Abstract

In the present paper we shall try to characterize the properties of programmable functions and relations over some relational structures. The structures which constitute the major part of our investigations are the fields of real and complex numbers. We shall deal with some general questions concerning the elimination of while-statements. It will be shown that this elimination is possible for a wide class of programs over fields which satisfy a certain algebraic condition.
