Stephen Cole Kleene (/ ˈ k l eɪ n i / KLAY-nee; [a] January 5, 1909 – January 25, 1994) was an American mathematician.One of the students of Alonzo Church, Kleene, along with Rózsa Péter, Alan Turing, Emil Post, and others, is best known as a founder of the branch of mathematical logic known as recursion theory, which subsequently helped to provide the foundations of theoretical computer ...
Semantical systems claiming to capture such intuitions, due to offering meaningful concepts of “constructive truth” (rather than merely validity or provability), are Kurt Gödel’s dialectica interpretation, Stephen Cole Kleene’s realizability, Yurii Medvedev’s logic of finite problems, [2] or Giorgi Japaridze’s computability logic ...
Kleene's work with the proof theory of intuitionistic logic showed that constructive information can be recovered from intuitionistic proofs. For example, any provably total function in intuitionistic arithmetic is computable ; this is not true in classical theories of arithmetic such as Peano arithmetic .
The paradoxes, Kleene discusses Intuitionism and Formalism in depth. Throughout the rest of the book he treats, and compares, both Formalist (classical) and Intuitionist logics with an emphasis on the former. Stephen Cole Kleene and Richard Eugene Vesley, The Foundations of Intuitionistic Mathematics, North-Holland Publishing Co. Amsterdam ...
An illustration of how the levels of the hierarchy interact and where some basic set categories lie within it. In mathematical logic, the arithmetical hierarchy, arithmetic hierarchy or Kleene–Mostowski hierarchy (after mathematicians Stephen Cole Kleene and Andrzej Mostowski) classifies certain sets based on the complexity of formulas that define them.
Metamathematics provides "a rigorous mathematical technique for investigating a great variety of foundation problems for mathematics and logic" (Kleene 1952, p. 59). An important feature of metamathematics is its emphasis on differentiating between reasoning from inside a system and from outside a system.
In mathematics and theoretical computer science, a Kleene algebra (/ ˈ k l eɪ n i / KLAY-nee; named after Stephen Cole Kleene) is a semiring that generalizes the theory of regular expressions: it consists of a set supporting union (addition), concatenation (multiplication), and Kleene star operations subject to certain algebraic laws.
