Projective Hierarchy - Relationship To The Analytical Hierarchy

Relationship To The Analytical Hierarchy

There is a close relationship between the relativized analytical hierarchy on subsets of Baire space and the projective hierarchy on subsets of Baire space. Not every subset of Baire space is . It is true, however, that if a subset X of Baire space is then there is a set of natural numbers A such that X is . A similar statement holds for sets. Thus the sets classified by the projective hierarchy are exactly the sets classified by the relativized version of the analytical hierarchy. This relationship is important in effective descriptive set theory.

A similar relationship between the projective hierarchy and the relativized analytical hierarchy holds for subsets of Cantor space and, more generally, subsets of any effective Polish space.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship to, relationship, analytical and/or hierarchy:

    Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.
    Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971)

    Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.
    Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

    I have seen too much not to know that the impression of a woman may be more valuable than the conclusion of an analytical reasoner.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.
