    Algorithmic Randomness for Infinite Time Register Machines

    Full text link
    A concept of randomness for infinite time register machines (ITRMs), resembling Martin-L\"of-randomness, is defined and studied. In particular, we show that for this notion of randomness, computability from mutually random reals implies computability and that an analogue of van Lambalgen's theorem holds

    Generalized Effective Reducibility

    Full text link
    We introduce two notions of effective reducibility for set-theoretical statements, based on computability with Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs), one of which resembles Turing reducibility while the other is modelled after Weihrauch reducibility. We give sample applications by showing that certain (algebraic) constructions are not effective in the OTM-sense and considerung the effective equivalence of various versions of the axiom of choice

    Towards a Church-Turing-Thesis for Infinitary Computations

    Full text link
    We consider the question whether there is an infinitary analogue of the Church-Turing-thesis. To this end, we argue that there is an intuitive notion of transfinite computability and build a canonical model, called Idealized Agent Machines (IAMIAMs) of this which will turn out to be equivalent in strength to the Ordinal Turing Machines defined by P. Koepke

    Towards computable analysis on the generalised real line

    Full text link
    In this paper we use infinitary Turing machines with tapes of length κ\kappa and which run for time κ\kappa as presented, e.g., by Koepke \& Seyfferth, to generalise the notion of type two computability to 2κ2^{\kappa}, where κ\kappa is an uncountable cardinal with κ<κ=κ\kappa^{<\kappa}=\kappa. Then we start the study of the computational properties of Rκ\mathbb{R}_\kappa, a real closed field extension of R\mathbb{R} of cardinality 2κ2^{\kappa}, defined by the first author using surreal numbers and proposed as the candidate for generalising real analysis. In particular we introduce representations of Rκ\mathbb{R}_\kappa under which the field operations are computable. Finally we show that this framework is suitable for generalising the classical Weihrauch hierarchy. In particular we start the study of the computational strength of the generalised version of the Intermediate Value Theorem
