Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The theory of algorithms is a part of computer science connected to the development of fast effective algorithms for various classes of tasks of Mathematics and its applications to practical aspects of human activity, such as information defense, searching and sorting algorithms in database systems, machine learning, etc.

Theoretical aspects of the theory of algorithms include such directions as classification of algorithms by their complexity, study of unsolvable problems, elaboration of special algorithms for quantum computers, and so on.

This Special Issue looks for novel developments in both theoretical and practical aspects of the theory of algorithms, including:

  • Complexity theory of algorithms;
  • Recursion theory and algebraic aspects of algorithms structures;
  • Elaboration of fast algorithms for practical tasks in computer science;
  • Cryptographic algorithms for reliable cyphering of crucial data;
  • Algorithms for breaking computer ciphers;
  • Novel algorithms for quantum computers.

When realized on computational devices with finite quantities of memory, feedforward artificial neural networks and the functions they compute cease being abstract mathematical objects and turn into executable programs generating concrete computations. To differentiate between feedforward artificial neural networks and their functions as abstract mathematical objects and the realizations of these networks and functions on finite memory devices, we introduce the categories of general and actual computabilities and show that there exist correspondences, i.e., bijections, between functions computable by trained feedforward artificial neural networks on finite memory automata and classes of primitive recursive functions.

Propofol and fentanyl are commonly used agents for the induction of anesthesia, and are often associated with hemodynamic disturbances. Understanding pharmacodynamic impacts is vital for parasympathetic and sympathetic tones during the anesthesia induction period. Inspired by the thermodynamic interaction between drug concentrations and effects, we established a machine-learning-based response surface model (MLRSM) to address this predicament. Then, we investigated and modeled the biomedical phenomena in the autonomic nervous system. Our study prospectively enrolled 60 patients, and the participants were assigned to two groups randomly and equally. Group 1 received propofol first, followed by fentanyl, and the drug sequence followed an inverse procedure in Group 2. Then, we extracted and analyzed the spectrograms of electrocardiography (ECG) and pulse photoplethysmography (PPG) signals after induction of propofol and fentanyl. Eventually, we utilized the proposed MLRSM to evaluate the relationship between anesthetics and the integrity/balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity by employing the power of high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) bands and PPG amplitude (PPGA). It is worth emphasizing that the proposed MLRSM exhibits a similar mathematical form to the conventional Greco model, but with better computational performance. Furthermore, the MLRSM has a theoretical foundation and flexibility for arbitrary numbers of drug combinations. The modeling results are consistent with the previous literature. We employed the bootstrap algorithm to inspect the results’ consistency and measure the various statistical fluctuations. Then, the comparison between the modeling and the bootstrapping results was used to validate the statistical stability and the feasibility of the proposed MLRSM. Full article

This paper shows some of the differences and similarities between computation and hypercomputation, the similarities relating to the complexity of propositional computation and the differences being the propositions that can be decided computationally or hypercomputationally. The methods used are ordinal Turing machines with infinitely long programs and diagonalization out of computing complexity classes. The main results are the characterization of inequalities of run time complexities of serial, indeterministic serial and parallel computers and hypercomputers and the specification of a hierarchy of hypercomputers that can hypercompute the truths of all propositions in the standard class model of set theory, the von Neumann hierarchy of pure sets.
