A blend of methods of recursion theory and topology Original Research Article

This paper is a culmination of our new foundations for recursive analysis through recursive topology as reported in Kalantari and Welch (Ann Pure Appl. Logic 93 (1998) 125; 98 (1999) 87). While in those papers we developed groundwork for an approach to point free analysis and applied recursion theory, in this paper we blend techniques of recursion theory with those of topology to establish new findings. We present several new techniques different from existing ones which yield interesting results. Incidental to our work is a unifying explanation of various schools of study for recursive analysis.
