Other Notions of Degree
Similar notions of reduction and degree arise by replacing the continuous functions by any class of functions F which contains the identity function and is closed under composition. Write ≤F if for some function in F. Any such class of functions again determines a preorder on the subsets of Baire space. Degrees given by Lipschitz functions are called Lipschitz degrees, and degrees from Borel functions Borel-Wadge degrees.

Famous quotes containing the words notions and/or degree:
“the full analysis of the notions of saying something and understanding what one said inevitably involves a concept which, as I will show in detail, essentially corresponds to the Cartesian idea of thought.”
—Zeno Vendler (b. 1921)
“Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power—assuming that life itself is the will to power.”
