Abstract

We investigate (2,1):1 structures, which consist of a countable set AA together with a function f:AAf: A \to A such that for every element xx in AA, ff maps either exactly one element or exactly two elements of AA to xx. These structures extend the notions of injection structures, 2:1 structures, and (2,0):1 structures studied by Cenzer, Harizanov, and Remmel, all of which can be thought of as infinite directed graphs. We look at various computability-theoretic properties of (2,1):1 structures, most notably that of computable categoricity. We say that a structure A\mathcal{A} is computably categorical if there exists a computable isomorphism between any two computable copies of A\mathcal{A}. We give a sufficient condition under which a (2,1):1 structure is computably categorical, and present some examples of (2,1):1 structures with different computability-theoretic properties.
