Abstract:

It is shown that the recently discovered computational universality in systems of equations over sets of numbers occurs already in systems of the simplest form, with one unknown X and two equations X+X+C=X+X+D and X+E=F, where C, D, E, F \subseteq \mathbb{N} are four ultimately periodic constants and + denotes the operation of elementwise addition of sets, S+T = {m+n | m \in S, n \in T}.
