Abstract

We identify two properties that for P-selective sets are effectively computable. Namely, we show that, for any P-selective set, finding a string that is in a given length's top Toda equivalence class (very informally put, a string from \(\Sigma^n\) that the set's P-selector function declares to be most likely to belong to the set) is \({\rm FP}^{\Sigma^p_2}\) computable, and we show that each P-selective set contains a weakly-\(P^{\Sigma^p_2}\)-rankable subset.
