Domain theory formalizes the intuitive ideas of approximation and convergence in a very general way, and provides a fundamental tool in the study of computing theory and computability theory. In search of complete lattices on which the Laswon topology is Hausdorff, Gierz, Lawson and Stralka introduced in [3] quasicontinuous lattices, which inherit many good properties of domains. Gierz, et al. pointed in [3] that Rudin's Lemma for finding a "cross-section" of certain descending family of sets plays a central role in the development of the whole theory of quasicontinuous lattices. In this paper, we study Rudin's Lemma from reverse mathematics point of view and prove that the Rudin's Lemma is equivalent to ACA0 over RCA0.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
