The limit lemma in fragments of arithmetic
The recursion theoretic limit lemma, saying that each function with a graph is a limit of certain function with a graph, is provable in .

The well-known Dyckoff's 1992 calculus/procedure for intuitionistic propositional logic is considered and analyzed. It is shown that the calculus is Kripke complete and the procedure in fact works in polynomial space. Then a multi-conclusion intuitionistic calculus is introduced, obtained by adding one new rule to known calculi. A simple proof of Kripke completeness and polynomial-space decidability of this calculus is given. An upper bound on the depth of a Kripke counter-model is obtained.
The set of all indices of all functions provably recursive in any reasonable theory is shown to be recursively isomorphic to , where is -complete set.
