MATHEMATICS

On undecidability of subset theories of some unars

B. N. Karlov

Tver State University, Tver, Russia

Abstract: This paper is dedicated to studying the algorithmic properties of unars with an injective function. We prove that the theory of every such unar admits quantifier elimination if the language is extended by a countable set of predicate symbols. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the quantifier elimination to be effective, and a criterion for decidability of theories of such unars is formulated. Using this criterion, we build a unar such that its theory is decidable, but the theory of the unar of its subsets is undecidable.

Keywords: unar, theory, decidability, quantifier elimination, subset algebra.
