A strong version of Cobham's theorem

Philipp Hieronymi
(Universitat Bonn)
Abstract

Let $k,l>1$ be two multiplicatively independent integers. A subset $X$ of $\mathbb{N}^n$ is $k$-recognizable if the set of $k$-ary representations of $X$ is recognized by some finite automaton. Cobham's famous theorem states that a subset of the natural numbers is both $k$-recognizable and $l$-recognizable if and only if it is Presburger-definable (or equivalently: semilinear). We show the following strengthening. Let $X$ be $k$-recognizable, let $Y$ be $l$-recognizable such that both $X$ and $Y$ are not Presburger-definable. Then the first-order logical theory of $(\mathbb{N},+,X,Y)$ is undecidable. This is in contrast to a well-known theorem of Büchi that the first-order logical theory of $(\mathbb{N},+,X)$ is decidable. Our work strengthens and depends on earlier work of Villemaire and Bès. The essence of Cobham's theorem is that recognizability depends strongly on the choice of the base $k$. Our results strengthens this: two non-Presburger definable sets that are recognizable in multiplicatively independent bases, are not only distinct, but together computationally intractable over Presburger arithmetic. This is joint work with Christian Schulz.

EUROPT (EURO Working Group on Continuous Optimization) honours outstanding researchers in continuous optimization by awarding an annual EUROPT Fellowship.

The Fellowship is presented to the awarded researcher at the EUROPT Workshop where they are invited to present the EUROPT Fellowship Lecture. This year's workshop will be held on 23-25 August at the Corvinus University of Budapest in Hungary.

Maths Corner Poster

 

If you're a Prelims student, don't miss the final Hilary session of The Maths Corner! Come along to the Mezz Study Room at 11am on Tuesday for snacks, studying, and maybe even some socialising. 

As you all may know, the past two Fridays@2 sessions have been on exams preparation. While this is important, it's equally important to take care of your health and wellbeing as we approach the start of the revision period. Therefore, the Week 8 Fridays@2 session is focused on wellbeing.
