Mass Problems Associated with Effectively Closed Sets

چکیده

The study of mass problems and Muchnik degrees was originally motivated by Kolmogorov’s non-rigorous 1932 interpretation of intuitionism as a calculus of problems. The purpose of this paper is to summarize recent investigations into the lattice of Muchnik degrees of nonempty effectively closed sets in Euclidean space. Let Ew be this lattice. We show that Ew provides an elegant and useful framework for the classification of certain foundationally interesting problems which are algorithmically unsolvable. We exhibit some specific degrees in Ew which are associated with such problems. In addition, we present some structural results concerning the lattice Ew. One of these results answers a question which arises naturally from the Kolmogorov interpretation. Finally, we show how Ew can be applied in symbolic dynamics, toward the classification of tiling problems and Z-subshifts of finite type. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 03D30; Secondary 03D20, 03D25, 03D28, 03D32, 03D55, 03D80, 37B10.

Recent Aspects of Mass Problems: Symbolic Dynamics and Intuitionism

Mass Problems: A set P ⊆ {0,1} may be viewed as a mass problem, i.e., a decision problem with more than one solution. By definition, the solutions of P are the elements of P . A mass problem is said to be solvable if at least one of its solutions is recursive. A mass problem P is said to be Muchnik reducible to a mass problem Q if for each solution of Q there exists a solution of P which is Tur...

The symmetric monoidal closed category of cpo $M$-sets

In this paper, we show that the category of directed complete posets with bottom elements (cpos) endowed with an action of a monoid $M$ on them forms a monoidal category. It is also proved that this category is symmetric closed.

Decomposition of supra soft locally closed sets and supra SLC-continuity

In this paper, we introduce two different notions of generalized supra soft sets namely supra A--soft sets and supra soft locally closed sets in supra soft topological spaces, which are weak forms of supra open soft sets and discuss their relationships with each other and other supra open soft sets [{it International Journal of Mathematical Trends and Technology} (IJMTT), (2014) Vol. 9 (1):37--...
