A selection property of the boolean -calculus and some of its applications
In this paper we survey results and open problems on the structure of additive and hereditary properties of graphs. The important role of vertex partition problems, in particular the existence of uniquely partitionable graphs and reducible properties of graphs in this structure is emphasized. Many related topics, including questions on the complexity of related problems, are investigated.
This paper is a contribution to the general tiling problem for the hyperbolic plane. It is an intermediary result between the result obtained by R. Robinson [Invent. Math.44 (1978) 259–264] and the conjecture that the problem is undecidable.
For abstract numeration systems built on exponential regular languages (including those coming from substitutions), we show that the set of real numbers having an ultimately periodic representation is if the dominating eigenvalue of the automaton accepting the language is a Pisot number. Moreover, if is neither a Pisot nor a Salem number, then there exist points in which do not have any ultimately periodic representation.
By introducing the concept of randomness through notions of recursion theory, the set of the random numbers is effectively immune. The proof of this well-known result makes an essential use of the recursion theorem. In this paper, randomness is introduced starting from the more common notion of definability in Robinson's arithmetic and the same result is obtained using an extension of the fixed-point theorem, which we prove at the end of the paper. Finally we define a recursive function dominating...
