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.
