Abstract

Let a class ๐‘ธ of functions of natural argument be closed with respect to a superposition and contain the identity function. The set of permutations ฦ’ such that ฦ’, ฦ’โ€“1 โˆˆ ๐‘ธ forms a group (with respect to the operation of composition) which we denote by Gr(๐‘ธ). We prove the finite generability of Gr(๐‘ธ) for a large family of classes ๐‘ธ 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 โ‰ฅ 2.

It is proved that for the considered classes ๐‘ธ the minimum number of permutations generating the group Gr(๐‘ธ) 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.
