List of things named after Alfred Tarski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the history of mathematics, Alfred Tarski (1901–1983) is one of the most important logicians. His name is now associated with a number of theorems and concepts in that field.
Theorems
- Łoś–Tarski preservation theorem
- Knaster–Tarski theorem (sometimes referred to as Tarski's fixed point theorem)
- Tarski's undefinability theorem
- Tarski–Seidenberg theorem
- Some fixed point theorems, usually variants of the Kleene fixed-point theorem, are referred to the Tarski–Kantorovitch fixed–point principle or the Tarski–Kantorovitch theorem although the use of this terminology is limited.
