Supplement to Recursive Functions

Long descriptions for some figures in Recursive Functions

Figure 2 description

The Turing degrees DT figure consists of four black circles aligned vertically. The first and lowest is labeled “0 = degree of all computable sets”. The second is labeled “0=deg(K)=deg(HP)”. The third is labeled “0=deg(TOT)=deg(FIN)”. Between the third and fourth is a verticle ellipse. The fourth is labeled “ 0(n)”. The first and second black circles are connected by two pairs of curved lines. The innermost pair is labeled “The c.e. degrees ET”. The outermost pair is labeled “Degrees a0”.

Figure 3 description

The Arithmetical Hierarchy figure is two vertical parallel lines each has five points with the bottommost one unlabeled; there is a vertical ellipse above the top. The left line’s labeled points are, from bottom to top, Σ10 through Σ40. The right line’s labeled points are, from bottom to top, Π10 through Π40. Eatch point on the left is connected to the points on the right that are above and below it (e.g., Σ10 is connected to the bottom unlabeled point on the right and to Π20). Each of the intersections is also labeled and from bottom to top they are:

  • Δ10=computable sets for the intersection of the lines from unlabeled to Π10 and from Σ10 to unlabeled.
  • Δ20=setsT for the intersection of the lines from Σ10 to Π20 and Σ20 to Π10
  • Δ30=setsT for the intersection of the lines from Σ20 to Π30 and Σ30 to Π20
  • Δ40=setsT for the intersection of the lines from Σ30 to Π40 and Σ40 to Π30

On the left line between the unlabeled bottom point and Σ10 is the label Km= c.e. sets. Also on the left line between Σ10 and Σ20 is the label FINm.

On the right line between the unlabeled bottom point and Π10 is the label = co-c.e. sets Km. Also on the right line between Π10 and Π20 is the label TOTm.
