Abstract

In this paper we study some important properties of numerations such as precompleteness, acceptability, etc. which can be passed on to their retracts. Furthermore we show a necessary and sufficient condition for a category Ret(α) of retracts of a numeration α and morphisms to be normal effectively Cartesian closed, in terms of α. We also study some examples of such numeration-theoretic retract calculus.
