Computability of the Hahn-Banach Theorem Revisited

Vasco Brattka, Christopher Sorg

Computational properties of the Hahn-Banach theorem have been studied in computable, constructive and reverse mathematics and in all these approaches the theorem is equivalent to w…

Uniform Computability of PAC Learning

Vasco Brattka, Guillaume Chirache

We study uniform computability properties of PAC learning using Weihrauch complexity. We focus on closed concept classes, which are either represented by positive, by negative or b…

Computable Bases

Vasco Brattka, Emmanuel Rauzy

In computable analysis typically topological spaces with countable bases are considered. The Theorem of Kreitz-Weihrauch implies that the subbase representation of a second-countab…

Effective bases and notions of effective second countability in computable analysis

Vasco Brattka, Emmanuel Rauzy

We investigate different notions of "computable topological base" for represented spaces. We show that several non-equivalent notions of bases become equivalent when we consider co…

Loops, Inverse Limits and Non-Determinism

Vasco Brattka

We introduce an operator on problems in Weihrauch complexity, which we call the infinite loop or inverse limit, and which corresponds to an infinite compositional product. This ope…

On the Complexity of Computing Gödel Numbers

Vasco Brattka

Given a computable sequence of natural numbers, it is a natural task to find a Gödel number of a program that generates this sequence. It is easy to see that this problem is neithe…

Weihrauch Complexity and the Hagen School of Computable Analysis

Vasco Brattka

Weihrauch complexity is now an established and active part of mathematical logic. It can be seen as a computability-theoretic approach to classifying the uniform computational cont…

Stashing And Parallelization Pentagons

Vasco Brattka

Parallelization is an algebraic operation that lifts problems to sequences in a natural way. Given a sequence as an instance of the parallelized problem, another sequence is a solu…

The Discontinuity Problem

Vasco Brattka

Matthias Schröder has asked the question whether there is a weakest discontinuous problem in the continuous version of the Weihrauch lattice. Such a problem can be considered as th…

Completion of Choice

Vasco Brattka, Guido Gherardi

We systematically study the completion of choice problems in the Weihrauch lattice. Choice problems play a pivotal role in Weihrauch complexity. For one, they can be used as landma…

A Galois connection between Turing jumps and limits

Vasco Brattka

Limit computable functions can be characterized by Turing jumps on the input side or limits on the output side. As a monad of this pair of adjoint operations we obtain a problem th…

Weihrauch Complexity in Computable Analysis

Vasco Brattka, Guido Gherardi, Arno Pauly

We provide a self-contained introduction into Weihrauch complexity and its applications to computable analysis. This includes a survey on some classification results and a discussi…

The Vitali Covering Theorem in the Weihrauch Lattice

Vasco Brattka, Guido Gherardi, Rupert Hölzl +1

We study the uniform computational content of the Vitali Covering Theorem for intervals using the tool of Weihrauch reducibility. We show that a more detailed picture emerges than…

Computability and Analysis, a Historical Approach

Vasco Brattka

The history of computability theory and and the history of analysis are surprisingly intertwined since the beginning of the twentieth century. For one, Émil Borel discussed his ide…

On the Uniform Computational Content of the Baire Category Theorem

Vasco Brattka, Matthew Hendtlass, Alexander P. Kreuzer

We study the uniform computational content of different versions of the Baire Category Theorem in the Weihrauch lattice. The Baire Category Theorem can be seen as a pigeonhole prin…

On the Uniform Computational Content of Ramsey's Theorem

Vasco Brattka, Tahina Rakotoniaina

We study the uniform computational content of Ramsey's theorem in the Weihrauch lattice. Our central results provide information on how Ramsey's theorem behaves under product, para…

On the Uniform Computational Content of Computability Theory

Vasco Brattka, Matthew Hendtlass, Alexander P. Kreuzer

We demonstrate that the Weihrauch lattice can be used to classify the uniform computational content of computability-theoretic properties as well as the computational content of th…

Probabilistic Computability and Choice

Vasco Brattka, Guido Gherardi, Rupert Hölzl

We study the computational power of randomized computations on infinite objects, such as real numbers. In particular, we introduce the concept of a Las Vegas computable multi-value…

Connected Choice and the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem

Vasco Brattka, Stéphane Le Roux, Joseph S. Miller +1

We study the computational content of the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem in the Weihrauch lattice. Connected choice is the operation that finds a point in a non-empty connected closed…

Randomness and Differentiability

Vasco Brattka, Joseph S. Miller, André Nies

We characterize some major algorithmic randomness notions via differentiability of effective functions. (1) As the main result we show that a real number z in [0,1] is computably r…
