Chapter
We devise and analyze the bit-cost of solvers for linear evolutionary systems of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with given analytic initial conditions. Our algorithms are rigorous in that they produce approximations to the solution up to guaranteed absolute error \(1/2^n\) for any desired number n of output bits. Previous work has shown that...
Article
Full-text available
We give a number of formal proofs of theorems from the field of computable analysis. Many of our results specify executable algorithms that work on infinite inputs by means of operating on finite approximations and are proven correct in the sense of computable analysis. The development is done in the proof assistant Coq and heavily relies on the In...
Preprint
We investigate a variant of the fuel-based approach to modeling diverging computation in type theories and use it to abstractly capture the essence of oracle Turing machines. The resulting objects we call continuous machines. We prove that it is possible to translate back and forth between such machines and names in the standard function encoding u...
Article
Full-text available
Motivated by recent results of Kapron and Steinberg (LICS 2018) we introduce new forms of iteration on length in the setting of applied lambda-calculi for higher-type poly-time computability. In particular, in a type-two setting, we consider functionals which capture iteration on input length which bound interaction with the type-one input paramete...

Chapter
In this work we put forward a complexity class of type-two linear-time. For such a definition to be meaningful, a detailed protocol for the cost of interactions with functional inputs has to be fixed. This includes some design decisions the defined class is sensible to and we carefully discuss our choices and their implications. We further discuss...
Conference Paper
This paper provides an alternate characterization of second-order polynomial-time computability, with the goal of making second-order complexity theory more approachable. We rely on the usual oracle machines to model programs with subroutine calls. In contrast to previous results, the use of higher-order objects as running times is avoided, either...
Chapter
Real complexity theory is a resource-bounded refinement of computable analysis and provides a realistic notion of running time of computations over real numbers, sequences, and functions by relying on Turing machines to handle approximations of arbitrary but guaranteed absolute error. Classical results in real complexity show that important numeric...
Article
Full-text available
This paper compares different representations (in the sense of computable analysis) of a number of function spaces that are of interest in analysis. In particular subspace representations inherited from a larger function space are compared to more natural representations for these spaces. The formal framework for the comparisons is provided by Weih...

Article
We extend the framework for complexity of operators in analysis devised by Kawamura and Cook (2012) to allow for the treatment of a wider class of representations. The main novelty is to endow represented spaces of interest with an additional function on names, called a parameter, which measures the complexity of a given name. This parameter genera...
Article
This paper introduces a more restrictive notion of feasibility of functionals on Baire space than the established one from second-order complexity theory. Thereby making it possible to consider functions on the natural numbers as running times of oracle Turing machines and avoiding second-order polynomials, which are notoriously difficult to handle...
Article
This paper presents a variation of a celebrated result of Kawamura and Cook specifying the least set of information about a continuous function on the unit interval which is needed for fast function evaluation. To make the above description precise, one has to specify what is considered a "set of information" about a function and what "fast" means....
Article
We extend the framework by Kawamura and Cook for investigating computational complexity for operators occurring in analysis. This model is based on second-order complexity theory for functions on the Baire space, which is lifted to metric spaces by means of representations. Time is measured in terms of the length of the input encodings and the requ...
Article
This paper investigates second-order representations in the sense of Kawamura and Cook for spaces of integrable functions that regularly show up in analysis. It builds upon prior work about the space of continuous functions on the unit interval: Kawamura and Cook introduced a representation inducing the right complexity classes and proved that it i...
Article
The last years have seen an increasing interest in classifying (existence claims in) classical mathematical theorems according to their strength. We pursue this goal from the refined perspective of computational complexity. Specifically, we establish that rigorously solving the Dirichlet Problem for Poisson's Equation is in a precise sense ‘complet...
Conference Paper
We promote the theory of computational complexity on metric spaces: as natural common generalization of (i) the classical discrete setting of integers, binary strings, graphs etc. as well as of (ii) the bit-complexity theory on real numbers and functions according to Friedman, Ko (1982ff), Cook, Braverman et al.; as (iii) resource-bounded refinemen...
Conference Paper
Pour-El and Richards [PER89], Weihrauch [Weih00], and others have extended Recursive Analysis from real numbers and continuous functions to rather general topological spaces. This has enabled and spurred a series of rigorous investigations on the computability of partial differential equations in appropriate advanced spaces of functions. In order t...
Conference Paper
This paper considers several representations of the analytic functions on the unit disk and their mutual translations. All translations that are not already computable are shown to be Weihrauch equivalent to closed choice on the natural numbers. Subsequently some similar considerations are carried out for representations of polynomials. In this cas...
Conference Paper
We introduce, and initiate the study of, average-case bit-complexity theory over the reals: Like in the discrete case a first, naïve notion of polynomial average runtime turns out to lack robustness and is thus refined. Standard examples of explicit continuous functions with increasingly high worst-case complexity are shown to be in fact easy in th...
