10-4 The aim of this exercise is to establish a hierarchy for Bex-identification which shows that decreasing the quality of additional information results in a reduction in learning power. Towards this goal, first prove that, for all 0246-001.gif, 0246-002.gif. Then, verify that this result implies that for all 0246-003.gif, 0246-004.gif
10-5 Show that, for each 0246-005.gif, 0246-006.gif.
Hint: Use the union of the following classes of functions:
0246-007.gif
0246-008.gif
10-6 Show that 0246-009.gif.
Hint: Consider S, the class of functions 0246-010.gif each of which satisfies:
1. 0246-011.gif
2. 0246-012.gif
3. 0246-013.gif
10-7 Show that 0246-014.gif. Observe that this result implies that 0246-015.gif. This latter observation says that there is no scientist that can UniBex-identify every recursive function, even if the scientist is given the best quality additional information and is only required to output a finite variant program.
Hint: Use the class of functions 0246-016.gif.
10-8 Use an argument similar to the one for Exercise 10-7 to argue 0246-017.gif. Note: It is currently open whether this result or the one in Exercise 10-7 can be extended to 0246-018.gif.
10-9 Give a proof of Proposition 10.24.
Hint: For each 0246-019.gif, consider the class of languages 0246-020.gif
