Theorems in computational complexity theory | Structural complexity theory

Savitch's theorem

In computational complexity theory, Savitch's theorem, proved by Walter Savitch in 1970, gives a relationship between deterministic and non-deterministic space complexity. It states that for any function , In other words, if a nondeterministic Turing machine can solve a problem using space, a deterministic Turing machine can solve the same problem in the square of that space bound. Although it seems that nondeterminism may produce exponential gains in time (as formalized in the unproven exponential time hypothesis), Savitch's theorem shows that it has a markedly more limited effect on space requirements.

Proof: Supremum and Infimum are Unique | Real Analysis

If a subset of the real numbers has a supremum or infimum, then they are unique! Uniqueness is a tremendously important property, so although it is almost complete trivial as far as difficulty goes in this case, we would be ill-advised to not prove these properties! In this lesson we'll be

The Gaussian isoperimetric inequality gives a sharp lower bound on the Gaussian surface area of any set in terms of its Gaussian measure. Its dimension-independent nature makes it a powerful tool for proving concentration inequalities in high dimensions. We will explore several consequence

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Definition of Supremum and Infimum of a Set | Real Analysis

What are suprema and infima of a set? This is an important concept in real analysis, we'll be defining both terms today with supremum examples and infimum examples to help make it clear! In short, a supremum of a set is a least upper bound. An infimum is a greatest lower bound. It is easil

Epsilon Definition of Supremum and Infimum | Real Analysis

We prove an equivalent epsilon definition for the supremum and infimum of a set. Recall the supremum of a set, if it exists, is the least upper bound. So, if we subtract any amount from the supremum, we can no longer have an upper bound. The infimum of a set, if it exists, if the greatest

Abstract: In the mid-90’s, generalising a theorem of Jouanolou, Hrushovski proved that if a D-variety over the constant field C has no non-constant D-rational functions to C, then it has only finitely many D-subvarieties of codimension one. This theorem has analogues in other geometric con
