In mathematical logic, the primitive recursive functionals are a generalization of primitive recursive functions into higher type theory. They consist of a collection of functions in all pure finite types. The primitive recursive functionals are important in proof theory and constructive mathematics They are a central part of the Dialectica interpretation of intuitionistic arithmetic developed by Kurt Gödel.

  • In mathematical logic, the primitive recursive functionals are a generalization of primitive recursive functions into higher type theory. They consist of a collection of functions in all pure finite types. The primitive recursive functionals are important in proof theory and constructive mathematics They are a central part of the Dialectica interpretation of intuitionistic arithmetic developed by Kurt Gödel. In recursion theory, the primitive recursive functionals are an example of higher-type computability, as primitive recursive functions are examples of Turing computability.
