Abstract

Let a class 𝑸 of functions of natural argument be closed with respect to a superposition and contain the identity function. The set of permutations ƒ such that ƒ, ƒ–1 ∈ 𝑸 forms a group (with respect to the operation of composition) which we denote by Gr(𝑸). We prove the finite generability of Gr(𝑸) for a large family of classes 𝑸 satisfying some conditions. As an example, we consider the class FP of functions which are computable in polynomial time by a Turing machine. The obtained result is generalised to the classes of the Grzegorczyk system, n ≥ 2.

It is proved that for the considered classes 𝑸 the minimum number of permutations generating the group Gr(𝑸) is equal to two. More exactly, there exist two permutations of the given group such that any permutation of this group can be obtained by compositions of these permutations.
