Abstract: | We define the notion of rational presentation of a complete metric space, in order to study metric spaces from the algorithmic complexity point of view. In this setting, we study some representations of the space C0,1] of uniformly continuous real functions over 0,1] with the usual norm: ||f||∞ = Sup{|f(x)|; 0x1}. This allows us to have a comparison of global kind between complexity notions attached to these presentations. In particular, we get a generalization of Hoover's results concerning the Weierstrass approximation theorem in polynomial time. We get also a generalization of previous results on analytic functions which are computable in polynomial time. |
