description

The paper deals with using topological concepts in studies of the Gold paradigm of inductive inference. They are — accumulation points, derived sets of order α (α — constructive ordinal) and compactness. Identifiability of a class U of total recursive functions with a bound α on the number of mindchanges implies \(U^{(\alpha + 1)} = \not 0\). This allows to construct counter-examples — recursively enumerable classes of functions showing the proper inclusion between identification types: EXα⊂EXα+1.
