How do they verify a verifier of formalized proofs?
In an unrelated thread Sam Nead intrigued me by mentioning a formalized proof of the Jordan curve theorem. I then found that there are at least two, made on two different systems. This is quite an ach …

A decision problem concerning Diophantine inequalities
It is undecidable. If you could solve this, you could also solve Hilbert's 10th problem.
Suppose we have an algorithm solving your problem for all $n$. Given a polynomial $p\in\mathbb[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, …

Is equivalence of functions built from nested exponentiations a decidable problem?
This is a justification of the algorithm suggested in Dan Turetsky's comment.
Every expression in $E$ reduces to an expression in $E'$ which is the minumum language such that $x\in E'$ and $x^{(p_1*\ …

A set that can be covered by arbitrarily small intervals
Let $X$ be a subset of the real line and $S=\{s_i\}$ an infinite sequence of positive numbers. Let me say that $X$ is $S$-small if there is a collection $\{I_i\}$ of intervals such that the length of …
