Resource-bounded measure and randomness; degree structures in local degree theory; compressibility of infinite binary sequences; beyond Godel's theorem - the failure to capture information content; progressions of theories of bounded arithmetic; on presentations of algebraic structures; witness-isomorphic reductions and local search; a survey of inductive inference with an emphasis on queries; a uniformity of degree structures; short course on logic, algebra, and topology; the convenience of Tiling. (Part contents).

Editorial Reviews

Integrates two classical approaches to computability, recursion and complexity, to examine recent research and results at the interface of logic, computability theory, and theoretical computer science. Among the topics are resource-bounded measure and randomness, degree structures in local degree theory, presentations of algebraic structures, inductive inference emphasizing queries, and the convenience of tilings. The 12 lectures were presented at three workshops between the beginning of 1994 and the end of 1996. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
