Title: HENKIN CONTINUITY OF MULTIVALUED FUNCTIONS
(joint work with Arno Pauly)
Abstract:
A type-2 computable real function is necessarily continuous;
and this remains true for relative, i.e. oracle-based, computations.
Conversely, by the Weierstrass Approximation Theorem, every continuous
$f:[0;1]\to\mathbb{R}$ is computable relative to some oracle.
In their search for a similar topological characterization of
relatively computable \emph{multi-}valued functions
$f:[0;1]\rightrightarrows\mathbb{R}$ (aka multi-functions or relations),
Brattka and Hertling (1994) have considered
two notions: weak continuity (which is weaker than relative computability)
and strong continuity (which is stronger than relative computability).
Observing that \emph{uniform} continuity plays a crucial role
in the Weierstrass Theorem, we propose and compare several notions
of uniform continuity for relations. Here, due to the additional
quantification over values $y\in f(x)$, new ways arise of (linearly)
ordering quantifiers---yet none turns out as satisfactory.
We are thus led to a concept of uniform continuity based on
the \textsf{Henkin quantifier}; and prove it necessary
for relative computability of compact real relations.
In fact iterating this condition
yields a strict hierarchy of notions each necessary ---
and the $\omega$-th level also sufficient ---
for relative computability. A refined, quantitative analysis
exhibits a similar topological characterization of
relative polynomial-time computability.
