One of the elegant achievements in the history of proof theory is the characterization of the provably total recursive functions of an arithmetical theory by its proof-theoretic ordinal as a way to measure the time complexity of the…
In arXiv:1604.08705 the authors introduced the propositional modal logic $\textbf{TSC}$ (which stands for Turing Schmerl Calculus) which adequately describes the provable interrelations between different kinds of Turing progressions. The…
We develop the abstract framework for a proof-theoretic analysis of theories with scope beyond ordinal numbers, resulting in an analog of Ordinal Analysis aimed at the study of theorems of complexity $\Pi^1_2$. This is done by replacing the…
At a first glance the Theory of computation relies on potential infinity and an organization aimed at solving a problem. Under such aspect it is like Mendeleev theory of chemistry. Also its theoretical development reiterates that of this…
The famous G\"odel incompleteness theorem states that for every consistent sufficiently rich formal theory T there exist true statements that are unprovable in T. Such statements would be natural candidates for being added as axioms, but…
In arXiv:1604.08705 we introduced the propositional modal logic $\textbf{TSC}$ (which stands for Turing Schmerl Calculus) which adequately describes the provable interrelations between different kinds of Turing progressions. In…
Taylor's theorem (and its variants) is widely used in several areas of mathematical analysis, including numerical analysis, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. This article explains how Taylor's theorem in its most…
We introduce a natural Turing-complete extension of first-order logic FO. The extension adds two novel features to FO. The first one of these is the capacity to add new points to models and new tuples to relations. The second one is the…
Turing progressions arise by iteratedly adding consistency statements to a base theory. Different notions of consistency give rise to different Turing progressions. In this paper we present a logic that generates exactly all relations that…
There are two major generalizations of the standard ordinal analysis: One is Girard's $\Pi^1_2$-proof theory in which dilators are assigned to theories instead of ordinals. The other is Pohlers' generalized ordinal analysis with Spector…
Martin's Conjecture states that every definable function on the Turing degrees is either constant or increasing, and that every increasing function is an iterate of the Turing jump. This classification has already been corroborated for the…
For any ordinal \Lambda, we can define a polymodal logic GLP(\Lambda), with a modality [\xi] for each \xi<\Lambda. These represent provability predicates of increasing strength. Although GLP(\Lambda) has no Kripke models, Ignatiev showed…
Fixing some computably enumerable theory $T$, the Friedman-Goldfarb-Harrington (FGH) theorem says that over elementary arithmetic, each $\Sigma_1$ formula is equivalent to some formula of the form $\Box_T \varphi$ provided that $T$ is…
Polynomial series approximations are a central theme in approximation theory due to their utility in an abundance of numerical applications. The two types of series, which are featured most prominently, are Taylor series expansions and…
In the following paper we propose a model-theoretical way of comparing the "strength" of various truth theories which are conservative over PA. Let $\mathfrak{Th}$ denote the class of models of PA which admit an expansion to a model of…
Let $X$ be the number of $k$-term arithmetic progressions contained in the $p$-biased random subset of the first $N$ positive integers. We give asymptotically sharp estimates on the logarithmic upper-tail probability $\log \Pr(X \ge E[X] +…
As a rigorous statistical approach, statistical Taylor expansion extends the conventional Taylor expansion by replacing precise input variables with random variables of known distributions and sample counts to compute the mean, the…
Formal theories of arithmetic have traditionally been based on either classical or intuitionistic logic, leading to the development of Peano and Heyting arithmetic, respectively. We propose to use $\mu$MALL as a formal theory of arithmetic…
Summation formulae are classical tools in analysis: Taylor-MacLaurin, Euler-MacLaurin, Poisson, Vorono\"i, Circle formulae\ldots We will show how, from a single equation - referred to as the mother-equation - it is possible to unify these…
As a discrete counterpart to the classical John theorem on the approximation of (symmetric) $n$-dimensional convex bodies $K$ by ellipsoids, Tao and Vu introduced so called generalized arithmetic progressions $P(A,b)\subset Z^n$ in order to…
