The P versus NP problem is studied under the relational model of E. F. Codd. I found that the term "complete configuration" is unnecessary and harmful in computational complexity theory because of excessive symbol redundancy. For an input,…

Probabilistic circuits (PCs) are a unifying representation for probabilistic models that support tractable inference. Numerous applications of PCs like controllable text generation depend on the ability to efficiently multiply two circuits.…

We describe the basic theory of infinite time Turing machines and some recent developments, including the infinite time degree theory, infinite time complexity theory, and infinite time computable model theory. We focus particularly on the…

The Chinese Remainder Theorem for the integers says that every system of congruence equations is solvable as long as the system satisfies an obvious necessary condition. This statement can be generalized in a natural way to arbitrary…

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…

In order to prove that the P of problems is different to the NP class, we consider the satisfability problem of propositional calculus formulae, which is an NP-complete problem. It is shown that, for every search algorithm A, there is a set…

We address two sets of long-standing open questions in probability theory, from a computational complexity perspective: divisibility of stochastic maps, and divisibility and decomposability of probability distributions. We prove that finite…

Do complexity classes have many-one complete sets if and only if they have Turing-complete sets? We prove that there is a relativized world in which a relatively natural complexity class-namely a downward closure of NP, \rsnnp - has…

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 previous work, we have combined computable structure theory and algorithmic learning theory to study which families of algebraic structures are learnable in the limit (up to isomorphism). In this paper, we measure the computational power…

In this paper we study the problem of deciding whether two disjoint semialgebraic sets of an algebraic variety over R are separable by a polynomial. For that we isolate a dense subfamily of Spaces of Orderings, named Geometric, which…

We describe a method for determining a complete set of integrals for a classical Hamiltonian that separates in orthogonal subgroup coordinates. As examples, we use it to determine complete sets of integrals, polynomial in the momenta, for…

Proving lower bounds remains the most difficult of tasks in computational complexity theory. In this paper, we show that whereas most natural NP-complete problems belong to NLIN (linear time on nondeterministic RAMs), some of them,…
