53. 53 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Turing Computability 1) countable sets The notion of computability can be defined for example with Turing machine or general purpose programming languages Actual computers, as well as Turing machines, deal with finite data only The set of finite words over a finite alphabet is countable Recall : a set is said countable if it has the cardinality of N

54. 54 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Turing Computability 1) countable sets Usual Turing computability consider input and output as elements of a countable set, such as: – integers, dyadic, rational, algebraic numbers, – piecewise rational or more generally finite evaluation trees functions defined with such coefficients, – finite combinatorial structures A problem is said computable if there exists a Turing Machine able, being given any admissible input, to answer the correct output after a finite time.

55. 55 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Turing Computability 2) uncountable sets For uncountable sets with the cardinality of R, the notion of Turing computability comes with a topology or a metric : –Example : R, R n, C k, L p, (K,d H ), etc... –need a dense countable subset for metric spaces –countable base of neighbourhoods for general topology

56. 56 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Turing Computability on countable sets (2) A sequence (n i ) of integers is said computable if there exists a Turing machine (a program if you prefer) that, given any integer i given as input, is able to compute (n i ) after a finite time. This notion extends to any countable set as far as a computable enumeration of the set is given. Such an enumeration exists for dyadic numbers.

57. 57 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Turing Computability (2): uncountable sets Let us consider the number . Even if it belongs to the uncountable set of real numbers, it is Turing computable, that is: there exists a program that, given any integer i as input, computes a dyadic number d i such that: |  - d i | < 2 -i

58. 58 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Semi-computable real numbers A real number x is said lower semi-computable if it is the least upper bound of a computable sequence of dyadic numbers: x =sup {d i, i  N } A real number x is said upper semi-computable if it is the greatest lower bound of a computable sequence of dyadic numbers: x =inf {d i, i  N }

59. 59 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Computable real numbers A real number is said computable if it is both lower and upper semi-computable. Equivalently, a real number x is computable if and only if there exists a computable sequence of dyadic numbers d i such that: |x - d i | < 2 -i The set of computable real numbers is countable. However, you have probably never met a non computable real number !

60. 60 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier A non computable semi- computable real numbers a i is a computable increasing sequence of dyadic numbers and x is the limit of (a i ) but x is not computable.

61. 61 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Recursive analysis Recursive analysis is the discipline examining computability (and complexity) in the Turing model of computation for real numbers, real functions, and, more generally, elements of uncountable sets. (Marian.B. Pour-El, K Weihrauch, V. Brattka,P. Hertling ) In this framework, inputs and outputs are represented by infinite approximating sequences (approximating for a given metric or topology). The approximations belong to a dense and countable subset (for which finite representations exist).

62. 62 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier recursive analysis The predicate, for any (computable) real number x : x == 0 is semi-decidable two meanings : topology (sequence of approximation of real numbers) computability (  halting problem !) Modèles de calcul

64. 64 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Domains A domain is a mathematical structure for data types or operators representing incomplete or uncertain information.(Dana Scott, Abbas Edalat) It is a partially ordered set (D,  ) where the partial order corresponds to some notion of information. “A  B” means “the information represented by A is contained in the information represented by B”.

65. 65 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Domains The natural topology of continuous domains, called Scott topology, is upward closed (any increasing sequence has a lub) A map between domain is Scott continuous iff it is increasing and preserves lub Point fix theorems (comes from –calulus) Efficient to define the best continuous approximation of a given map

66. 66 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier The Boolean domain An example is the Boolean domain {true, false,  } of the Boolean values true and false together with a least element  (“bottom”)  below both. One thinks of  here as the undefined Boolean value that represents “no information at all”.  truefalse   Any open set containing  contains the whole set {true, false,  }

67. 67 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier The Interval domain (1) Another example is the interval domain I[0,1]. It is the set of all non empty real intervals [a,b], with 0  a  b  1, with the reverse inclusion order : [a,b]  [a’,b’]  [a,b]  [a’,b’] The interval [a,b] represent an information on a real number: “x belongs to [a,b]”. Then if [a,b] contains [a’,b’], the information [a’,b’] refines (contains) the information [a,b].

68. 68 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier The Interval domain (2) The maximal elements of the interval domain I[0,1] are the [x, x] intervals and can be identified to real numbers.  [a,b] [a’,b’] aa’b’0b1  

69. 69 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier The Interval domain (3) For any open subset  of [0,1], the set of interval contained in  is open. Theses open sets form basis of the Scott topology of I[0,1]. The restriction of this topology to maximal elements is the natural topology of [0,1]. The Scott Topology for the interval domain I[0,1] is defined as follow:

70. 70 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier  -continuous domains A basis B of a domain D is a kind of dense subset : every element x of D is the least upper bound of the set of elements of B below x. Particular domains, called  -continuous domains have a countable basis: I[0,1] is an  -continuous domains the subset of intervals with dyadic bounds is a countable basis.

71. 71 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Computable elements of domains Given an effective enumeration of the basis, an element of an  -continuous domains is said computable if it is the least upper bound of a computable sequence of elements of the basis. For example an interval of I[0,1] is computable if and only if its left (resp. right) bound is a lower (resp. upper) semi- computable real number.

72. 72 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Computable comparison operator on the interval domain Neg : I[-1,1]  {true, false,  }  false if a > 0 Neg([a,b])=  trueif b < 0   else This function is, in some precise meaning, the best continuous (computable) approximation of the real numbers comparison operator.

75. 75 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier The Solid Domain The solid domain S[0,1] n of the unit cube [0,1] n  R n is the set of ordered pairs (A, B) of open subsets of [0,1] n with A  B=Ø, endowed with the information order: (A 1, B 1 )  (A 2, B 2 )  A 1  A 2 and B 1  B 2 The elements of S[0,1] n are called partial solids.

78. 78 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Continuous membership predicates: [0,1] n  {true, false,  } Any open set containing  contains the whole set {true, false,  }

79. 79 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Regular sets (1) The regularization of a subset X of R d is the the closure of the interior of X. Regular sets are sets equal to their regularization. Regular sets have been introduced by Requicha to define a model for solids closed under regularized Boolean operators. The partial solids representing regular sets are exactly the maximal elements of the solid domain.

81. 81 ECG Saarbrücken Robustness issues & CAD André Lieutier Partial dyadic voxel sets Dyadic rectangles in R d are products of d dyadic intervals. Partial Solids made of pairs of finite unions of regular dyadic rectangles are called Partial Dyadic Voxel Sets (PDVS). They feature a countable basis of S[0,1] d. The existence of a natural enumeration of the set of PDVS allows to define computability notions on partial solids.
