What is the computational-complexity-theoretic analogue of computable inseparability? For ex...

Disjoint sets $A$ and $B$ are computably inseparable, if there is no computable separating set, a computable set $C$ containing $A$ and disjoint from $B$. The existence of c.e. computably inseparable …

Does every feasible partial order relation on the natural numbers extend to a feasible linea...

It is well known that every partial order on a set can be extended to a linear order on that set. That is, for every partial order $\lhd$ on a set $X$, there is a linear order $\prec$ on $X$ such that …

Is it easy to produce hard-to-color graphs?

This question arises from my recent visit to my daughter's second-grade class, where I led some discussion and activities on graph coloring (see Math for seven-year-olds). In one such activity, each c …

Given a polynomial-time algorithm, can we compute an explicit polynomial time bound just fro...

Question. Given a Turing-machine program $e$, which is guaranteed to run in polynomial time, can we computably find such a polynomial? In other words, is there a computable function $e\mapsto p_e$, s …
