Abstract
Building on Buchholz' assignment for ordinals below Bachmann-Howard ordinal, see [2], we introduce systems of fundamental sequences for two kinds of relativized ϑ-function-based notation systems of strength and prove Bachmann property for these systems, which is essential for monotonicity properties of subrecursive hierarchies defined on the basis of fundamental sequences. The central notion of our construction is the notion of localization, which was introduced in [12].
The first kind of stepwise defined ϑ-functions over ordinal addition as basic function fits the framework of the ordinal arithmetical toolkit developed in [12], whereas the second kind of ϑ-functions is defined simultaneously and will allow for further generalization to larger proof-theoretic ordinals, see [10].
The systems of fundamental sequences given here enable the investigation of fundamental sequences and independence phenomena also in the context of patterns of resemblance, an approach to ordinal notations that is both semantic and combinatorial and was first introduced by Carlson in [4] and further analyzed in [11], [13], [14], [5].
Our exposition is put into the context of the abstract approach to fundamental sequences developed by Buchholz, Cichon, and Weiermann in [3]. The results of this paper will be applied to the theory of Goodstein sequences, extending results of [7].
期刊介绍:
The journal Annals of Pure and Applied Logic publishes high quality papers in all areas of mathematical logic as well as applications of logic in mathematics, in theoretical computer science and in other related disciplines. All submissions to the journal should be mathematically correct, well written (preferably in English)and contain relevant new results that are of significant interest to a substantial number of logicians. The journal also considers submissions that are somewhat too long to be published by other journals while being too short to form a separate memoir provided that they are of particular outstanding quality and broad interest. In addition, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic occasionally publishes special issues of selected papers from well-chosen conferences in pure and applied logic.
