A Ring structure on the Class of Combinatorial Games
Harry Altman, Paolo Lipparini
J. Conway defined useful operations on the Class of combinatorial games and also introduced a notion of equivalence between games. Conway showed that, under his equivalence, games…
Bounding finite-image sequences of length
Harry Altman
Given a well-quasi-order and an ordinal , the set of transfinite sequences on with length less than and with finite image is also a well-quasi-order, a…
Integer complexity: Stability and self-similarity
Harry Altman, Juan Arias de Reyna
Define to be the complexity of , the smallest number of ones needed to write using an arbitrary combination of addition and multiplication. The set of…
Maximum linearizations of lower sets in with application to monomial ideals
Harry Altman, Andreas Weiermann
We compute the type (maximum linearization) of the well partial order of bounded lower sets in , ordered under inclusion, and find it is . Moreover we…
