Abstract

In this article, we propose a new classification of Σ20\Sigma^0_2 formulas under the realizability interpretation of many-one reducibility (i.e., Levin reducibility). For example, Fin{\sf Fin}, the decision of being eventually zero for sequences, is many-one/Levin complete among Σ20\Sigma^0_2 formulas of the form nmn.φ(m,x)\exists n\forall m\geq n.\varphi(m,x), where φ\varphi is decidable. The decision of boundedness for sequences BddSeq{\sf BddSeq} and for width of posets FinWidth{\sf FinWidth} are many-one/Levin complete among Σ20\Sigma^0_2 formulas of the form nmnk.φ(m,k,x)\exists n\forall m\geq n\forall k.\varphi(m,k,x), where φ\varphi is decidable. However, unlike the classical many-one reducibility, none of the above is Σ20\Sigma^0_2-complete. The decision of non-density of linear order NonDense{\sf NonDense} is truly Σ20\Sigma^0_2-complete.
