Is the collection of primitive recursive functions a lower set in the poset of computable fu...

If $g:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ is primitive recursive and $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ is computable such that $f(n) \leq g(n)$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$, does this imply that $f$ is primitive recursiv …

Computabillity of packing of spheres with different radii

This is a conceptually easier version of a box packing problem I stated earlier. Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $r_1, \ldots, r_n$ be positive integers. We take $r_i$ to be the radius of a sph …

Integers $n$ such that $n^d + (n+1)^d$ is never prime

Let us call an integer $n>0$ pure if for all integers $d>0$ we have that $n^d + (n+1)^d$ is not prime. Is the set of pure integers non-empty? Is it computable?

Computability of a relation connected to the discrete logarithm [closed]

Informally speaking, I was wondering whether the relation $a^k \equiv b \text{ (mod } n)$ for some $k,n$ is computable. More formally: Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of the positive integers a …

Computability of prime difference function

Consider the following function $f: \omega\to \{0,1\}$: Set $f(n) = 1$ if for all $k\in \omega$ there are prime numbers $p,q > k$ such that $n = p-q$, and set $f(n) = 0$ otherwise. (Trivially, if …

Checking for finite fibers in hash functions

Let $\{0,1\}^{<\omega}$ denote the collection of finite binary sequences. By a hash function we mean a computable map $$h: \{0,1\}^{<\omega} \to \{0,1\}^n$$ for some fixed $n\in\omega$. Define $\text{ …

Is this cycling problem computable?

We have a group of $n$ people who must make a journey of length $d$. They are to start together, and their goal is to arrive at the destination at same time. They have a single bicycle, which they rid …

Set of integer matrices $A$ such that $(A^k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$ is eventually periodic

This is a more elegant version of the original version which can be found below; it is based on a suggestion by Peter Mueller. Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of positive integers and for $n\in\mathb …

Possible finite periodicities of "Rule 150" in the infinite setting

"Rule 150" is a fascinating one-dimensional and simple cellular automaton giving raise to some quite chaotic behaviour. This is the starting point of this question. Let $\{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}$ denote the …

Realizability of metric matrices

We call an $n\times n$-matrix ${\bf A}\in \text{Mat}(n\times n, \mathbb{R})$ a metric matrix if ${\bf A}_{ii} = 0$ for all $i\in \{1,\ldots,n\}$, ${\bf A}_{ij} = {\bf A}_{ji}$ for all $i,j \in \{1,\l …

The sequence of the power chromatic numbers $(\chi(G^n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$

For any finite, simple, undirected graphs $G, H$ we denote by $G\times H$ their categorical product. For any graph $G$ we let $G^1 = G$ and for $n\geq 1$ we let $G^{n+1} = G \times G^n$. It is easy to …
