We study a class of functional problems reducible to computing $f^{(n)}(x)$ for inputs $n$ and $x$, where $f$ is a polynomial-time bijection. As we prove, the definition is robust against variations in the type of reduction used in its…
We introduce a new bounded theory RS^1_2 and show that the functions which are Sigma^b_1-representable in it are precisely random functions which can be computed in polynomial time. Concretely, we pass through a class of oracle functions…
The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…
For any class of operators which transform unary total functions in the set of natural numbers into functions of the same kind, we define what it means for a real function to be uniformly computable or conditionally computable with respect…
We examine two different ways of encoding a counting function, as a rational generating function and explicitly as a function (defined piecewise using the greatest integer function). We prove that, if the degree and number of input…
We show that polynomial time Turing equivalence and a large class of other equivalence relations from computational complexity theory are universal countable Borel equivalence relations. We then discuss ultrafilters on the invariant Borel…
We introduce a variant of linear logic with second order quantifiers and type fixpoints, both restricted to purely linear formulas. The Church encodings of binary words are typed by a standard non-linear type `Church,' while the Scott…
