Rice's theorem shows that nontrivial extensional properties of partial recursive functions are undecidable. For finite weighted Boolean optimization/CSP-style slices, a Rice-style structural analogue holds for tractability classification:…

We introduce the $\Sigma_1$-definable universal finite sequence and prove that it exhibits the universal extension property amongst the countable models of set theory under end-extension. That is, (i) the sequence is $\Sigma_1$-definable…

In contrast with the notion of complexity, a set $A$ is called anti-complex if the Kolmogorov complexity of the initial segments of $A$ chosen by a recursive function is always bounded by the identity function. We show that, as for…

In the present paper we prove a certain lemma about the structure of "lower level-sets of convolutions", which are sets of the form $\{x \in \Z_N : 1_A*1_A(x) \leq \gamma N\}$ or of the form $\{x \in \Z_N : 1_A*1_A(x) < \gamma N\}$, where…

A lattice $L$ is said lowly finite if the set $[\mathsf{0},a]$ is finite for every element $a$ of $L$. We mainly aim to provide a complete proof that, if $M$ is a subset of a complete lowly finite distributive lattice $L$ containing its…

We identify a structural property of term-rewriting proof systems called operational inexpressibility: no derivation depends on a specified input dimension and also constrains the target question. The canonical instance is direct…

The Levi-Civita field $\mathcal{R}$ is the smallest non-Archimedean ordered field extension of the real numbers that is real closed and Cauchy complete in the topology induced by the order. In this paper we develop a new theory of…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

In this work we generalize primitive recursion in order to construct a hierarchy of terminating total recursive operators which we refer to as {\em leveled primitive recursion of order $i$}($\mathbf{PR}_{i}$). Primitive recursion is…

We provide a finite basis for the (in)equational theory of the process algebra BCCS modulo the weak failures preorder and equivalence. We also give positive and negative results regarding the axiomatizability of BCCS modulo weak impossible…

Let $\mathbf{M}$ be the basic set theory that consists of the axioms of extensionality, emptyset, pair, union, powerset, infinity, transitive containment, $\Delta_0$-separation and set foundation. This paper studies the relative strength of…

For exponentially closed ordinals $\alpha$, we consider recognizability of constructible subsets of $\alpha$ for $\alpha$-(w)ITRMs and their distribution in the constructible hierarchy. In particular, for $\alpha$-ITRMs, we show that, there…

A combinatorial principle CECA is formulated and its equivalence with GCH+ certain weakenings of Box_lambda for singular lambda is proved. CECA is used to show that certain ``almost point- < tau'' families can be refined to point- < tau…

We develop our method to prove quantum superintegrability of an integrable 2D system, based on recurrence relations obeyed by the eigenfunctions of the system with respect to separable coordinates. We show that the method provides rigorous…

We introduce an interesting method of proving separable reduction theorems - the method of elementary submodels. We are studying whether it is true that a set (function) has given property if and only if it has this property with respect to…

We study complexity measures on subsets of the boolean hypercube and exhibit connections between algebra (the Hilbert function) and combinatorics (VC theory). These connections yield results in both directions. Our main complexity-theoretic…

This work is motivated by the problem of finding the limit of the applicability of the first incompleteness theorem ($\sf G1$). A natural question is: can we find a minimal theory for which $\sf G1$ holds? We examine the Turing degree…

Hereditarily finite sets (sets which are finite and have only hereditarily finite sets as members) are basic mathematical and computational objects, and also stand at the basis of some programming languages. This raises the need for…
