Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
there are 36 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
Course objectives
The course introduces basic approaches and methods for classification of problems with respect to their algorithmic solvability. It explores theoretical and practical limits of the use of computers and the implications that these limitations have for the developent of information technology.
At the end of the course, the students will be able: to understand basic notions of computability and complexity; to understand the main techniques used to classify problems (reductions, diagonalisation, closure properties), and to apply them in some simple cases.
Learning outcomes
After enrolling the course student will be able to:
- use asymptotic notation, both actively and passively;
- explain difference between complexity of an algorithm and of a problem;
- independently decide to which complexity class a given problem belongs;
- do practical decisions based on a complexity classification of a particular problem;
- explain that some problems are not computable, give examples of such problems;
- explain the difference between various classes of not-computable problems;
Syllabus
  • Algorithms and models of computation. Church thesis.
  • Classification of problems. Decidable, undecidable, and partially decidable problems. Computable functions.
  • Closure properties. Rice theorems.
  • Computational complexity. Feasible and unfeasible problems.
  • Reduction and completeness in problem classes. Many-one reduction and polynomial reduction. Complete problems with respect to decidability, NP-complete problems. Applications.

After enrolling the course student will be able to: - use asymptotic notation, both actively and passively;
- explain difference between complexity of an algorith and of a problem.;
- independently decid to which complexity class given problem belongs;
- do practical decisions based on a complexity classification of a paticular problem;
- explain that some problems are not computable, give examples of such problems;
- explain the difference between various classes of not-computable problems;

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
there are 23 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
Course objectives
The course introduces basic approaches and methods for classification of problems with respect to their algorithmic solvability. It explores theoretical and practical limits of computers usage and consequences these limitations have for advancing information technologies.
The main goals are: to understand basic notions of computability and complexity; to understand the main techniques used to classify problems (reductions, diagonalisation, closure properties).
Syllabus
  • Algorithms and models of computation. Church thesis.
  • Classification of problems. Decidable, undecidable and partially decidable problems. Computable functions.
  • Closure properties. Rice theorems.
  • Computational complexity. Feasible and unfeasible problems. Polynomial computational thesis.
  • Reduction a completeness in problem classes. Many-one reduction and polynomial reduction. Complete problems with respect to decidability, NP-complete problems. Applications.
