Recursion Theory and Joy
by Manfred von Thun Abstract: Joy is a functional programming language which is not based on the application of functions to arguments but on the composition of functions. Many topics from the theory of computability are particularly easy to handle within Joy. They include the parameterisation theorem, the recursion theorem and Rice's theorem. Since programs are data, it is possible to define a Y-combinator for recursion and several variants. It follows that there are self-reproducing and self-describing programs in Joy. Practical programs can be written without recursive definitions by using several general purpose recursion combinators which are more intuitive and more efficient than the classical ones. Keywords: functional programming, functionals, computability, diagonalisation, program = data, diagonalisation, self-reproducing and self-describing programs, hierarchy of recursion combinators, elimination of recursive definitions.

Recursion theory
My recursion theory was lacking so I finally cracked open Cutland's "Computability" (that I bought a long time ago and had sitting around the house). It's alright. The exercises are too easy (and a number of them too similar to others) and some of the proofs are sort of lame, not to mention nonconstructive. Just kidding about the nonconstructive part. I'm sure the Rogers text is much better, but these target different audiences (in terms of mathematical sophistication) which I hadn't realized when I picked this up.
Anyway, the s-m-n theorem and the Kleene normal form theorem are dope. So is the stuff on reducibility (of decision problems) and degrees of unsolvability. I wish he would've included at least a section on the arithmetical hierarchy. Thankfully it's in Mendelson, which I have.
Ha, some Asian guy just walked into the tea house I'm in and the server started talking Mandarin to him, but he's actually North American, so when he started speaking English she didn't know what the hell he said because she was expecting Chinese. She responds "whu!!". I bet some of these American/Canadian-born Asians have it hard in some parts of Asia, like Korea. Ok, nevermindyou had to be here, and be me.
I can't wait to be doing logic and philosophy full-time again. Teaching ESL sucks!!! Well, the money is better than anything I could've been doing back home on short notice (since I'm leaving in Sept.), but six days a week is killing me. However, I'm teaching the world a variety of semantic paradoxes one class at a time. (They just look strangely at meno joke.) And everybody thinks that the contradictory of "Everything is P" is "Nothing is P", unless I show them that both can be false. They baffle for a minute, think some more, nothing happens, then...burp.

  • do for a start. Comment by Andrej Bauer Your second question, whether a similar theory may be developed using classical logic, is somewhat misguided. If we want to have a synthetic approach to computability based on the Axiom of Enumerability, then it follows that logic is non-classical (see theorem in the notes which states that the Axiom of Enumerability implies that the Law of Excluded Middle is false). I cannot choose turnes out to be that mathematicians inside the effective topos happen to believe in the Axiom of Enumerability and happen to disbelieve the Law of Excluded Middle, and that things they say about sets mean to us something about computability. Comment by Andrej Bauer do constructive mathematics, without explaining much how to do it. In fact, this may be the best approach: just jump into the constructivist swimming pool and hope there is water in it.

    The exam (for the 12-week project, not the PhD course) takes place on Tuesday, June 24 in room starting at . Our internal censor is Lars Birkedal Literature. J. R. Shoenfield. Recursion Theory. Springer-Verlag 1993 (reprinted by A K Peters 2000, ISBN 1-56881-149-7). Episode 1, February 6, 2003. Sections 1 to 4 presented. Homework Exercises (corrected February 10) available for download. Nina's solution to Exercise 6 is now written up. Episode 2, February 13, 2003. We have discussed sections 5 through 7. The discussion unearthed an interesting question about whether there is a single `function algebra term' describing definition by cases for partial (recursive) functions. This question became Exercise 6 in Homework Exercises (corrected February 20). Episode 3, February 20, 2003. We have discussed homework exercises, as well as sections 8 and 9 from the textbook. We focused our attention on the fundamental results of Recursion Theory: the Normal Form, Enumeration, Parametre, and Recursion theorems, as reinforced by Homework Exercises . We have also agreed to accept Church's Thesis as a working hypothesis, at least unless and untill proven wrong.

    Hierarchies of Function Classes Defined by the First Value Operator: (Extended Abstract)
    Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science Volume 120 3 February 2005 Pages 59-72
    Armin Hemmerling
    Abstract
    The first-value operator assigns to any sequence of partial functions of the same type a new such function. Its domain is the union of the domains of the sequence functions, and its value at any point is just the value of the first function in the sequence which is defined at that point. In this paper, the first-value operator is applied to establish hierarchies of classes of functions under various settings. For effective sequences of computable discrete functions, we obtain a hierarchy connected with Ershov's one within . The non-effective version over real functions is connected with the degrees of discontinuity and yields a hierarchy related to Hausdorff's difference hierarchy in the Borel class . Finally, the effective version over approximately computable real functions forms a hierarchy which provides a useful tool in computable analysis.

    03: Mathematical logic and foundations
    Introduction
    Mathematical Logic is the study of the processes used in mathematical deduction. The subject has origins in philosophy, and indeed it is only by nonmathematical argument that one can show the usual rules for inference and deduction (law of excluded middle; cut rule; etc.) are valid. It is also a legacy from philosophy that we can distinguish semantic reasoning ("what is true?") from syntactic reasoning ("what can be shown?"). The first leads to Model Theory, the second, to Proof Theory. Students encounter elementary (sentential) logic early in their mathematical training. This includes techniques using truth tables, symbolic logic with only "and", "or", and "not" in the language, and various equivalences among methods of proof (e.g. proof by contradiction is a proof of the contrapositive). This material includes somewhat deeper results such as the existence of disjunctive normal forms for statements. Also fairly straightforward is elementary first-order logic, which adds quantifiers ("for all" and "there exists") to the language. The corresponding normal form is prenex normal form. In second-order logic, the quantifiers are allowed to apply to relations and functions to subsets as well as elements of a set. (For example, the well-ordering axiom of the integers is a second-order statement). So how can we characterize the set of theorems for the theory? The theorems are defined in a purely procedural way, yet they should be related to those statements which are (semantically) "true", that is, statements which are valid in every model of those axioms. With a suitable (and reasonably natural) set of rules of inference, the two notions coincide for any theory in first-order logic: the Soundness Theorem assures that what is provable is true, and the Completeness Theorem assures that what is true is provable. It follows that the set of true first-order statements is effectively enumerable, and decidable: one can deduce in a finite number of steps whether or not such a statement follows from the axioms. So, for example, one could make a countable list of all statements which are true for all groups.

    M781: Coalgebra Coalgebra is a field of study which aims to study the general properties of a great variety of state-based dynamical systems, like transition systems, automata, process calculi, Markov chains, etc. These all can be captured uniformly as coalgebras, and coalgebra aims to be the mathematics of computational dynamics. Coalgebra is developing into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications and interactions with various other fields such as formal system specification, modal logic, dynamical systems, control systems, category theory, set theory, algebra, analysis, enumerative combinatorics, recursive program schemes, circularity, etc. The field as a whole is fairly new, and it is currently very active.

    COLL-S 105: Freshman Seminar in Computability and Logic The theory of computation is one of the most important intellectual developments of the first half of the twentieth century. From very slender roots, a tree blossomed in the 1930's whose fruit is the development of computers as we know them. But the same tree contains thorns, as it were; these are the 'negative results' which talk about computer programs that we can never write, and true sentences which we can never prove. These results are often taken to imply fundamental limitations on what human beings can know. They are on a cultural par with other developments that came at roughly the same time: the uncertainty principle in physics, and even with Freud's notion of an unconscious which cannot know itself.

    INTRODUCTION
    The Department of Pure Mathematics forms part of the School of Mathematics, the other departments being those of Applied Mathematical Studies and Statistics. The department has 20 academic staff, as well as a number of postdoctoral research fellows and research assistants. The Department was rated 5 in both of the last two Research Assessment Exercises. There are usually about 30 research students. As well as the weekly seminars which are mentioned below, there is a less specialised departmental Colloquium which meets once or twice a term. There is also a graduate lecture course each year in each of Mathematical Logic, Algebra, Analysis and Differential Geometry. The aim of the Department of Pure Mathematics at Leeds for many years has been to maintain and develop research groups of international standing in four of the most vital and central areas of mathematics: mathematical logic, algebra, analysis and differential geometry. In each of these subjects there is plenty of lively research activity at Leeds. The department is one of the largest and most active centres for pure mathematics research in the UK, and is an ideal place in which to obtain postgraduate training.

    Recursion theory
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation search For the branch of computer science called computability theory, see Computability theory (computer science) Recursion theory , also called computability theory , is a branch of mathematical logic that originated in the 1930s with the study of computable functions and Turing degrees . The field has grown to include the study of generalized computability and definability. In these areas, recursion theory overlaps with proof theory and effective descriptive set theory The basic questions addressed by recursion theory are "What does it mean for a function from the natural numbers to themselves to be computable?" and "Can noncomputable functions be classified into a hierarchy based on their level of noncomputability?". The answers to these questions have led to a rich theory that is still being actively researched. Recursion theorists in mathematical logic often study the theory of relative computability, reducibility notions and degree structures described in this article. This contrasts with the theory of subrecursive hierarchies formal methods and formal languages that is common in the study of computability theory in computer science . There is considerable overlap in knowledge and methods between these two research communities, however, and no firm line can be drawn between them.

    Description
    Volume II of Classical Recursion Theory describes the universe from a local (bottom-up or synthetical) point of view, and covers the whole spectrum, from the recursive to the arithmetical sets.
    The first half of the book provides a detailed picture of the computable sets from the perspective of Theoretical Computer Science. Besides giving a detailed description of the theories of abstract Complexity Theory and of Inductive Inference, it contributes a uniform picture of the most basic complexity classes, ranging from small time and space bounds to the elementary functions, with a particular attention to polynomial time and space computability. It also deals with primitive recursive functions and larger classes, which are of interest to the proof theorist.
    The second half of the book starts with the classical theory of recursively enumerable sets and degrees, which constitutes the core of Recursion or Computability Theory. Unlike other texts, usually confined to the Turing degrees, the book covers a variety of other strong reducibilities, studying both their individual structures and their mutual relationships. The last chapters extend the theory to limit sets and arithmetical sets. The volume ends with the first textbook treatment of the enumeration degrees, which admit a number of applications from algebra to the Lambda Calculus.

    Abstract

    We define a case of recursive functions on the reals analogous to the classical recursive functions on the natural numbers, corresponding to a conceptual analog computer that operates in continuous time. This class turns out to be surprisingly large, and includes many functions which are uncomputable in the traditional sense. We stratify this class of functions into a hierarchy, according to the number of uses of the zero-finding operator mu. At the lowest level are continuous functions that are differentially algebraic, and computable by Shannon's General Purpose Analog Computer. At higher levels are increasingly discontinuous and complex functions. We relate this mu-hierarchy to the Arithmetical and Analytical Hierarchies of classical recursion theory.

    Computing with Reals
    Some History
    Reals - how they might have developed Thumbnail History of Reals Constructive Mathematics Alan Turing (1936) ... Other Recent Work I have myself been interested in this area for at least 20 years, (or, since the publication of Minsky's book, depending on what you count as interest). It has never got high enough on my priority list for more than the odd tinker. Recently my interest was revived because I was thinking about theorem provers capable of doing automatically computations in real analysis, and for this purpose the ability to do exact computations with reals is essential (IMO). The following is my best shot at an outline of the history of the subject. I have no doubt whatever that the story is incomplete, and its probably wrong too. If you know better, spare me a few minutes to help brush up or fill in the picture.
    Constructive Mathematics
    The story surely must start here. Its not easy to say where constructive mathematics starts, historically, since some say that maths always was constructive until non-constructive techniques appeared in the 19th century. However, the emergence of intuitionism, the first explicitly constructive doctrine, as a distinct thread in mathematical philosophy is a phenomenon of the early twentieth century. I believe that intuitionism was the first brand of constructivism to emerge, and has been followed by many others. Constructive mathematics is distinguished by a particular concern for the computational content of mathematics, and often by a rejection of classical mathematics and classical logics. Classical mathematics is founded in Cantor's set theory, which builds up to (and beyond) the complex analysis widely exploited in science and engineering. Some of the criticisms, levelled by intuitionists and other constructivists againsts classical mathematics at a time long before the invention of digital computers (or even Turing machines), are not so very far from the feelings which a scientifically oriented software engineer might feel about the use in science of number systems which simply aren't implementable computationally.

    28-29 June 2007 From Type Theory to Morphologic Complexity: A Colloquium in Honor of Giuseppe Longo In conjunction with RDP 2007 Paris, Conservatoire National des Arts et M©tiers , Amphitheaters 3 and A. This colloquium was organised to celebrate the 60th birthday of Giuseppe Longo . Some photos of the meeting can be found here The main research area Giuseppe Longo has been interested in concerns syntactic and semantic properties of the "logical base" of functional languages: Combinatory Logic, Lambda-calculus and their extensions. However, he always investigated these topics in its broadest setting which relates them to Recursion Theory, Proof Theory and Category Theory. In this perspective, Longo worked at some aspects of Recursion Theory, Higher Type Recursion Theory, Domain Theory and Category Theory as part of a unified mathematical framework for the theory and the design of functional languages. In a sense, Longo has always been mostly interested in the "interconnecting results" or "bridges" and applications among different areas and to language design. He also worked at the applications of functional approaches to Object-Oriented programming. He is currently extending his interdisciplinary interests to Philosophy of Mathematics and Cognitive Sciences. A recent interdisciplinary project on Geometry and Cognition (started with the corresponding grant: "G©om©trie et Cognition", 1999 - 2002 with J. Petitot et B. Teissier), focused on the geometry of physical and biological spaces. The developements of this project lead to a new initiative at DI-ENS, in 2002, the setting up of the research team "Complexit© et information morphologiques" (CIM), centered on foundational problems in the interface between Mathematics, Physics and Biology.

    Bounded Queries in Recursion Theory by William I. Gasarch and Georgia A. Martin Progress in Computer Science and Applied Logic: Vol. 16 ISBN 0-8176-3966-7
    In recursion theory one considers functions which can be computed by an algorithm. Computational complexity theory is dedicated to the study of the difficulty of computations based on the notion of a measure of computational complexity in terms of the amount of some resources a program uses in a specific computation. An important measure of the complexity of a computable function is the time needed to compute it. Other resources, such as space , have also been considered. The object of the book is to classify functions which are not calculable from the point of view of their difficulty , in a quantitative way. For this, a new notion of complexity that is quantitative is introduced such that it expresses the level of difficulty of a function (such as the Turing degree). This work is a reflection of the contribution of the authors to the foundation and the development of a new direction of research in computational complexity theory. An oracle Turing machine is defined as a Turing machine together with an extra tape, an extra head to be used for reading that tape, and a mechanism to move the extra head and to overwrite characters on the extra tape. This notion is considered as a model of computation which extends the usual model of Turing machine to the power of asking questions - called

    http://www.activesign.net/theory_computation.php
    Theory of Computation:
    The theory of computation is the branch of computer science that deals with whether and how efficiently problems can be solved on a computer. The field is divided into two major branches: computability theory and complexity theory, but both branches deal with formal models of computation.
    Computability Theory:
    Computability theory deals primarily with the question of whether a problem is solvable at all on a computer. The halting problem is one of the most important results in computability theory, as it is an example of a concrete problem that is both easy to formulate and impossible to solve using a Turing machine. Much of computability theory builds on the halting problem result. Computability theory is closely related to the branch of mathematical logic called recursion theory, which removes the restriction of studying only models of computation which are close to physically realizable. Many mathematicians and Computational theorists who study recursion theory will refer to it as computability theory. There is no real difference between the fields other than whether a researcher working in this area has his or her office in the computer science or mathematics department.

      Abstract
      Classify simple games into sixteen "types" in terms of the four conventional axioms: monotonicity, properness, strongness, and nonweakness. Further classify them into sixty-four classes in terms of finiteness (existence of a finite carrier) and computability. For each such class, we either show that it is empty or give an example of a game belonging to it. We observe that if a type contains an infinite game, then it contains both computable infinitegames and noncomputable ones. This strongly suggests that computability is logically, as well as conceptually, unrelated to the conventional axioms.

    work of Kleene
    ...developed the field of recursion theory, which made it possible to prove whether certain classes of mathematical problems are solvable or unsolvable. Recursion theory in turn led to the theory of computable functions, which governs those functions that can be calculated by a digital computer. Kleene was the author of Introduction to Metamathematics (1952) and Mathematical Logic... No results were returned.

    Research Interests
    Most of my research is in computable recursive algebra and model theory (see Harizanov's Handbook of Recursive Mathematics chapter) and in computability recursion theory , which are subfields of mathematical logic (see Crossley's 2005 tutorial ). I am especially interested in computability theoretic complexity of relations (see Hirschfeldt's Bulletin of Symbolic Logic paper ) and structures (see Harizanov's Bulletin of Symbolic Logic paper ), including their Turing degrees. Computability theory is the mathematical theory of algorithms. Problems which can be solved algorithmically are called decidable. Undecidable problems can be more precisely classified by considering generalized algorithms, which require external knowledge. Turing degrees provide an important measure of the level of such knowledge needed. (See

    Time:
    Thursday 3-5
    Place: P.015A
    First Lecture:
    September 11th, 2003
    (Note that there will be no lecture on September 4th due to the traditional Introductory Boat Trip of the Master of Logic program. Also, there will be no lecture on October 23rd.)
    Course language: English
    Intended Audience: MoL students, Mathematics students in their fourth year
    Prerequisites: This course assumes basic mathematical skills and some knowledge of basic logic. This course will cover the basic notions of computability: Turing machines, recursivity and computer programs. The Equivalence Theorem will lead to Church's Thesis. Having a formalization of computability allows us now to investigate the boundaries of computation: what problems are not computationally solvable? This question will lead us to Turing's Halting Problem and the Decidability. We discuss several notions of recursion theoretic reducibility, their derived degree structures, and mathematical properties of these structures. We shall mostly follow Part A of the textbook Robert I.

Literature: C.C. Chang, H.J. Keisler, Model Theory, North Holland Publ. Co. 1977 W. Hodges, Model Theory, Cambridge UP, 1993 Contents: Model theory studies the variety of mathematical structures that satisfy given formal theory. It may also be described as a study of mathematical structures from the logician's point of view. Model theory at its best is a delightful blend of abstract and concrete reasoning. Among the topics to be treated in this course are Fraisse's characterisation of the notion 'elementary equivalence' (structures A,B are called elementarily equivalent if they satisfy the same first-order-sentences), the compactness theorem and its many consequences, ultraproducts, some non-standard-analysis, Tarski's decision method for the field of real numbers by quantifier elimination and Robinson's notion of model completeness. If time permits, some attention will be given to constructive and recursive model theory.

    Texts:
    Our primary text is Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Sipser (2nd edition, PWS Publishing 2005). You may also choose to refer to Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation by Hopcroft, Motwani, and Ullman.
    Prequisites: An exposure to understanding and designing mathematical proofs. Course objectives: Our aim is to capture and explore the notion of computation from an abstract point of view. We hope to define and understand the ideas of a computer and computing in a way that will be insensitive to the monumental advances in technology that might render the computer you're using to view this page obsolete by the time we finish this class. Our regular task will be to formally explore and understand (i.e. prove) things about the power and limitation of different kinds of formal computers, including finte automata, context-free grammars, and turing machines. In constrast with an undergraduate computability course, we will study each model of computation in more depth. Topics
    • Preliminaries: proof techniques, sets, propositional logic, ...
