It's about time: Real-time logics reviewed
[chapter]
1998
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Our main focus is on tableau constructions for model checking linear temporal formulas with timing constraints. ...
In particular, we nd that a great deal of real-time veri cation can be performed in polynomial space, but also that considerable care must be exercised in order to keep the real-time veri cation problem ...
The author thanks Jean-Francois Raskin for several valuable suggestions on a draft of this paper, Prasad Sistla for repeatedly pointing out the importance of polynomial-space fragments of real-time logics ...

Is Polynomial Time Choiceless?
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A long time ago, Yuri Gurevich made precise the problem of whether there is a logic capturing polynomial-time on arbitrary finite structures, and conjectured that no such logic exists. ...
Nevertheless, together with Andreas Blass and Saharon Shelah, he has also proposed what still seems to be the most promising candidate for a logic for polynomial time, namely Choiceless Polynomial Time ...

Choiceless polynomial time
1999
Annals of Pure and Applied Logic
This question can be recast as follows: Does there exist a logic that captures polynomial time (without presuming the presence of a linear order)? Earlier, one of us conjectured a negative answer. ...
Turing machines deÿne polynomial time (PTime) on strings but cannot deal with structures like graphs directly, and there is no known, easily computable string encoding of isomorphism classes of structures ...
Bipartite Matching is not inCPTime + . Proof. We can use exactly the same proof as for Theorem 43, because the two structures used in that proof had the same cardinality. ...

Efficient timed model checking for discrete-time systems
2006
Theoretical Computer Science
Two semantics for DTGs are presented and motivated. We consider timed versions of CTL where subscripts put quantitative constraints on the time it takes before a property is satisfied. ...
Without exact durations, model checking can be done in polynomial time, but with exact durations, it becomes p 2 -complete or PSPACE-complete depending on the considered semantics. ...
Acknowledgments We thank Jeremy Sproston for discussing the proof of Theorem 5.3 with us, and the anonymous referees for their useful remarks. ...

Elementary Linear Logic Revisited for Polynomial Time and an Exponential Time Hierarchy
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We characterize in this way the class P of polynomial time predicates and more generally the hierarchy of classes k-EXP, for k ≥ 0, where k-EXP is the union of DTIME(2 n i k ), for i ≥ 1. ...
Elementary linear logic is a simple variant of linear logic, introduced by Girard and which characterizes in the proofs-as-programs approach the class of elementary functions (computable in time bounded ...
The author would like to thank Jean-Yves Girard whose initial question, whether P could be characterized in elementary linear logic, triggered this work. ...

Soft linear logic and polynomial time
2004
Theoretical Computer Science
We present a subsystem of second-order linear logic with restricted rules for exponentials so that proofs correspond to polynomial time algorithms, and vice versa. ...
If a predicate on boolean strings is computable by a Turing machine in polynomial time P(n) and in polynomial space Q(n), there is a generic proof for the sequent S (deg P+deg Q+1) B which corresponds ...
Soft linear logic can be seen as a subsystem of bounded linear logic which is powerful enough to encode polynomial time. It is simpler than bounded linear logic and light linear logic. ...

Insignificant Choice Polynomial Time
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In the late 1980s Gurevich conjectured that there is no logic capturing PTIME, where logic has to be understood in a very general way comprising computation models over structures. ...
Such a version of polynomially bounded ASMs, which we call insignificant choice polynomial time (ICPT) will indeed capture PTIME. ...
Acknowledgements I am grateful to Egon Börger and Flavio Ferrarotti for carefully reading my manuscript and making many suggestions for improvement. ...

Time, Hardware, and Uniformity

Complexity Theory Retrospective II
We describe three orthogonal complexity measures: parallel time, amount of hardware, and degree of non-uniformity, which together parametrize most complexity classes. ...
A fairly simple picture arises in which the basic questions in complexity theory | solved and unsolved | can be understood as questions about tradeo s among these three dimensions. ...
Thanks also to Chi-Jen Lu, Ken Regan, and Zhi-Li Zhang for valuable discussions. ...

The punch-line of the development is that a very simple modification of the basic algorithm reduces its computational complexity from exponential time to polynomial time relative to the size of the given ...

Solving 3-SAT and 3-dimensional matching in polynomial time
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
We show how the implementation of conservative logic gates on flow networks suggests a way to solve 3SAT and 3-dimensional matching problems in polynomial time by using standard minimum-cost flow methods ...
But a valid solution can be found very efficiently (in polynomial time) by transforming the problem into a maximum flow problem. ...
Several algorithms exist that can solve minimum cost flows efficiently (polynomial both in time and in space), like the "minimum-mean cycle-canceling" algorithm [ref 1, 2] .

A Fragment of Dependence Logic Capturing Polynomial Time
2014
Logical Methods in Computer Science
Therefore we define an even smaller fragment D-Horn* and show that over finite successor structures it captures the complexity class P of all sets decidable in polynomial time. ...
Furthermore we study the question which of our results can ge generalized to the case of open formulae of D-Horn* and so-called downwards monotone polynomial time properties of teams. ...
We say that a class D of structures is downwards closed with respect to R if for every structure A the following holds: if A ∈ D and Q ⊆ R A then A ′ ∈ D, where A ′ arises from A by replacing R A by Q. ...
