Abstract

Analog computation attempts to capture any type of computation, that can be realized by any type of physical system or physical process, including but not limited to computation over continuous measurable quantities. A pioneering model is the General Purpose Analog Computer (GPAC), initially presented by Shannon in 1941. The GPAC is capable of manipulating real-valued data streams; however, it has been shown to be strictly less powerful than other models of computation on the reals, such as computable analysis.
In previous work, we proposed an extension of the Shannon GPAC, denoted LGPAC, designed to overcome its limitations. Not only is the LGPAC model capable of expressing computation over general data spaces \(\mathcal {X}\), it also directly incorporates approximating computations by means of a limit module. In this paper, we compare the LGPAC with a digital model of computation based on effective representations (tracking computability). We establish general conditions under which LGPAC-generable functions are tracking computable.

Here, assumption (1d), that the original family of pseudonorms on \(\mathcal {X}\) is nondecreasing, is required; alternatively, one could introduce a double-indexing family such as \(\Vert u\Vert _{n,m}=\Vert u(0)\Vert _n+\sup _{0\le t\le m}\Vert u'(t)\Vert _n\).
 
3
By assumption, addition and scalar multiplication are defined on \(\mathcal {X}\). The integral can be generalized to \(C^1(\mathbb {T},\mathcal {X})\) via Riemann sums: see, for example, [14, p. 89].

For ease of notation we write \(\alpha \{T\}(n)\) instead of \(\alpha (\{T\}(n))\).
 
5
The computability of basic algebraic operations is usually one of the first results to be proved for a model of computation. For example, in the framework of computable analysis, this is proved in [10, Sect. 0.4]; and in the framework of type-2 theory of effectivity, this is proved in [22, Sect. 2.1]. The techniques carry over to the tracking computability framework in this paper.

Observe that \(t_j\le 2^{t_j-1}\) for any \(t_j=j+2\ge 2\).
