Computational complexity theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation search Computer science Portal As a branch of the theory of computation in computer science computational complexity theory investigates the problems related to the amounts of resources required for the execution of algorithms (e.g., execution time ), and the inherent difficulty in providing efficient algorithms for specific computational problems A typical question of the theory is, "As the size of the input to an algorithm increases, how do the running time and memory requirements of the algorithm change and what are the implications and ramifications of that change?" In other words, the theory, among other things, investigates the scalability of computational problems and algorithms. In particular, the theory places practical limits on what computers can accomplish. An important aspect of the theory is to categorize computational problems and algorithms into complexity classes . The most important open question of complexity theory is whether the complexity class P is the same as the complexity class NP , or is a strict subset as is generally believed. Shortly after the question was first posed, it was realised that many important industry problems in the field of

PATTERN, COMPLEXITY, AND COMPUTATION
The argument-structure of this book is a complex one. We shall begin with the evolution of immune systems, then turn to the evolution of species, and only then return to our main topic of interest, evolutionary processes in the mind and brain. But before we can speak about evolution at all, we will need to discuss a few important background ideas, mostly from theoretical computer science. These ideas are not usually mentioned in connection with evolutionary theory. However, I believe that they are absolutely essential to the understanding of the self-organizing processes involved in evolutionary systems. Let us begin with a simple yet crucial ontological axiom, which Gregory Bateson called the "Metapattern." patterns 1.1 A FORMAL THEORY OF PATTERN In order to make practical use of the Metapattern, we will require a better idea of what a pattern actually is.

Abstract
The research reflected in this dissertation is a study of (computational) pseudo-randomness. More specifically, the main objective of this research is the efficient and simple construction of pseudo-random functions and permutations [GGM,LR], where efficiency refers both to the sequential and parallel time complexity of the computation. Pseudo-random functions and permutations are fundamental cryptographic primitives with many applications in cryptography and more generally in computational complexity.
Constructions of Pseudo-Random Functions
For our constructions of pseudo-random functions, we introduce and study a new cryptographic primitive which we call a pseudo-random synthesizer and a generalization of this primitive which we call a k-dimensional pseudo-random synthesizer. These primitives are of independent interest as well. In addition, we consider various applications of our constructions and study some of the underlying cryptographic assumptions used in these constructions. The main results obtained by this research are:
  • Introducing new cryptographic primitives called pseudo-random synthesizer and k-dimensional pseudo-random synthesizer.

Title: Complexity, parallel computation and statistical physics
Authors: J. Machta (Submitted on 29 Oct 2005) Abstract: The intuition that a long history is required for the emergence of complexity in natural systems is formalized using the notion of depth. The depth of a system is defined in terms of the number of parallel computational steps needed to simulate it. Depth provides an objective, irreducible measure of history applicable to systems of the kind studied in statistical physics. It is argued that physical complexity cannot occur in the absence of substantial depth and that depth is a useful proxy for physical complexity. The ideas are illustrated for a variety of systems in statistical physics.

Certain mathematical problems can't be solved even by high-performance computers. It is logically impossible that there exists a ``perfect'' computer capable of solving all mathematical questions. Why is this? Why are there limitations on computation? Why does our world have this sort of imperfection? I'd like to find the answers to these questions by examining the topic of computation based on mathematical logic.
Complexity of computation
The assessment "impossible to compute" can mean two things. It can indicate that the computation is logically impossible or that the calculation is too complex and would take too long to be feasible. Logically impossible computation can't be done simply due to the nature of computers and computing that's been known since Alan Turing pioneered the idea of modern computers.
On the other hand, not being feasible refers to computer limitations with respect to time and space resources. For example, even the most advanced computer can't factor a 300-digit number in less than several trillion years. Since we can't see the results of this calculation, the attempt is more or less pointless, unless a computer based on a completely new concept is developed and becomes available.

However most of the schemes have problems of collusion attacks. New ID-based non interactive key sharing sheme over elliptic curves was proposed by Ohgishi, Sakai and Kasahara in Nov. 1999. This new scheme realizes a higher security against the collusion attacks. In this paper, we present the algorithms of the construction of the suitable elliptic curves for the new scheme. We also estimate the complexity of computation for new scheme over the suitable elliptic curves. (author abst.) BACK About J-EAST How to use List of Publications ... FAQ

Brief Description of Main Research: The primary area of my research has always been complexity of computation. In 1975 I proved the very first theorem on advantages of randomized algorithms over deterministic ones. Namely, I have proven that randomized Turing machines can use less running time than deterministic ones to compute certain functions. Recently I have developed new powerful methods to prove lower bounds for time and space complexity of randomized algorithms. I have published various results in Inductive Inference. I have tried to use deep methods of classical mathematics for problems in Theoretical Computer Science. I would like to mention the usage of constructive ordinals to measure the complexity of Inductive Inference, and the usage of Group Theory in Inductive Inference.

http://www.designinference.com/documents/2002.07.kurzweil_reply.htm
THE PRIMACY OF THE FIRST PERSON: REPLY TO RAY KURZWEIL By William Dembski I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Micah Sparacio for organizing the discussion of the recently published book Are We Spiritual Machines? as well as Ray Kurzweil for his response to my essay in that book and his willingness to take part in this discussion. My essay in that book was titled "Kurzweil's Impoverished Spirituality" and was essentially a stripped down version of a piece I had done for First Things in which I critiqued both Kurzweil and Nancey Murphy with regard to their materialistic account of human mentality and spirituality. The audience of that periodical would largely have been sympathetic to my case, being generally opposed to materialism. I see now, given Kurzweil's response, that it would have been better to provide a more thorough analysis of his project and a more detailed technical response to his claims. I doubt that it could have been done there with the thoroughness required in the space allotted, and I certainly won't attempt it here. Eventually I will get to it. I want here to outline where our projects diverge and why I find his project unconvincing. Now the predictability of materialism as a philosophical project does not mean that material systems need be predictable. I'm all too aware of

    I've decided the give the blog another go, after a few people got in touch to encourage me to continue (well, two people did...) So, I'll resume posting in the New Year; I can't guarantee the frequency, but posts will hopefully offer a little more depth as a result.

    My Edinburgh talk
    I had a wonderful time at the Edinburgh Book Festival over the weekend; a full venue and books to sign afterwards makes for a happy author! Here is a lightly edited version of what I had to say.
    Indeed, it wasn't until 1994 that someone demonstrated, for the first time, the feasibility of building computers from molecular-scale bits. Feynman's vision had waited, not only for the technology to catch up, but for a person with the required breadth of understanding and the will to try something slightly bizarre. That person was Len Adleman, who won the computer science equivalent of the Nobel Prize for his role in the development of the encryption scheme that protects our financial details whenever we buy something on the Internet. Len has always had an interest in biology; when one of his students showed him a program that could take over other programs and force them to replicate it, Len said “Hmmm.... that looks very much like how a virus behaves.” The student was Fred Cohen, author of the first ever computer virus, and Len's term stuck.

    Abstract
    The AI and HCI communities have often been characterized as having opposing views of how humans and computers should interact. As both of them evolve, there is a deeper contrast that cuts across these communities, in how researchers conceive the relationship between knowledge and design. By examining the rationalistic and design orientations underlying bodies of work in both disciplines, we highlight relevant differences and possibilities for effective interaction with computers.

The most common resources are time (how many steps it takes to solve a problem) and space (how much memory it takes). Other resources can also be considered, such as how many parallel processors are needed to solve a problem in parallel. Complexity theory differs from computability theory, which deals with whether a problem can be solved at all, regardless of the resources required. After the theory explaining which problems can be solved and which cannot be, it was natural to ask about the relative computational difficulty of computable functions. This is the subject matter of computational complexity.
    The time complexity of a problem is the number of steps that it takes to solve an instance of the problem as a function of the size of the input (usually measured in bits), using the most efficient algorithm. The exact number of steps will depend on exactly what machine or language is being used.

    Computational Complexity Theory
    A fundamental area of theoretical computer science is complexity theory, the analysis of the resources needed to solve computational problems. Researchers in this area define computational models, such as Turing machines, Boolean Circuits, Parallel Random Access Machines, etc., and resource measures such as space, parallel time, amount of hardware, etc. A complexity class is then the set of problems solvable in a particular model under particular resource constraints. Models must be simple enough to allow mathematical analysis yet general enough to be useful in a wide context. Perhaps the hardest thing to prove about a computational model is that it cannot solve a given problem within particular resource constraints. Such ``lower bounds'' are currently obtainable only when the model is very specialized or the constraints are very severe. The research project in Low-Level Complexity conducted by our group attempts to attack such problems by determining the relationships between complexity classes defined in various models by such very severe constraints. Another project in complexity research studies the area called Descriptive Complexity . Computational complexity was originally defined in terms of the natural entities of time and space, and the term complexity was used to denote the time or space used in the computation. Rather than checking whether an input satisfies a property S, a more natural question might be, what is the complexity of expressing the property S? These two issues checking and expressing are closely related. It is startling how closely tied they are when the latter refers to expressing the property in first-order logic of finite and ordered structures.

    Talks will be held at the Memorial Hall.
    This year the annual NZMRI summer workshop will be based in beautiful Kaikoura in the South Island of New Zealand. This follows previous workshops in Huia (1994), Tolaga Bay (1996, 1997), Napier (1998) and Raglan (1999). The topic for Kaikoura 2000 will be "Computability, Complexity, and Computational Algebra," although this will be interpreted broadly. As usual, families are invited to come. We especially encourage New Zealand graduate and senior students, and ask that most of the talks be directed at a graduate student level. The standard format is that we have lectures in the morning, the afternoons are left free for individual persuits, families, sightseeing, whale watching, mathematical discussions, and the like, and we have lectures in the early evening after dinner. There will also be one day off (traditionally Wednesday). We have a stellar group of speakers, all of whom are world renowned mathematicians and computer scientists, and very fine speakers. We have asked that the speakers give a series of 1-3 lectures for this workshop, the first two being easily accessible to graduate students.

In fact, "bad news" is a relative term, and, indeed, in some situations (e.g., in cryptography), we want an adversary to not be able to perform a certain task. However, a "bad news" result does not automatically become useful in such a scenario. For this to happen, its hardness features have to be quantitatively evaluated and shown to manifest extensively.
    The book undertakes a quantitative analysis of some of the major results in complexity that regard either classes of problems or individual concrete problems. The size of some important classes are studied using resource-bounded topological and measure-theoretical tools. In the case of individual problems, the book studies relevant quantitative attributes such as approximation properties or the number of hard inputs at each length.

    Preface (tentative, Jan. 2007)
    The strive for efficiency is ancient and universal, as time and other resources are always in shortage. Thus, the question of which tasks can be performed efficiently is central to the human experience. A key step towards the systematic study of the aforementioned question is a rigorous definition of the notion of a task and of procedures for solving tasks. These definitions were provided by computability theory, which emerged in the 1930's. This theory focuses on computational tasks, and considers automated procedures (i.e., computing devices and algorithms) that may solve such tasks. In focusing attention on computational tasks and algorithms, computability theory has set the stage for the study of the computational resources (like time) that are required by such algorithms. When this study focuses on the resources that are necessary for any algorithm that solves a particular task (or a task of a particular type), the study becomes part of the theory of Computational Complexity (also known as Complexity Theory). Complexity Theory is a central field of the theoretical foundations of Computer Science. It is concerned with the study of the

    http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/cgt/hard.html
    Computational Complexity of Games and Puzzles
    Many of the games and puzzles people play are interesting because of their difficulty: it requires cleverness to solve them. Often this difficulty can be shown mathematically, in the form of computational intractibility results: every NP-complete problem is in some sense a puzzle, and conversely many puzzles are NP-complete. Two-player games often have higher complexities such as being PSPACE-complete. WW (pp. 218-219; see references I primarily list here real games and puzzles, games that were invented to be played, rather than to be analyzed. So I'm not including some of the more artificial entries in e.g. WW or GJ , such as "sequential truth assignment". If someone can point me to a tournament for these games, a copy of the game sold in stores, or a program for people to play them against their computers, I'll consider adding them. One caveat: NP-completeness is not a concept that applies to a single puzzle or game position, or even a finite collection of positions. It only makes sense to talk about an infinite family of problems as being NP-complete. For this reason games like chess cannot themselves be NP-complete, as they only have a finite (albeit unthinkably large) number of possible positions. In many cases however there is a natural generalization from some finite game or puzzle to an infinite family of game positions on arbitrarily large game boards, in which it makes sense to talk about NP-completeness. The fact that these infinite generalizations are computationally hard gives us some justification for believing that the original finite games are also hard in some less well-defined sense.

    Computational Complexity and the Anthropic Principle Scott Aaronson Notes for a talk given at the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics, December 15, 2006 When Lenny [Susskind] and Alessandro [Tomasiello] invited me to speak here, I said, "I'll be delighted to, as long you realize that my understanding of string theory is about at the level of Brian Greene's TV show." There's a relevant joke I don't know if you've heard it. A mathematician and an engineer are sitting in on a string theory lecture. The engineer is struggling, while the mathematician is swimming along with no problem. Finally the engineer asks, "How do you do it? How do you visualize these 11-dimensional spaces?" The mathematician says, "It's easy: first I visualize an n-dimensional space, then I set n equal to 11." My background is in theoretical computer science. In this field we don't know anything about 11-dimensional spaces, but we do know something about n-dimensional spaces. So when string theorists talk (as you do now) about a landscape of exponentially many vacua, in some sense you've blundered onto our territory. I guess the first thing I should say is, welcome! What I want to do today is step back from the details of the string-theory Landscape, and tell you what's known about the

    Complexity Theory The theory of classifying problems based on how difficult they are to solve. A problem is assigned to the P-problem (polynomial-time) class if the number of steps needed to solve it is bounded by some power of the problem's size. A problem is assigned to the NP-problem (nondeterministic polynomial-time) class if it permits a nondeterministic solution and the number of steps to verify the solution is bounded by some power of the problem's size. The class of P-problems is a subset of the class of NP-problems , but there also exist problems which are not NP There exists no known P algorithm for graph isomorphism testing, although the problem has also not been shown to be NP-complete . In fact, the problem of identifying isomorphic graphs seems to fall in a crack between P and NP-complete, if such a crack exists (Skiena 1990, p. 181), and as a result, the problem is sometimes assigned to a special graph isomorphism complete complexity class. If a solution is known to an NP-problem , it can be reduced to a single polynomial-time verification. A problem is

    Abstract
    Recent developments in patent law, most notably the effective nullification of the Supreme Court's 1972 Benson decision excluding mathematical algorithms from patentable subject matter, have attempted to reflect an increasingly sophisticated approach to computer science and technology. Despite this, the patent system has continued to disregard computational complexity, an issue of central concern to computer scientists and of strategic importance to U.S. information technology policy. This Article proposes a development of patent scope doctrine that would introduce the issue of computational complexity into patent infringement analysis, thereby encouraging more efficient algorithm design, enhancing public benefits from complementary improvements in computer hardware, and strengthening the institutional competence of the patent system.

    Notions of Complexity: Information-theoretic, Computational and Statistical Approaches Workshop
    7 - 9 October 2004, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
    Overview The theoretical analysis of systems that learn from data has been an important topic of study in statistics, machine learning, and information theory. In all these paradigms, distinct methods have been developed to deal with inference when the models under consideration can be arbitrarily large. Recently, there has been a fruitful cross-fertilization of ideas and proof techniques. To give but one example, very recently, minimax optimal convergence rates of the information-theoretic MDL method were proved using ideas from the - computational - PAC-Bayesian paradigm and - statistical - empirical process techniques. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading theoreticians to allow them to debate, compare and cross-fertilise ideas from these distinct inductive principles. At the workshop, we will establish a PASCAL special interest group for `merging computational and information-theoretic learning with statistics'. Invited Speakers (* - to be confirmed)

    Research on Computational Complexity Theory
    Dieter van Melkebeek
    Given a problem, can we realistically solve it using computers? Complexity theory aims to answer this question by describing how many resources we need to compute the solution as a function of the problem size. Typical resources include time on sequential and parallel architectures, and memory space. As we want to abstract away from details of input representation and specifics of the computer model, we end up with classes of problems which we can solve within certain robust resource bounds. We often focus on decision problems, or equivalently, on recognizing the corresponding language of yes instances. Some of the most well-studied complexity classes are:
    • NC : languages decidable in parallel logarithmic time.
    • L: languages decidable in logarithmic space.
    • NL: languages with logarithmic space membership proof systems.
    • P: languages decidable in polynomial time.
    • NP: languages with polynomial time membership proof systems.
    • PSPACE: languages decidable in polynomial space.
