This is the English version of the paper: "Complejidad de los n\'umeros naturales", Gaceta de la Real Sociedad Matem\'atica Espa\~nola 3 (2000) 230--250. In this paper, several conjectures about the complexity of natural numbers are…
The complexity $\Vert n\Vert$ of a natural number is the least number of $1$ needed to represent $n$ using the 5 symbols $(, ), *, +, 1$. A natural number $n$ is called stable is $\Vert 3^kn\Vert =\Vert n\Vert +3k$. For each natural number…
This is a collection of 1031 formulas that were generated by a computer program in 1992. The set is the database of integer sequences as of 1992 which contained 4568 sequences. These sequences were later published in the Encyclopedia of…
We present three algorithms to compute the complexity $\Vert n\Vert$ of all natural numbers $ n\le N$. The first of them is a brute force algorithm, computing all these complexities in time $O(N^2)$ and space $O(N\log^2 N)$. The main…
The integer complexity $f(n)$ of a positive integer $n$ is defined as the minimum number of 1's needed to represent $n$, using additions, multiplications and parentheses. We present two simple and faster algorithms for computing the integer…
Infinite sequences are of tremendous theoretical and practical importance, and in the Information Age sequences of 0s and 1s are of particular interest. Over the past century, the field of symbolic dynamics has developed to study sequences…
We consider the rooted trees which not have isomorphic representation and introduce a conception of complexity a natural number also. The connection between quantity such trees with $n$ edges and a complexity of natural number $n$ is…
Given a computable sequence of natural numbers, it is a natural task to find a G\"odel number of a program that generates this sequence. It is easy to see that this problem is neither continuous nor computable. In algorithmic learning…
The question of integer complexity asks about the minimal number of $1$'s that are needed to express a positive integer using only addition and multiplication (and parentheses). In this paper, we propose the notion of $l$-complexity of…
We consider a problem first proposed by Mahler and Popken in 1953 and later developed by Coppersmith, Erd\H{o}s, Guy, Isbell, Selfridge, and others. Let $f(n)$ be the complexity of $n \in \mathbb{Z^{+}}$, where $f(n)$ is defined as the…
There is no single definition of complexity (Edmonds 1999; Gershenson 2008; Mitchell 2009; De Domenico, et al., 2019), as it acquires different meanings in different contexts. A general notion is the amount of information required to…
Sequence A000975 in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) starts out 1, 2, 5, 10, 21, 42, 85, ... . As of July 1, 2016, the description in the OEIS lists several characterizations of this sequence and numerous examples of…
We present a practical implementation based on Newton's method to find all roots of several families of complex polynomials of degrees exceeding one billion ($10^9$) so that the observed complexity to find all roots is between $O(d\ln d)$…
We consider representing of natural numbers by arithmetical expressions using ones, addition, multiplication and parentheses. The (integer) complexity of n -- denoted by ||n|| -- is defined as the number of ones in the shortest expressions…
This paper presents a new representation of natural numbers and discusses its consequences for computability and computational complexity. The paper argues that the introduction of the first Peano axiom in the traditional definition of…
V.I. Arnold has recently defined the complexity of a sequence of $n$ zeros and ones with the help of the operator of finite differences. In this paper we describe the results obtained for almost most complicated sequences of elements of a…
In this paper, we analyze the complexity of functional programs written in the interaction-net computation model, an asynchronous, parallel and confluent model that generalizes linear-logic proof nets. Employing user-defined sized and…
In this paper, we introduce a variation of the factor complexity, called the $N$-factor complexity, which allows us to characterize the complexity of sequences on an infinite alphabet. We evaluate precisely the $N$-factor complexity for the…
The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…
We show that there is a very simple approach to determine the 2-adic complexity of periodic binary sequences with ideal two-level autocorrelation. This is the first main result by H. Xiong, L. Qu, and C. Li, IEEE Transactions on Information…
