On a hierarchy of groups of computable automorphisms.
In the relational model of databases a database state is thought of as a finite collection of relations between elements. For many applications it is convenient to pre-fix an infinite domain where the finite relations are going to be defined. Often, we also fix a set of domain functions and/or relations. These functions/relations are infinite by their nature. Some special problems arise if we use such an approach. In the paper we discuss some of the problems. We show that there exists a recursive...
A real number x is called Δ20 if its binary expansion corresponds to a Δ20-set of natural numbers. Such reals are just the limits of computable sequences of rational numbers and hence also called computably approximable. Depending on how fast the sequences converge, Δ20-reals have different levels of effectiveness. This leads to various hierarchies of Δ20 reals. In this survey paper we summarize several recent developments related to such kind of hierarchies shown by the author and his collaborators. ...
