Extract

In a previous paper [13] we introduced a hierarchy (Gn Aω )n∈ℕ of subsystems of classical arithmetic in all finite types where the growth of definable functions of Gn Aω corresponds to the well-known Grzegorczyk hierarchy. Let AC-qf denote the schema of quantifier-free choice.

[11], [13], [8] and [7] study various analytical principles Γ in the context of the theories GnAω + AC-qf (mainly for n = 2) and use proof-theoretic tools like, e.g., monotone functional interpretation (which was introduced in [12]) to determine their impact on the growth of uniform bounds Φ such that

which are extractable from given proofs (based on these principles Γ) of sentences

Here A 0(u, k, v, w) is quantifier-free and contains only u, k, v, w as free variables; t is a closed term and ≤p is defined pointwise. The term ‘uniform bound’ refers to the fact that Φ does not depend on v ≤p tuk (see [12] for the relevance of such uniform bounds in numerical analysis and for concrete applications to approximation theory).
