Abstract
The paper studies \(\Sigma^{0}_{u}\) -computable families ( \(u\geqslant 2\) ) and their minimal numberings. It is proved that the class of all single-valued \(\Sigma^{0}_{u}\) -computable numberings of any \(\Sigma^{0}_{u}\) -computable infinite family of total functions is effectively infinite. It is established that for every \(\Sigma^{0}_{u-1}\) -computable numbering \(\nu\) of an infinite family of total functions there exists a uniformly \(\Sigma^{0}_{u-1}\) -computable sequence of its single-valued numberings such that \(\nu\) is reducible to their direct sum. It is also shown that if \(u>2\) , then every \(\Sigma^{0}_{u}\) -computable numbering of any infinite family is reducible to the direct sum of some uniformly \(\Sigma^{0}_{u}\) -computable and uniformly \(\Sigma^{0}_{u}\) -minimal sequence of numberings of the family.
