In [Acta Math. Univ. Comenianae Vol. LXXX, 1 (2011), pp. 63--70], Yang, Chen and Shi examined the system of difference equations \[ x_n=\frac{a}{y_{n-p}},\qquad y_n=\frac{by_{n-p}}{x_{n-q}y_{n-q}},\qquad n=0,1,\ldots, \] where $q$ is a…

We consider N-complexes as functors over an appropriate linear category in order to show first that the Krull-Schmidt Theorem holds, then to prove that amplitude cohomology only vanishes on injective functors providing a well defined…

We study a class of quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs), called {\em diagonal QCQPs\/}, which contain no off-diagonal terms $x_j x_k$ for $j \ne k$, and we provide a sufficient condition on the problem data guaranteeing…

In our thesis, we try to shed more light onto the complexity of quantum complexity classes by refining the related part of the hierarchy. First, we review the basic concepts of quantum computing in general. Then, inspired by BQP, we define…

We consider conjunctive queries with arithmetic comparisons (CQAC) and investigate the computational complexity of the problem: Given two CQAC queries, $Q$ and $Q'$, is $Q'$ contained in $Q$? We know that, for CQAC queries, the problem of…

Can the computational complexity theory of computer science and mathematics say something new about unresolved problems in quantum physics? Particularly, can the P versus NP question in the computational complexity theory be a factor in the…

C.M. Bender and G. V. Dunne showed that linear combinations of words $q^{k}p^{n}q^{n-k}$, where $p$ and $q$ are subject to the relation $qp - pq = \imath$, may be expressed as a polynomial in the symbol $z = \tfrac{1}{2}(qp+pq)$. Relations…

We review the Consistent Amplitude approach to Quantum Theory and argue that quantum probabilities are explicitly Bayesian. In this approach amplitudes are tools for inference. They codify objective information about how complicated…

This article finds the answer to the question: for any problem from which a non-deterministic algorithm can be derived which verifies whether an answer is correct or not in polynomial time (complexity class NP), is it possible to create an…

The objective of the consistent-amplitude approach to quantum theory has been to justify the mathematical formalism on the basis of three main assumptions: the first defines the subject matter, the second introduces amplitudes as the tools…

We study the computational complexity of fundamental problems over the $p$-adic numbers ${\mathbb Q}_p$ and the $p$-adic integers ${\mathbb Z}_p$. Gu\'epin, Haase, and Worrell proved that checking satisfiability of systems of linear…

Does the notion of a quantum randomized or nondeterministic algorithm make sense, and if so, does quantum randomness or nondeterminism add power? Although reasonable quantum random sources do not add computational power, the discussion of…

We combine the classical notions and techniques for bounded query classes with those developed in quantum computing. We give strong evidence that quantum queries to an oracle in the class NP does indeed reduce the query complexity of…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ be a field with embeddings into $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We propose an algorithm that generates continued fraction expansions converging in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and is expected to simultaneously converge…

We introduce the monoidal closed category qCPO of quantum cpos, whose objects are "quantized" analogs of omega-complete partial orders (cpos). The category qCPO is enriched over the category CPO of cpos, and contains both CPO, and the…

The polynomial-time hierarchy ($\mathrm{PH}$) has proven to be a powerful tool for providing separations in computational complexity theory (modulo standard conjectures such as $\mathrm{PH}$ does not collapse). Here, we study whether two…

In this article we introduce a new complexity class called PQMA_log(2). Informally, this is the class of languages for which membership has a logarithmic-size quantum proof with perfect completeness and soundness which is polynomially close…

Let A be an idempotent algebra on a finite domain. By mediating between results of Chen and Zhuk, we argue that if A satisfies the polynomially generated powers property (PGP) and B is a constraint language invariant under A (that is, in…

When it comes to NP, its natural definition, its wide applicability across scientific disciplines, and its timeless relevance, the writing is on the wall: There can be only one. Quantum NP, on the other hand, is clearly the apple that fell…

We consider a variant of a question of N. Koblitz. For an elliptic curve $E/\Q$ which is not $\Q$-isogenous to an elliptic curve with torsion, Koblitz has conjectured that there exists infinitely many primes $p$ such that…
