... One of the most interesting of the serious definitions of complexity is that of the minimum possible length of a description in some language, also called Kolmogorov 7 complexity 8 . The language is frequently taken to be that of a Turing machine. Thus if a description can be greatly compressed with ...

... Problem 3 (Irreducible and prime elements). Let R be an imaginary quadratic integer ring. (i) Prove that a prime element in R is irreducible. (ii) Prove that any nonzero non-unit in R is a product of irreducible elements of R. In other words, irreducible factorizations always exist in R. (iii) Prove ...

Parallel Computation
... If there is a parallelization, A, of a sequential algorithm that works in O(f(n)), such that the time complexity of A is g(n), then there is a parallelization, B, of the same algorithm f (n) such that B works in O(g(n)) and uses processors g (n) ...
