We prove that it is not decidable on R-machines if for a fixed finite intervall [a,b) the solution of the initial value problems of systems of ordinary differetial equations have solutions over this interval. This result holds independly from assumptions about differentiability of the right sides of the ODEs. Futhermore ... more >>>

We study the power of balanced regular leaf-languages. First, we investigate (i) regular languages that are polylog-time reducible to languages in dot-depth 1/2 and (ii) regular languages that are polylog-time decidable. For both classes we provide - forbidden-pattern characterizations, and - characterizations in terms of regular expressions. Both classes are ... more >>>
