Rayo's number is a large number named after Agustín Rayo which has been claimed to be the largest named number.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://mathfactor.uark.edu/2007/04/ch-rayos-number/ )〕 It was originally defined in a "big number duel" at MIT on 26 January 2007. == Definition == The definition of Rayo's number is a variation on the definition: The smallest number bigger than any finite number named by an expression in the language of set theory with a googol symbols or less. Specifically, an initial version of the definition, which was later clarified, read "The smallest number bigger than any number that can be named by an expression in the language of first order set-theory with less than a googol (10100) symbols."〔 The formal definition of the number uses the following second-order formula, where () is a Gödel-coded formula and s is a variable assignment:〔 Given this formula, Rayo's number is defined as:〔 The smallest number bigger than every finite number m with the following property: there is a formula φ(x1) in the language of first-order set-theory (as presented in the definition of `Sat') with less than a googol symbols and x1 as its only free variable such that: (a) there is a variable assignment s assigning m to x1 such that Sat((),s), and (b) for any variable assignment t, if Sat((),t), then t assigns m to x1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rayo's number」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
