Abstract.
We formulate epsilon substitution method for theories (H)α0 of absolute jump hierarchies, and give two termination proofs of the H-process: The first proof is an adaption of Mints M, Mints-Tupailo-Buchholz MTB, i.e., based on a cut-elimination of a specially devised infinitary calculus. The second one is an adaption of Ackermann Ack. Each termination proof is based on transfinite induction up to an ordinal θ(α0+ ω)0, which is best possible.
