Abstract

A decidable transfinite hierarchy is defined by assigning ordinals to the programs of an imperative language. It singles out: the classes TIMEF(nc) and TIMEF(nc); the finite Grzegorczyk classes at and above the elementary level, and the Σk-IND fragments of PA. Limited operators, diagonalization, and majorization functions are not used.
