Can restricting the set of allowed operations dramatically increase the complexity (assuming the function is still computable in the restricted model)? In particular, what can happen if subtraction and/or division are disallowed? Joint work with Dima Grigoriev and Gleb Koshevoy.

Speaker: Sergey Fomin (University of Michigan)
