Complexity classes for BSS machines
Given a first-order structure $\mathcal{S}$, a Blum-Shub-Smale machine on $\mathcal{S}$ is essentially a Turing machine where
Cells on the tape can hold arbitrary elements of $\mathcal{S}$.
The ...

Computational complexity of zeros of an analytic function
The work of Friedman and Ko, page 342, Corollary 4.3.1
states that all zeros of analytic polynomial time computable function are polynomial time computable, but for me that is not clear how it could ...

About "natural proof" of Razborov and Rudich
The famous "Natural Proof" paper ,http://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/natural.pdf , of Razborov and Rudich gives a barrier for any proof that try to separate P and NP. It mainly shows that if ...

Lower Bound of Solutions to P=NP?
Do we at least know that simulating polynomial time non-deterministic Turing machines requires more than a linear slowdown? That is, do we know there is some non-deterministic Turing machine with ...

Is this variant of post correspondence problem undecidable?
The post correspondence problem, as defined by wikipedia, is undecidable. The problem is defined as follows.
Let $A$ be an alphabet with at least two symbols. The input of the problem consists of ...

Buridan's principle in computable analysis
In (Lamport, 2012), Lamport proposes the principle
A discrete decision based upon an input
having a continuous range of values cannot be made within a bounded length of time.
I think it could be ...

Sudden drop in complexity class due to the more general correlations
Recently I was asking about the impact of the groundbreaking result MIP*=RE on logic and proof theory (see this discussion). Surprising as it is I got confused with the following: MIP* is a ,,quantum''...
