Abstract

This paper extends the order-theoretic approach to computable analysis via continuous domains to complete metric spaces and Banach spaces. We employ the domain of formal balls to define a computability theory for complete metric spaces. For Banach spaces, the domain specialises to the domain of closed balls, ordered by reversed inclusion. We characterise computable linear operators as those which map computable sequences to computable sequences and are effectively bounded. We show that the domain-theoretic computability theory is equivalent to the wellestablished approach by Pour-El and Richards. 1 Introduction This paper is part of a programme to introduce the theory of continuous domains as a new approach to computable analysis. Initiated by the various applications of continuous domain theory to modelling classical mathematical spaces and performing computations as outlined in the recent survey paper by Edalat [6], the authors started this work with [9] which was concerned with co...
