Abstract:
We prove a criterion for the existence of a minimal numbering, which is reducible to a given numbering of an arbitrary set. The criterion is used to show that, for any infinite $A$-computable family $F$ of total functions, where $\varnothing'\le_TA$, the Rogers semilattice $\mathcal R_A(F)$ of $A$-computable numberings for $F$ contains an ideal without minimal elements.
