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