We study the notion of universality probability of a universal prefix-free machine, as introduced by C. S. Wallace. We show that it is random relative to the third iterate of the halting problem and determine its Turing degree and its place in the arithmetical hierarchy of complexity. Furthermore, we give a computational characterization of the real numbers that are universality probabilities of universal prefix-free machines.

We provide the proof of a practical pointwise characterization of the setRPdefined by the closure set of the real projections of the zeros of an exponential polynomialP(z)=∑j=1ncjewjzwith real frequencieswjlinearly independent over the rationals. As a consequence, we give a complete description of the setRPand prove its invariance with respect to the moduli of thecj′s, which allows us to determine exactly the gaps ofRPand the extremes of the critical interval ofP(z)by solving inequations with positive real numbers. Finally, we analyse the converse of this result of invariance.

AbstractThe main objective of this research is to characterize all the real polynomial functions of degree less than the fourth which are Jensen m-convex on the set of non-negative real numbers. In the first section, it is established for that class of functions what conditions must satisfy a particular polynomial in order to be starshaped on the same set. Finally, both kinds of results are combined in order to find examples of either Jensen m-convex functions which are not starshaped or viceversa.
