From textbook A Course in Mathematical Analysis by Prof D. J. H. Garling, I'm not able to understand how he generalizes recursion theorem.



In the first step, he states the theorem:
enter image description here



Here, mapping $s:P→P$ satisfies Peano’s axioms.



In the second step, he reasons:
enter image description here



Finally, he gets the theorem in a more general form:
enter image description here



My confusion is that:



  1. In the original theorem, for each $bara$, there exists a unique mapping $a:P → A$ such that $a_0=bara$ and $a_s(n)=f(a_n)$ $forall nin P$. We substitute $P$ by $Z^+$. As a result, for each $bara$, there exists a unique mapping $a:Z^+ → A$ such that $a_0=bara$ and $a_s(n)=f(a_n)$ $forall nin Z^+$. However, I don't understand how the author derives the mapping $f^n:A → A$ from the mapping $a:Z^+ → A$.


  2. In the second step, the author lets $f^n(bara)=a_n$. This means $f^0(bara)=a_0$, $f^1(bara)=a_1$, $f^2(bara)=a_2$, ..., $f^n(bara)=a_n$. From my understanding, he only defines $f^0, f^1, f^2, f^3,..., f^n$ for only $bara$. I don't understand how the author defines $f^0, f^1, f^2, f^3,..., f^n$ for the other elements in A.


  3. $(f^n(bara)=a_n$ and it is possible that $ran(a)subsetneq A) → ran(f^n)subsetneq A$. How can $f^n$ be defined for all $ain A$?


For the sake of clarity, there is a screenshot of full proof of recursion theorem by the author at Possible typos in the proof of Recursion Theorem.



Many thanks for clarifying my doubt!

Intuitively, to construct $f^n$ we must specify $f^n(bar a)$ for each $bar ain A$. So for each $bar ain A$, apply Theorem 1.8.1 to obtain a sequence $a$ (this depends on $bar a$), and let $f^n(bar a)=a(n)$.



More formally we could define $f^n$ as
$$
pin Atimes A:textthere exists g:mathbf Z^+to Atext with gcirc s=fcirc g,,g(0)=p_1,,g(n)=p_2.
$$
I claim that for all $ain A$, $|f^ncap(atimes A)|=1$. Indeed fix $ain A$. By Theorem 1.8.1, there exists $g:mathbf Z^+to A$ with $gcirc s=fcirc g$ and $g(0)=a$. Then $(a,g(n))in f^n$. Conversely if $pin f^ncap(atimes A)$ then there exists $g':mathbf Z^+to A$ with $g'circ s=fcirc g$, $g'(0)=p_1=a$ and $g'(n)=p_2$. By the uniqueness in Theorem 1.8.1, $g'=g$, so $p_2=g(n)$. Thus $f^ncap(atimes A)=(a,g(n))$. This shows $f^n$ is a function.

Intuitively, to construct $f^n$ we must specify $f^n(bar a)$ for each $bar ain A$. So for each $bar ain A$, apply Theorem 1.8.1 to obtain a sequence $a$ (this depends on $bar a$), and let $f^n(bar a)=a(n)$.



More formally we could define $f^n$ as
$$
pin Atimes A:textthere exists g:mathbf Z^+to Atext with gcirc s=fcirc g,,g(0)=p_1,,g(n)=p_2.
$$
I claim that for all $ain A$, $|f^ncap(atimes A)|=1$. Indeed fix $ain A$. By Theorem 1.8.1, there exists $g:mathbf Z^+to A$ with $gcirc s=fcirc g$ and $g(0)=a$. Then $(a,g(n))in f^n$. Conversely if $pin f^ncap(atimes A)$ then there exists $g':mathbf Z^+to A$ with $g'circ s=fcirc g$, $g'(0)=p_1=a$ and $g'(n)=p_2$. By the uniqueness in Theorem 1.8.1, $g'=g$, so $p_2=g(n)$. Thus $f^ncap(atimes A)=(a,g(n))$. This shows $f^n$ is a function.

  • By my understanding of your answer, I get: 1. Mapping $f^n$ depends on $ain A$. This means for each $ain A$, there exists a unique mapping $f^n$. 2. For each $ain A$, $f^n=(a,p)in Atimes A:exists g:mathbf Z^+to Atext s.t gcirc s=fcirc g,,p=g(n).$ Is it right?

  • No, $f^n$ does not depend on $a$. $f^n(a)$ depends on $a$. I defined $f^n$ as a subset of $Atimes A$, so $f^ncap(atimes A)$ is also a subset of $Atimes A$, and I prove it has one element. In other words, for each $ain A$ there is a unique $bin A$ such that $(a,b)in f^n$; this ensures $f^n$ is a function.
