Computational Inductive Definability
Abstract
It is shown that over any countable first-order structure, IND programs with dictionaries accept exactly the pi 11 relations. This extends a result of Harel and Kozen (Inform. and Control 63 (12) (1984) 118) relating IND and pi 11 over countable structures with some coding power, and provides a computational analog of a result of Barwise et al. (J. Symbolic Logic 36 (1971) 108) relating the pi 11 relations on a countable structure to a certain family of inductively denable relations on the hereditarily finite sets over that structure.
