Abstract

In this paper, we aim at an analog characterization of the classical P ≠ NP conjecture of Structural Complexity. We consider functions over continuous real and complex valued variables. Subclasses of functions can be defined using Laplace transforms adapted to continuous-time computation, introducing analog classes DAnalog and NAnalog. We then show that if DAnalog ≠ NAnalog then P ≠ NP.
