Abstract

We consider complexity theory for Koepke machines, also known as Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs), and define infinitary complexity classes ∞ - P and ∞-NP and the OTM analogue of the satisfiability problem, denoted by ∞-SAT. We show that ∞-SAT is in ∞-NP and ∞-NP-hard (i.e., the problem is ∞-NP-complete), but not OTM decidable.
