Functional representation of preiterative/combinatory formalism. (English) Zbl 1097.03012
Summary: Both formalisms model systems of multi-argument selfmaps closed under composition as well as argument permutation and identification by using abstract algebraic operations for these transformations and substitutions. Developed are additional requirements for each system to be representable as a system of concrete selfmaps on some set in which these operations act in the expected way.
