Peak interpolation is concerned with a foundational kind of mathematical task: building functions in a fixed algebra $A$ which have prescribed values or behaviour on a fixed closed subset (or on several disjoint subsets). In this paper we…
For any class of operators which transform unary total functions in the set of natural numbers into functions of the same kind, we define what it means for a real function to be uniformly computable or conditionally computable with respect…
Neither the classical nor intuitionistic logic traditions are perfectly-aligned with the purpose of reasoning about computation, in that neither tradition can permit unconstrained recursive definitions without inconsistency: recursive…
This paper defines a new notion of bounded computable randomness for certain classes of sub-computable functions which lack a universal machine. In particular, we define such versions of randomness for primitive recursive functions and for…
We show that the bar recursion operators of Spector and Kohlenbach, considered as third-order functionals acting on total arguments, are not computable in Goedel's System T plus minimization, which we show to be equivalent to a programming…
In 1960s, Dana Scott gave a recursion theoretic characterization of standard systems of countable non-standard models of arithmetic, i.e., collections of sets of standard natural numbers coded in non-standard models. Later, Knight and Nadel…
We introduce a new, demand-driven variant of Spector's bar recursion in the spirit of the Berardi-Bezem-Coquand functional. The recursion takes place over finite partial functions $u$, where the control parameter $\varphi$, used in…
Let p/q be a rational number. Numeration in base p/q is defined by a function that evaluates each finite word over A_p={0,1,...,p-1} to some rational number. We let N_p/q denote the image of this evaluation function. In particular, N_p/q…
An integral is defined on the plane that includes the Henstock--Kurzweil and Lebesgue integrals (with respect to Lebesgue measure). A space of primitives is taken as the set of continuous real-valued functions $F(x,y)$ defined on the…
Moore introduced a class of real-valued "recursive" functions by analogy with Kleene's formulation of the standard recursive functions. While his concise definition inspired a new line of research on analog computation, it contains some…
A fertile field of research in theoretical computer science investigates the representation of general recursive functions in intensional type theories. Among the most successful approaches are: the use of wellfounded relations,…
We give a precise definition of a formal mathematical object as any symbol for an individual constant, predicate letter, or a function letter that can be introduced through definition into a formal mathematical language without inviting…
In this article, we study some new characterizations of primitive recursive functions based on restricted forms of primitive recursion, improving the pioneering work of R. M. Robinson and M. D. Gladstone in this area. We reduce certain…
Godel's theory T can be understood as a theory of the simply-typed lambda calculus that is extended to include the constant 0, the successor function S, and the operator R_tau for primitive recursion on objects of type tau. It is known that…
There are two possible computational interpretations of second-order arithmetic: Girard's system F or Spector's bar recursion and its variants. While the logic is the same, the programs obtained from these two interpretations have a…
In this note we axiomatize the classes of rudimentary functions, primitive recursive functions, safe recursive set functions, and predicatively computable functions.
We consider sets/relations/computations defined by *Elementary Inference Systems* I, which are obtained from Smullyan's *elementary formal systems* using Gentzen's notation for inference rules, and proof trees for atoms P(t_1,...,t_n),…
We give a simple order-theoretic construction of a Cartesian closed category of sequential functions. It is based on bistable biorders, which are sets with a partial order -- the extensional order -- and a bistable coherence, which captures…
We present an extension to the $\mathtt{mathlib}$ library of the Lean theorem prover formalizing the foundations of computability theory. We use primitive recursive functions and partial recursive functions as the main objects of study, and…
In this vision paper, we explore the challenges and opportunities of a form of computation that employs an empirical (rather than a formal) approach, where the solution of a computational problem is returned as empirically most likely…
