In this paper we introduce a notion of counting problems over the real numbers. We follow the approaches of Blum et al. (1998) for computability over R and of Gr adel and Meer (1996) for descriptive complexity theory in this setting and give a complete characterization of such problems by logical me

β¦ Synopsis
An interpretation of star free expressions over the reals is provided. The expressive power of star free expressions is compared to the expressive power of monadic ΓΏrst-order logic of order over the reals. It is proved that these formalisms have the same expressive power. This result provides a generalization of the classical McNaughton-Papert theorem (1971) from the ΓΏnite orders to the order of the reals.

## Abstract We survey the research performed in the last few years on a specific topic: the power of real machines over binary inputs. This research attempts to characterize the classes of decision problems over a finite alphabet β say {0,1} β which can be decided by real machines working under sev
In this paper we show that Shannon's general purpose analog computer (GPAC) is equivalent to a particular class of recursive functions over the reals with the flavour of Kleene's classical recursive function theory. We first consider the GPAC and several of its extensions to show that all these mod
We prove some results about existence of NP-complete and NP-hard (for Turing reductions) sparse sets on different settings over the real numbers.
