Summary

The course provides an exact basis for the notions of algorithmic computability nad complexity with which the students are familiar on a more or less intuitive level from their master studies. It is devoted to some advanced areas in computability and complexity (like decidability of logical theories, probabilistic algorithms, parallel computation, etc.)

Subject syllabus:

Přednášky: Intuitivní pojem algoritmu a efektivní vyčíslitelné funkce. Různé matematické formalizace těchto pojmů (především Turingovy stroje a částečně rekurzivní funkce). Idea univerzálního algoritmu. Hlavní myšlenky důkazu ekvivalence uvedených matematických formalizací, Churchova teze. Problém zastavení (Halting problem), Postův korespondenční problém a další algoritmicky nerozhodnutelné problémy. Univerzální funkce, Kleeneho věta o normální formě. Rekurzivní a rekurzivně spočetné množiny, Postova věta. Věta o rekurzi, Riceova věta. Rekurzivní převeditelnost. Kreativní množiny. Rozhodnutelnost logických teorií. Časová a prostorová složitost algoritmů a problémů. P-NP problém. NP-úplnost a PSPACE-úplnost. EXPTIME, EXPSPACE, dokazatelně nezvládnutelné problémy. Aproximační algoritmy, pravděpodobnostní algoritmy. Paralelní a distribuované algoritmy. Další témata (např. alternace, krypografie, ...)
