In [4], Metakides and Nerode define a recursively presented vector space V∞. over a (finite or infinite) recursive field F to consist of a recursive subset U of the natural numbers N and operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication which are partial recursive and under which V∞ becomes a vector space. Throughout this paper, we will identify V∞ with N, say via some fixed Gödel numbering, and assume V∞ is infinite dimensional and has a dependence algorithm, i.e., there is a uniform effective procedure which determines whether any given n-tuple v0, …, vn−1 from V∞ is linearly dependent. Given a subspace W of V∞, we write dim(W) for the dimension of W. Given subspaces V and W of V∞, V + W will denote the weak sum of V and W and if V ∩ W = {0) (where 0 is the zero vector of V∞), we write V ⊕ W instead of V + W. If W ⊇ V, we write W mod V for the quotient space. An independent set A ⊆ V∞ is extendible if there is a r.e. independent set I ⊇ A such that I − A is infinite and A is nonextendible if it is not the case that A is extendible.

The concern of this paper is with recursively enumerable and co-recursively enumerable subspaces of a recursively presented vector spaceV∞ over a (finite or infinite) recursive field F which is defined in [6] to consist of a recursive subset U of the natural numbers N and operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication which are partial recursive and under which V∞ becomes a vector space. Throughout this paper, we will identify V∞ with N, say via some fixed Gödel numbering, and assume V∞ is infinite dimensional and has a dependence algorithm, i.e., there is a uniform effective procedure which determines whether or not any given n-tuple v0, …, vn−1 from V∞ is linearly dependent. Various properties of V∞ and its sub-spaces have been studied by Dekker [1], Guhl [3], Metakides and Nerode [6], Kalantari and Retzlaff [4], and the author [7].Given a subspace W of V∞, we say W is r.e. (co-r.e.) if W(V∞ − W) is an r.e. subset of N and write dim(V) for the dimension of V. Given subspaces V, W of V∞, V + W will denote the weak sum of V and W and if V ⋂ M = {0} (where 0 is the zero vector of V∞), we write V ⊕ Winstead of V + W. If W ⊇ V, we write Wmod V for the quotient space. An independent set A ⊆ V∞ is extendible if there is an r.e. independent set I ⊇ A such that I − A is infinite and A is nonextendible if it is not the case An is extendible. A r.e. subspace M ⊇ V∞ is maximal if dim(V∞ mod M) = ∞ and for any r.e. subspace W ⊇ Meither dim(W mod M) < ∞ or dim(V∞ mod W) < ∞.

Let N denote the natural numbers. If A ⊆ N, we write Ā for the complement of A in N. A set A ⊆ N is cohesive if (i) A is infinite and (ii) for any recursively enumerable set W either W ∩ A or ∩ A is finite. A r.e. set M ⊆ N is maximal if is cohesive.A recursively presented vector space (r.p.v.s.) U over a recursive field F consists of a recursive set U ⊆ N and operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication which are partial recursive and under which U becomes a vector space. A r.p.v.s. U has a dependence algorithm if there is a uniform effective procedure which applied to any n-tuple ν0, ν1, …, νn−1 of elements of U determines whether or not ν0, ν1 …, νn−1 are linearly dependent. Throughout this paper we assume that if U is a r.p.v.s. over a recursive field F then U is infinite dimensional and U = N. If W ⊆ U, then we say W is recursive (r.e., etc.) iff W is a recursive (r.e., etc.) subset of N. If S ⊆ U, we write (S)* for the subspace generated by S. If V1 and V2 are subspaces of U such that V1 ∩ V2 ={} (where is the zero vector of U), then we write V1 ⊕ V2 for (V1 ∪ V2)*. If V1 ⊆ V2⊆U are subspaces, we write V2/V1 for the quotient space.

An infinite-dimensional vector space V∞ over a recursive field F is called fully effective if V∞ is a recursive set identified with ω upon which the operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication are recursive functions, identity is a recursive relation, and V∞ has a dependence algorithm, that is a uniformly effective procedure which when applied to x, a1,…,an, ∈ V∞ determines whether or not x is an element of {a1,…,an}* (the subspace generated by {a1,…,an}). The study of V∞, and of its lattice of r.e. subspaces L(V∞), was introduced in Metakides and Nerode [15]. Since then both V∞ and L(V∞) (and many other effective algebraic systems) have been studied quite intensively. The reader is directed to [5] and [17] for a good bibliography in this area, and to [15] for any unexplained notation and terminology.In [15] Metakides and Nerode observed that a study of L(V∞) may in some ways be modelled upon a study of L(ω), the lattice of r.e. sets. For example, they showed how an e-state construction could be modified to produce an r.e. maximal subspace, where M ∈ L(V∞) is maximal if dim(V∞/M) = ∞ and, for all W ∈ L(V∞), if W ⊃ M then either dim(W/M) < ∞ or dim(V∞/W) < ∞.However, some of the most interesting features of L(V∞) are those which do not have analogues in L(ω). Our concern here, which is probably one of the most striking characteristics of L(V∞), falls into this category. We say M ∈ L(V∞) is supermaximal if dim(V∞/M) = ∞ and for all W ∈ L(V∞), if W ⊃ M then dim(W/M) < ∞ or W = V∞. These subspaces were discovered by Kalantari and Retzlaff [13].

Let V∞ be a fully effective infinite dimensional vector space over a recursive field F. That is, we assume that the universe of V∞ is a recursive set, the operations of addition and scalar multiplication are recursive, and there is a uniform effective procedure to decide whether any finite set {υ0, …, υn} of vectors from V∞ is independent. The lattice of recursively enumerable subspaces has been extensively studied since its introduction by Metakides and Nerode [MN1] (see for example, [Do2], [Gu], [KR], [Re1], [Re2], and [Sh]). For those unfamiliar with the literature on , we shall give a list of basic definitions required for this paper in §0.It is well known that complements in V∞ are not unique. For example, in [Re2] Remmel constructed r.e. spaces M1 and M2 and co-r.e. spaces Q1 and Q2 such that for all i, j ∈ {1, 2}, Mi ⊕ Qj = V∞ and M1 is supermaximal, M2 is not maximal, Q1 has a fully extendible basis, and Q2 has no extendible basis. We say a subspace Q of V∞ is fully co-r.e. if Q is generated by a co-r.e. subset of some recursive basis of V∞. Downey [Do2] has shown that every r.e. subspace of V∞ has a complement which is a fully co-r.e. subspace. Moreover suppose Q is any fully co-r.e. subspace, say Q = (C)* where C is a co-r.e. subset of a recursive basis B of V∞; if C is nonrecursive, then it is shown in [Do2] that Q has a decidable complement as well as a nondecidable nowhere simple complement.

Terminology and notation may be found in Dekker [1] and [2]. Briefly, we fix a recursively enumerable (r.e.) field F with recursive structure, and let Ū be the vector space over F consisting of ultimately vanishing countable sequences of elements of F with the usual definitions of vector addition and multiplication by a scalar. A subspace V of Ū is called an α-space if V has a basis B which is contained in some r.e. linearly independent set S.

We consider subspaces of a vector space UF, which is countably infinite dimensional over a recursively enumerable field F with recursive operations, where the operations in UF are also recursive, and where, of course, F and UF are sets of natural numbers. It is the object of this paper to investigate recursive equivalence types of such vector spaces and the ways in which their properties are analogous to and depend on properties of recursive equivalence types of sets.

Based on the natural vector addition and scalar multiplication, the set of all bounded and closed intervals in R cannot form a vector space. This is mainly because the zero element does not exist. In this paper, we endow a norm to the interval space in which the axioms are almost the same as the axioms of conventional norm by involving the concept of null set. Under this consideration, we shall propose two different concepts of open balls. Based on the open balls, we shall also propose the different types of open sets, which can generate many different topologies.

This paper is based on the notions originally described by Dekker [2], [3], and the reader is referred to these for explanation of notation etc. Briefly, we are concerned with a countably infinite dimensional countable vector space Ū with recursive operations, regarded as being coded as a set of natural numbers. Necessarily, then, Ū must be a vector space over a field which itself is in some sense recursively enumerable and has recursive operations.

The area of interest of this paper is recursively enumerable vector spaces; its origins lie in the works of Rabin [16], Dekker [4], [5], Crossley and Nerode [3], and Metakides and Nerode [14]. We concern ourselves here with questions about maximal vector spaces, a notion introduced by Metakides and Nerode in [14]. The domain of discourse is V∞ a fully effective, countably infinite dimensional vector space over a recursive infinite field F.By fully effective we mean that V∞, under a fixed Gödel numbering, has the following properties:(i) The operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication on V∞ are represented by recursive functions.(ii) There is a uniform effective procedure which, given n vectors, determines whether or not they are linearly dependent (the procedure is called a dependence algorithm).We denote the Gödel number of x by ⌈x⌉ By taking {εn ∣ n > 0} to be a fixed recursive basis for V∞, we may effectively represent elements of V∞ in terms of this basis. Each element of V∞ may be identified uniquely by a finitely-nonzero sequence from F Under this identification, εn corresponds to the sequence whose n th entry is 1 and all other entries are 0. A recursively enumerable (r.e.) space is a subspace of V∞ which is an r.e. set of integers, ℒ(V∞) denotes the lattice of all r.e. spaces under the operations of intersection and weak sum. For V, W ∈ ℒ(V∞), let V mod W denote the quotient space. Metakides and Nerode define an r.e. space M to be maximal if V∞ mod M is infinite dimensional and for all V ∈ ℒ(V∞), if V ⊇ M then either V mod M or V∞ mod V is finite dimensional. That is, M has a very simple lattice of r.e. superspaces.
