Computability and complexity over the reals

Paolo Boldi
University of Milan

Abstract
In this work, we sketch a (rather superficial) survey about the problem of extending some of the classical notions from computation and complexity theory to the non-classical realm of real numbers. We first present an algorithmic approach, deeply studied by Blum, Shub, Smale et al., and give a non-trivial separation result recently obtained by Cucker. Then, we introduce some concepts from another line of research, namely the one based on the notion of computable real number.
