Gödel Numberings versus Friedberg Numberings
نویسنده
چکیده
In [3], Rogers discussed the concept of Gödel numbering. He defined a semi-effective numbering, constructed a semi-lattice of equivalence classes of semi-effective numberings, and showed that all Gödel numberings belong to the unique maximal element of this semi-lattice. In [l], Friedberg gave a recursive enumeration without repetition of the set of partial recursive functions of a single variable. Friedberg's numbering is clearly a semi-effective numbering which is not a Gödel numbering.2 Question. How do Friedberg numberings (Definition 1 below) compare with Gödel numberings? More generally, where do Friedberg numberings fit into Rogers' semi-lattice? Definition 1. A Friedberg numbering t is a semi-effective numbering such that (1) Dr=N, (2) Ti^TjiH^j. Summary of results.3 I. If t is a Friedberg numbering then [t] is a minimal element of Rogers' semi-lattice. (Theorem 1.) II. There exists two Friedberg numberings t1 and t2 such that [t1] and [t2] are incomparable. (Theorem 2.) As a consequence of I and II we see that Rogers' semi-lattice is not a lattice (which answers a question raised in [3]).

Learning in Friedberg Numberings
In this paper we consider learnability in some special numberings, such as Friedberg numberings, which contain all the recursively enumerable languages, but have simpler grammar equivalence problem compared to acceptable numberings. We show that every explanatorily learnable class can be learnt in some Friedberg numbering. However, such a result does not hold for behaviourally correct learning ...
متن کاملA note on partial numberings
The different behaviour of total and partial numberings with respect to the reducibility preorder is investigated. Partial numberings appear quite naturally in computability studies for topological spaces. The degrees of partial numberings form a distributive lattice which in the case of an infinite numbered set is neither complete nor contains a least element. Friedberg numberings are no longe...
متن کاملNumberings and Randomness
We prove various results on effective numberings and Friedberg numberings of families related to algorithmic randomness. The family of all Martin-Löf random left-computably enumerable reals has a Friedberg numbering, as does the family of all Π 1 classes of positive measure. On the other hand, the Π 1 classes contained in the Martin-Löf random reals do not even have an effective numbering, nor ...
متن کاملComputability and Numberings
The theory of computable numberings is one of the main parts of the theory of numberings. The papers of H. Rogers [36] and R. Friedberg [21] are the starting points in the systematical investigation of computable numberings. The general notion of a computable numbering was proposed in 1954 by A.N. Kolmogorov and V.A. Uspensky (see [40, p. 398]), and the monograph of Uspensky [41] was the first ...
متن کاملKolmogorov numberings and minimal identification
Identification of programs for computable functions from their graphs by algorithmic devices is a well studied problem in learning theory. Freivalds and Chen consider identification of ‘minimal’ and ‘nearly minimal’ programs for functions from their graphs. To address certain problems in minimal identification for Gödel numberings, Freivalds later considered minimal identification in Kolmogorov...
