 Decidability- and Complexity Classes
 

Time and place:

Thursday 8:30-10:00, K 123A. The first lecture will be on March 11.

Contents:

This course is based on 326303: Computability Theory. The topics to be covered are:
  • Reducibility relations: Post's problem and the arithmetical hierarchy. This belongs to the area of classical recursion theory.
  • Undecidablity results in the realm of word problems and the theory of elementary arithmetic.
  • Abstract complexity theory: Blum's complexity theory, subrecursive hierarchies, and complexity theory for Turing machines.
  • Basic theory of NP-completeness.

Literature:

Lectures notes will be handed out.
