No. The propertyis an index set: it depends only on the domain $W_n$ of the partial function computed, not on the syntax of its program. It is nontrivial. For example, an index whose domain is a singleton belongs to $\mathcal{S}$, whereas an index whose domain has two elements does not. The Rice theorem therefore shows that $\mathcal{S}$ is not a computable set, so no algorithm can decide the requested property for arbitrary $n$.

Invoking the Church–Turing thesis, this also rules out any effective procedure in the informal sense, because such a procedure would be represented by a computable function.

For each $x$, let $h(x)$ be an effectively obtained index of the partial functionThe existence of the total computable index transformation $h$ follows from the S-m-n theorem. By the recursion theorem, some $m$ satisfies $f_{m,1}\simeq f_{h(m),1}$. Therefore its domain isand hence

Apply the S-m-n theorem to $g$. It gives a total computable function $h$ such thatThe recursion theorem supplies an index $e$ satisfying $f_{e,1}\simeq f_{h(e),1}$. Consequently

Rice theorem says that every nontrivial extensional property of programs computing partial functions is undecidable. Equivalently, a nontrivial index set cannot be a computable set.

Let $A$ be such an index set. Replacing $A$ by its complement if necessary, assume that the nowhere-defined function has no index in $A$. Since the property is nontrivial, choose an index $a\in A$. If membership in $A$ were decidable, we could decide the diagonal halting problem as follows. For each $x$, defineBy the S-m-n theorem, a total computable function $q$ produces an index $q(x)$ for ${\psi }_x$. If $f_{x,1}(x)$ diverges, then ${\psi }_x$ is nowhere defined and $q(x)\notin A$. If it halts, then ${\psi }_x\simeq f_{a,1}$ and extensionality gives $q(x)\in A$. A decider for $A$ would therefore decide whether $f_{x,1}(x)$ halts, a contradiction. Hence $A$ is undecidable.

Fix an acceptable effective enumeration $f_{e,n}$ of the $n$-ary partial computable functions. The S-m-n theorem states that for every $m,n\ge 1$ there is a total computable function $s_n^m$ such thatwhere $\simeq$ means that both sides have the same value when defined and are otherwise both undefined.

The recursion theorem states that every total computable transformation $h$ of program indices has a semantic fixed point: there is an $e$ such that

By Fermat's little theorem,Thus the sum of $g$ over ${\mathbb{F}}_p^3$ counts, modulo $p$, the triples on which the ternary quadratic form $f$ vanishes.

Expand $f^{p-1}$ with the multinomial theorem. A term indexed by $r+s+t=p-1$ contributes a constant multiple ofAt least one of $r,s,t$ is strictly less than $(p-1)/2$. Its corresponding exponent is therefore in $\{0,1,\dots ,p-2\}$, so part (b), including its $k=0$ case, makes that power sum zero modulo $p$. Every term in the expansion consequently vanishes after summation. The constant term contributes $p^3\equiv 0$, and therefore

The zero triple is one solution of $f=0$. If it were the only solution, the displayed sum would be congruent to $1$ rather than $0$. Hence there is another triple $(x,y,z)$, not all divisible by $p$, satisfying

For $k=0$, the convention $0^0=1$ gives $S_0=p\equiv 0(\mathrm{mod}p)$. Now suppose $1\le k<p-1$ and choose a primitive root $g$ modulo $p$. The nonzero residues are $g^j$ for $0\le j\le p-2$, while the $x=0$ term vanishes. HenceThis is a finite geometric series. Since $g^k\not\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}p)$ but $g^{k(p-1)}\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}p)$ by Fermat's little theorem, multiplication by the nonzero residue $g^k-1$ givesThe factor $g^k-1$ is invertible modulo the prime number $p$, so

A primitive root modulo $p$ is an integer $g$ whose residue class generates the multiplicative group of a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_p^{\times }$. Equivalently, its multiplicative order modulo $p$ is $p-1$, so

When $k=N/4$,One Grover search algorithm iteration therefore givesThe selective sign change $I_G$ is implemented with one application of the Boolean quantum oracle: prepare its answer qubit in $|-⟩=(|0⟩-|1⟩)/\sqrt{2}$ and use quantum phase kickback, obtaining $(-1{)}^{f(x)}$ on each $|x⟩$. The remaining operations $H_n$, $I_0$, and the final computational-basis measurement are independent of $f$. Measurement of $|{\psi }_G⟩$ returns some $x\in G$ with probability one, so exactly one query to $U_f$ suffices.

Because $H_n|0^n⟩=|{\psi }_0⟩$,which is the reflection operator in the line spanned by $|{\psi }_0⟩$. Meanwhile $I_G$ changes the sign of every good basis state and fixes every bad basis state; onit is the reflection in the $|{\psi }_B⟩$ axis. Both reflections preserve $\mathcal{P}$, so their product $Q$ does too.

WriteIn Euclidean geometry, the composition of reflections in two lines through the origin has a rotation matrix through twice the oriented angle between the lines. Hence $Q$ rotates the good-bad plane by $2\theta$ from $|{\psi }_B⟩$ toward $|{\psi }_G⟩$. In particular, the Grover rotation angle formula is

The cosmological constant energy is constant, whereas the matter density scales as $a^{-3}$. HenceThe transition occurs when $\rho +3P={\rho }_{\mathrm{dust}}-2{\rho }_{\mathrm{cc}}=0$, so

At equality, let ${\rho }_{\mathrm{cc}}={\rho }_{\mathrm{dust}}={\rho }_{\ast }$. The cosmological constant has $P_{\mathrm{cc}}=-{\rho }_{\ast }$, while nonrelativistic matter has $P_{\mathrm{dust}}=0$. ThereforeThe scale factor consequently has $\ddot{a}>0$: the expansion is accelerated at $a=a_{\mathrm{eq}}$.

For the equation of state $P=w\rho$ with positive energy density,The expansion is accelerated for $w<-1/3$, coasting for $w=-1/3$, and decelerated for $w>-1/3$.

Differentiate the Friedmann equation $H^2=8\pi G\rho /3$ and use the continuity equation $\dot{\rho }=-3H(\rho +P)$:so $\dot{H}=-4\pi G(\rho +P)$. Since $H=\dot{a}/a$,Hence the Raychaudhuri equation is

Let $f$ and $g$ be conserved quantities, allowing explicit time dependence. ThenUsing bilinearity of the Poisson bracket, commutation of partial differentiation with it, and the Jacobi identity for the Poisson bracket,Thus $\{f,g\}$ is also conserved.

By the multivariable chain rule and Hamilton's equations,The sum is the Poisson bracket $\{f,H\}$, giving
