About: Small Veblen ordinal

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In mathematics, the small Veblen ordinal is a certain large countable ordinal, named after Oswald Veblen. It is occasionally called the Ackermann ordinal, though the Ackermann ordinal described by is somewhat smaller than the small Veblen ordinal. There is no standard notation for ordinals beyond the Feferman–Schütte ordinal . Most systems of notation use symbols such as , , , some of which are modifications of the Veblen functions to produce countable ordinals even for uncountable arguments, and some of which are "collapsing functions".

dbo:abstract
  • In mathematics, the small Veblen ordinal is a certain large countable ordinal, named after Oswald Veblen. It is occasionally called the Ackermann ordinal, though the Ackermann ordinal described by is somewhat smaller than the small Veblen ordinal. There is no standard notation for ordinals beyond the Feferman–Schütte ordinal . Most systems of notation use symbols such as , , , some of which are modifications of the Veblen functions to produce countable ordinals even for uncountable arguments, and some of which are "collapsing functions". The small Veblen ordinal or is the limit of ordinals that can be described using a version of Veblen functions with finitely many arguments. It is the ordinal that measures the strength of Kruskal's theorem. It is also the ordinal type of a certain ordering of rooted trees. (en)
