## Abstract A hierarchy of functions with respect to their role as bounds in the Turing reducibility of functions is introduced and studied. This hierarchy leads to a certain notion of incompressibility of sets which is also investigated.

## Abstract We survey the research performed in the last few years on a specific topic: the power of real machines over binary inputs. This research attempts to characterize the classes of decision problems over a finite alphabet β say {0,1} β which can be decided by real machines working under sev
In this paper we show that Shannon's general purpose analog computer (GPAC) is equivalent to a particular class of recursive functions over the reals with the flavour of Kleene's classical recursive function theory. We first consider the GPAC and several of its extensions to show that all these mod
