基本説明
Presents an applied form of proof theory that has led to new results in number theory, approximation theory, nonlinear analysis, geodesic geometry and ergodic theory (among others) in recent years.
Full Description
This is the first treatment in book format of proof-theoretic transformations - known as proof interpretations - that focuses on applications to ordinary mathematics. It covers both the necessary logical machinery behind the proof interpretations that are used in recent applications as well as - via extended case studies - carrying out some of these applications in full detail. This subject has historical roots in the 1950s. This book for the first time tells the whole story.
