Open induction in a bounded arithmetic for TC^0

Abstract: The elementary arithmetic operations +,cdot,le on integers are well-known to be computable in the weak complexity class mathrmTC0, and it is a basic question what properties of these operations can be proved using only mathrmTC0-computable objects, i.e., in a theory of bounded arithmetic corresponding to mathrmTC0. We will show that the theory mathitVTC0 extended with an axiom postulating the totality of iterated multiplication (which is computable in mathrmTC0) proves induction for quantifier-free formulas in the language langle+,cdot,leangle (IOpen), and more generally, minimization for Sigma0b formulas in the language of Buss's S2.
