Abstract

A real number x is called binary enumerable, if there is an effective way to enumerate all "1"-positions in the binary expansion of x. If at most k corrections for any position are allowed in the above enumerations, then x is called binary k-enumerable. Furthermore, if the number of the corrections is bounded by some computable function, then x is called binary ω-enumerable. This paper discusses some basic properties of binary enumerable real numbers. Especially, we show that there are two binary enumerable real numbers x and y such that their difference x - y is not binary ω-enumerable (in fact we have shown that it is even of no "ω-r.e. Turing degree").
