Abstract

A real number x is f-bounded computable (f-bc, for short) for a function f if there is a computable sequence (x"s) of rational numbers which converges to x f-bounded effectively in the sense that, for any natural number n, the sequence (x"s) has at most f(n) non-overlapping jumps of size larger than 2^-^n. f-bc reals are called divergence bounded computable if f is computable. In this paper we give a hierarchy theorem for Turing degrees of different classes of f-bc reals. More precisely, we will show that, for any computable functions f and g, if there exists a constant @c1 such that, for any constant c, f(n@c)+n+c=
