On Bar Recursion of Types 0 and 1

چکیده

For general information on bar recursion the reader should consult the papers of Spector [8], where it was introduced, Howard [2] and Tait [11]. In this note we shall prove that the terms of Godel's theory T (in its extensional version of Spector [8]) are closed under the rule BRo•1 of bar recursion of types 0 and 1. Our method of proof is based on the notion of an infinite term introduced by Tait [9]. The main tools of the proof are (i) the normalization theorem for (notations for) infinite terms and (ii) valuation functionals. Both are elaborated in [6]; for brevity some familiarity with this paper is assumed here. Using (i) and (ii) we reduce BRo.1 to ';-recursion with'; < co. From this the result follows by work of Tait [10], who gave a reduction of 2E-recursion to ';-recursion at a higher type. At the end of the paper we discuss a perhaps more natural variant of bar recursion introduced by Kreisel in [4]. Related results are due to :&reisel (in his appendix to [8]), who obtains results which imply, using the reduction given by Howard [2] of the constant of bar recursion of type '0 to the rule of bar recursion of type (0 ~ '0) ~ '0, that T is not closed under the rule of bar recursion of a type oflevel ~ 2, to Diller [1], who gave a reduction of BRo.1 to ';-recursion with'; bounded by the least (V-critical number, and to Howard [3], who gave an ordinal analysis of the constant of bar recursion of type O. I am grateful to H. Barendregt, W. Howard and G. Kreisel for many useful comments and discussions. Recall that a functional F of type 0 ~ (0 ~ '0) ~ (J is said to be defined by (the rule of) bar recursion of type '0 from Yand functionals G, H of the proper types if

Coq as a Metatheory for Nuprl with Bar Induction

These past few years, we have been experimenting in Nuprl with versions of Brouwer’s Bar Induction principle. Until recently we had no formal proof that these rules are valid Nuprl reasoning principles. Thanks to our formalization of Nuprl’s metatheory in Coq, we can now rigorously check whether these principles are consistent with Nuprl. In this paper we present a proof, using our Coq framewor...

Modified bar recursion

We introduce a variant of Spector’s bar recursion (called “modified bar recursion”) in finite types to give a realizability interpretation of the classical axiom of countable choice allowing for the extraction of witnesses from proofs of Σ1 formulas in classical analysis. As a second application of modified bar recursion we present a bar recursive definition of the fan functional. Moreover, we ...

Proof Mining in Subsystems of Analysis

This dissertation studies the use of methods of proof theory in extracting new information from proofs in subsystems of classical analysis. We focus mainly on ineffective proofs, i.e. proofs which make use of ineffective principles ranging from weak König’s lemma to full comprehension. The main contributions of the dissertation can be divided into four parts: (1) A discussion of how monotone fu...
