## Abstract We prove that the sharply bounded arithmetic T^0^~2~ in a language containing the function symbol β__x__ /2^__y__^ β (often denoted by MSP) is equivalent to PV~1~. (Β© 2006 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

The purpose of this note is to show that the independence results for sharply bounded arithmetic of Takeuti [4] and Tada and Tatsuta [3] can be obtained and, in case of the latter, improved by the model-theoretic method developed by the author in [2].
We define a property of substructures of models of arithmetic, that of being length-initial, and show that sharply bounded formulae are absolute between a model and its length-initial submodels. We use this to prove independence results for some weak fragments of bounded arithmetic by constructing a
The problem of the local stabilization of linear discrete-time systems subject to bounded controls and suffering from uncertainty of the norm-bounded time-varying type is addressed. From the solution of a certain discrete Riccati equation, a control gain and a set of safe initial conditions are obta
