The Jordan decomposition theorem states that every function $f colon [0,1] to mathbb{R}$ of bounded variation can be written as the difference of two non-decreasing functions. Combining this fact with a result of Lebesgue, every function of bounded variation is differentiable almost everywhere in the sense of Lebesgue measure. We analyze the strength of these theorems in the setting of reverse mathematics. Over $mathsf{RCA}_0$, a stronger version of Jordans result where all functions are continuous is equivalent to $mathsf{ACA}_0$, while the version stated is equivalent to $mathsf{WKL}_0$. The result that every function on $[0,1]$ of bounded variation is almost everywhere differentiable is equivalent to $mathsf{WWKL}_0$. To state this equivalence in a meaningful way, we develop a theory of Martin-Lof randomness over $mathsf{RCA}_0$.
Using the tools of reverse mathematics in second-order arithmetic, as developed by Friedman, Simpson, and others, we determine the axioms necessary to develop various topics in commutative ring theory. Our main contributions to the field are as follo
In this paper we study the reverse mathematics of two theorems by Bonnet about partial orders. These results concern the structure and cardinality of the collection of the initial intervals. The first theorem states that a partial order has no infini
We investigate the strength of a randomness notion $mathcal R$ as a set-existence principle in second-order arithmetic: for each $Z$ there is an $X$ that is $mathcal R$-random relative to $Z$. We show that the equivalence between $2$-randomness and b
We introduce the notion of tau-like partial order, where tau is one of the linear order types omega, omega*, omega+omega*, and zeta. For example, being omega-like means that every element has finitely many predecessors, while being zeta-like means th
Ramseys theorem for pairs asserts that every 2-coloring of the pairs of integers has an infinite monochromatic subset. In this paper, we study a strengthening of Ramseys theorem for pairs due to Erdos and Rado, which states that every 2-coloring of t
