Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The paper works within the framework of punctual computability, which is focused on eliminating unbounded search from constructions in algebra and infinite combinatorics. We study punctual numberings, that is, uniform computations for families S of primitive recursive functions. The punctual reducibility between numberings is induced by primitive recursive functions. This approach gives rise to upper semilattices of degrees, which are called Rogers pr-semilattices. We show that any infinite, uniformly primitive recursive family S induces an infinite Rogers pr-semilattice R. We prove that the semilattice R does not have minimal elements, and every nontrivial interval inside R contains an infinite antichain. In addition, every non-greatest element from R is a part of an infinite antichain. We show that the $\Sigma_1$ -fragment of the theory Th(R) is decidable.
