Pure patterns of order 2

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We provide mutual elementary recursive order isomorphisms between classical ordinal notations, based on Skolem hulling, and notations from pure elementary patterns of resemblance of order 2, showing that the latter characterize the proof-theoretic ordinal of the fragment Pi11-mathrmCA0 of second order number theory, or equivalently the set theory mathrmKPl0. As a corollary, we prove that Carlson's result on the well-quasi orderedness of respecting forests of order 2 implies transfinite induction up to the ordinal of mathrmKPl0. We expect that our approach will facilitate analysis of more powerful systems of patterns.
