Extract

In this paper we continue our investigation of the Dedekind cardinals which was initiated in [2]. Those results are summarized below. Let ω be the finite cardinals and Δ the Dedekind cardinals. In [7] Myhill defined a class of functions ƒ: Χκω→ω, which he called the combinatorial functions, and which he applied to the study of recursive equivalence types.
