This instruction takes an integer x and instantly returns whether x belongs to B.
The oracle machine should compute A, possibly using this special capability to decide B.
The reduction can be defined by a Turing machine with a special oracle query instruction which takes no parameter, and either returns a new element of B, or returns no output.
It can possibly return no output for some queries before resuming the enumeration.
[1] Repetitions in the enumerations of A and B may be permitted or not; the concept is equivalent in both cases.
Although this could be made precise, the definition given below is more common since it is formally simpler.
The concept of enumeration reducibility was first introduced by the results of John Myhill, which concluded that "a set is many-one complete if and only if it is recursively enumerable and its complement is productive".
[citation needed] Enumeration reducibility was later formally codified by Rogers and his collaborator Richard M. Friedberg in Zeitschrift für mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik (the predecessor of Mathematical Logic Quarterly) in 1959.
[5] In addition to enumeration reducibility, there exist strong versions, the most important one being s-reducibility (named after Robert M. Solovay).
S-reducibility states that a computably enumerable real set
[7] This method shows similarity to e-reducibility in that it compares the elements of multiple sets.
In addition, the structure of s-degrees have natural analogs in the enumeration degrees.
[6] The reasoning for using s-reducibility is summarized by Omandaze and Sorbi as a result of positive reducibility models being unable to answer certain oracle questions (e.g. an answer to "Is
because they inherently model computational situations where incomplete oracle information is available.
[8] This is in contrast from the well-studied Turing reducibility, in which information is captured in both negative and positive values.
In addition, T-reducibility uses information that is provided immediately and without delay.
A strong reducibility is utilized in order to prevent problems occurring when incomplete information is supplied.
