Abstract

We investigate the notion of K-triviality for closed sets and continuous functions. Every K-trivial closed set contains a K-trivial real. There exists a K-trivial \(\Pi^0_1\) class with no computable elements. For any K-trivial degree d, there is a K-trivial continuous function of degree d.
