Abstract

The Suslin operator E 1 is a type-2 functional testing for the well-foundedness of binary relations on the natural numbers. In the context of applicative theories, its proof-theoretic strength has been analyzed in Jäger and Strahm (2002) [18]. This article provides a more direct approach to the computation of the upper bounds in question. Several theories featuring the Suslin operator are embedded into ordinal theories tailored for dealing with non-monotone inductive definitions that enable a smooth definition of the application relation.
