Predicative Arithmetic. (Mn-32) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780691610290)

This book develops arithmetic without the induction principle, working in theories that are interpretable in Raphael Robinson's theory Q. Certain inductive formulas, the bounded ones, are interpretable in Q. A mathematically strong, but logically very weak, predicative arithmetic is constructed.

Originally published in 1986.
