We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:
| Implication | Reference |
|---|---|
| 231 \(\Rightarrow\) 32 | clear |
| 32 \(\Rightarrow\) 5 | clear |
| 5 \(\Rightarrow\) 38 |
Non-constructive properties of the real numbers, Howard, P. 2001, Math. Logic Quart. |
Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:
| Howard-Rubin Number | Statement |
|---|---|
| 231: | \(UT(WO,WO,WO)\): The union of a well ordered collection of well orderable sets is well orderable. |
| 32: | \(C(\aleph_0,\le\aleph_0)\): Every denumerable set of non-empty countable sets has a choice function. |
| 5: | \(C(\aleph_0,\aleph_0,\Bbb R)\): Every denumerable set of non-empty denumerable subsets of \({\Bbb R}\) has a choice function. |
| 38: | \({\Bbb R}\) is not the union of a countable family of countable sets. |
