Paper: μ-definable sets of integers (at LICS 1989)

Authors: Robert S. Lubarsky

Abstract

The μ-calculus is a language consisting of standard first-order finitary logic with a least fixed-point operator applicable to positive inductive definitions. The main theorem of this study is a set-theoretic characterization of the sets of integers definable in the μ-calculus. Another theorem used but not proved is a prenex normal form theorem for the μ-calculus
