Recently a great deal of attention has focused on quantum computation following a sequence of results suggesting that quantum computers are more powerful than classical probabilistic computers. Following Shor's result that factoring and the…

There exists a family $\{B_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha<\omega_1}$ of sets of countable ordinals such that o $\max B_{\alpha}=\alpha$, o if $\alpha\in B_{\beta}$ then $B_{\alpha}\subseteq B_{\beta}$, o if $\lambda\leq \alpha$ and $\lambda$ is a limit…

The CMI Millennium "P vs NP Problem" can be resolved e.g. if one shows at least one counterexample to the conjecture "P is equal to NP". A certain class of problems being such counterexamples is formulated. This implies the rejection of the…

We prove that, for many parameterized problems in the class FPT, the existence of polynomial kernels implies the collapse of the W-hierarchy (i.e., W[P] = FPT). The collapsing results are also extended to assumed exponential kernels for…

The question of whether all problems in NP class are also in P class is generally considered one of the most important open questions in mathematics and theoretical computer science as it has far-reaching consequences to other problems in…

In order to establish the computational equivalence between quantum Turing machines (QTMs) and quantum circuit families (QCFs) using Yao's quantum circuit simulation of QTMs, we previously introduced the class of uniform QCFs based on an…

The $P$ versus $NP$ problem is still unsolved. But there are several oracles with $P$ unequal $NP$ relative to them. Here we will prove, that $P\not=NP$ relative to a $P$-complete oracle. In this paper, we use padding arguments as the proof…

In this paper we explore fundamental concepts in computational complexity theory and the boundaries of algorithmic decidability. We examine the relationship between complexity classes \textbf{P} and \textbf{NP}, where $L \in \textbf{P}$…

In this article, we discuss the question of whether P equals NP, we do not follow the line of research of many researchers, which is to try to find such a problem Q, and the problem Q belongs to the class of NP-complete, if the problem Q is…

One way of suggesting that an NP problem may not be NP-complete is to show that it is in the class UP. We suggest an analogous new approach---weaker in strength of evidence but more broadly applicable---to suggesting that concrete~NP…

The class TotP consists of functions that count the number of all paths of a nondeterministic polynomial-time Turing machine. In this paper, we give a predicate based definition of TotP, analogous to a standard definition of #P. From a new…

Infinite time Turing machines extend the operation of ordinary Turing machines into transfinite ordinal time. By doing so, they provide a natural model of infinitary computability, a theoretical setting for the analysis of the power and…

In this paper, we take a closer look at Czerwinski's "${\rm P}\neq{\rm NP}$ relative to a ${\rm P}$-complete oracle" [Cze23]. There are (uncountably) infinitely-many relativized worlds where ${\rm P}$ and ${\rm NP}$ differ, and it is…

We show that alternating Turing machines, with a novel and natural definition of acceptance, accept precisely the inductive (Pi-1-1) languages. Total alternating machines, that either accept or reject each input, accept precisely the…

In this paper, we study the relationship of parametrised enumeration complexity classes defined by Creignou et al. (MFCS 2013). Specifically, we introduce two hierarchies (IncFPTa and CapIncFPTa) of enumeration complexity classes for…

One can fix the randomness used by a randomized algorithm, but there is no analogous notion of fixing the quantumness used by a quantum algorithm. Underscoring this fundamental difference, we show that, in the black-box setting, the…

We construct an increasing $\omega$-sequence $(a_n)$ of Turing degrees which forms an initial segment of the Turing degrees, and such that each~$a_{n+1}$ is diagonally noncomputable relative to $a_n$. It follows that the~$\mathsf{DNR}$…
