This thesis is focused on analyzing a particular notion of complexity of real valued functions through the lens of analog computers. This report features design changes to Pour-El’s notion of an analog computer that reflect this question of complexity in a concrete way. Additionally, these changes to the analog computer allow an extension of Pour-El’s work in which the complexity of a function can be identified with the order of a differentiably algebraic equation that the function satisfies.
