We analyze the axiomatic strength of the following theorem due to Rival and Sands in the style of reverse mathematics. "Every infinite partial order $P$ of finite width contains an infinite chain $C$ such that every element of $P$ is either…

We explore the Weihrauch degree of the problems ``find a bad sequence in a non-well quasi order'' ($\mathsf{BS}$) and ``find a descending sequence in an ill-founded linear order'' ($\mathsf{DS}$). We prove that $\mathsf{DS}$ is strictly…

The paper is devoted to a reverse-mathematical study of some well-known consequences of Ramsey's theorem for pairs, focused on the chain-antichain principle $\mathsf{CAC}$, the ascending-descending sequence principle $\mathsf{ADS}$, and the…

In this work we investigate the Weihrauch degree of the problem $\mathsf{DS}$ of finding an infinite descending sequence through a given ill-founded linear order, which is shared by the problem $\mathsf{BS}$ of finding a bad sequence…

We introduce the notion of \tau-like partial order, where \tau is one of the linear order types \omega, \omega*, \omega+\omega*, and \zeta. For example, being \omega-like means that every element has finitely many predecessors, while being…

Restricting the chain-antichain principle CAC to partially ordered sets which respect the natural ordering of the integers is a trivial distinction in the sense of classical reverse mathematics. We utilize computability-theoretic reductions…

The uniform Kruskal theorem extends the original result for trees to general recursive data types. As shown by A. Freund, M. Rathjen and A. Weiermann, it is equivalent to $\Pi^1_1$-comprehension, over $\mathsf{RCA_0}$ with the chain…

We generalize the notion of saturated order to infinite partial orders and give both a set-theoretic and an algebraic characterization of such orders. We then study the proof theoretic strength of the equivalence of these characterizations…

Kruskal's theorem famously states that finite trees (ordered using an infima-preserving embeddability relation) form a well partial order. Freund, Rathjen, and Weiermann extended this result to general recursive data types with their…

An algebraic linear ordering is a component of the initial solution of a first-order recursion scheme over the continuous categorical algebra of countable linear orderings equipped with the sum operation and the constant 1. Due to a general…

In recent years, there has been a substantial amount of work in reverse mathematics concerning natural mathematical principles that are provable from $\RT$, Ramsey's Theorem for Pairs. These principles tend to fall outside of the "big five"…

In this paper we study the reverse mathematics of two theorems by Bonnet about partial orders. These results concern the structure and cardinality of the collection of the initial intervals. The first theorem states that a partial order has…

We prove a \emph{query complexity} lower bound on rank-one principal component analysis (PCA). We consider an oracle model where, given a symmetric matrix $M \in \mathbb{R}^{d \times d}$, an algorithm is allowed to make $T$ \emph{exact}…

We show that at the level of BCS mean-field theory, the superconducting $T_c$ is always increased in the presence of disorder, regardless of order parameter symmetry, disorder strength, and spatial dimension. This result reflects the…

We propose a new method for constructing Turing ideals satisfying principles of reverse mathematics below the Chain-Antichain Principle (CAC). Using this method, we are able to prove several new separations in the presence of Weak Konig's…

CAC for trees is the statement asserting that any infinite subtree of $\mathbb{N}^{<\mathbb{N}}$ has an infinite path or an infinite antichain. In this paper, we study the computational strength of this theorem from a reverse mathematical…

This paper continues to study the connection between reverse mathematics and Weihrauch reducibility. In particular, we study the problems formed from Maltsev's theorem on the order types of countable ordered groups. Solomon showed that the…
