Abstract. In this paper we examine two approaches to the formal treatment of the notion of problem in the paradigm of algorithmic semantics. Namely, we will explore an approach based on Martin-Löf's Constructive Type Theory (CTT), which can be seen as a direct continuation of Kolmogorov's original calculus of problems, and an approach utilizing Tichý's Transparent Intensional Logic (TIL), which can be viewed as a non-constructive attempt of interpreting Kolmogorov's logic of problems. In the last section we propose Kolmogorov and CTT-inspired modifications to TILbased approach. The focus will be on non-empirical (i.e., mathematical and logical) problems only.
