We show that, for all reasonable functions $T(n)=o(n\log n)$, we can algorithmically verify whether a given one-tape Turing machine runs in time at most $T(n)$. This is a tight bound on the order of growth for the function $T$ because we…

For graphs $G$ and $T$, and a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ let $\mathrm{ex}(G,T,\mathcal{F})$ denote the maximum possible number of copies of $T$ in an $\mathcal{F}$-free subgraph of $G$. We investigate the algorithmic aspects of…

We construct examples of finitely generated decidable group presentations that satisfy certain combinations of solvability for the word problem, solvability for the bounded word problem, and computablity for the Dehn function. We prove that…

In recent years, quantitative complexity over semirings has been intensively investigated. In this context, Eiter and Kiesel (Semiring Reasoning Frameworks in AI and Their Computational Complexity, J. Artif. Intell. Res., 2023) introduced…

We consider a version of geometric programming problem consisting in minimizing a function given by the maximum of finitely many log-Laplace transforms of discrete nonnegative measures on a Euclidean space. Under a coerciveness assumption,…

We prove that the word problem of a finitely generated group $G$ is in NP (solvable in polynomial time by a non-deterministic Turing machine) if and only if this group is a subgroup of a finitely presented group $H$ with polynomial…

The complexity class $NP$ can be logically characterized both through existential second order logic $SO\exists$, as proven by Fagin, and through simulating a Turing machine via the satisfiability problem of propositional logic SAT, as…

Attribute grammars (AGs) are a formal technique for defining semantics of programming languages. Existing complexity proofs on the circularity problem of AGs are based on automata theory, such as writing pushdown acceptor and alternating…

In this paper we consider the time and the crossing sequence complexities of one-tape off-line Turing machines. We show that the running time of each nondeterministic machine accepting a nonregular language must grow at least as n\log n, in…

Let $G =<S>$ be a solvable permutation group of the symmetric group $S_n$ given as input by the generating set $S$. We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that computes an \emph{expanding generating set} of size $\tilde{O}(n^2)$…

We present a computation model based on a subclass of GP 2 graph programs which can simulate any off-line Turing machine of space complexity O(s(n) log s(n)) in space O(s(n)). The simulation only requires a quadratic time overhead. Our…

The (Non-Preemptive) Throughput Maximization problem is a natural and fundamental scheduling problem. We are given $n$ jobs, where each job $j$ is characterized by a processing time and a time window, contained in a global interval $[0,T)$,…

We determine the complexity of counting models of bounded size of specifications expressed in Linear-time Temporal Logic. Counting word models is #P-complete, if the bound is given in unary, and as hard as counting accepting runs of…

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 $L \in \textbf{P}$…

Using nonstandard analysis, we will extend the classical Turing machines into the internal Turing machines. The internal Turing machines have the capability to work with infinite ($*$-finite) number of bits while keeping the finite…

Computing the Euler genus of a graph is a fundamental problem in graph theory and topology. It has been shown to be NP-hard by [Thomassen '89] and a linear-time fixed-parameter algorithm has been obtained by [Mohar '99]. Despite extensive…

Let $\mathrm{WP}_G$ denote the word problem in a finitely generated group $G$. We consider the complexity of $\mathrm{WP}_G$ with respect to standard deterministic Turing machines. Let $\mathrm{DTIME}_k(t(n))$ be the complexity class of…

Given a stable SISO LTI system $G$, we investigate the problem of estimating the $\mathcal{H}_\infty$-norm of $G$, denoted $||G||_\infty$, when $G$ is only accessible via noisy observations. Wahlberg et al. recently proposed a nonparametric…

A seminal result of H\r{a}stad [J. ACM, 48(4):798--859, 2001] shows that it is NP-hard to find an assignment that satisfies $\frac{1}{|G|}+\varepsilon$ fraction of the constraints of a given $k$-LIN instance over an abelian group, even if…

While prior work established a verifier-based polynomial-time framework for NP, explicit deterministic machines for concrete NP-complete problems have remained elusive. In this paper, we construct fully specified deterministic Turing…
