Jan 27, 2010 at 15:02 comment added Joel David Hamkins It seems logic related, since (i) you are considering terms in a formal language, and (ii) you are asking a decidability question. Also, the paper to which you link seems to engage with several logic issues, including the MRDP theorem.

Jan 27, 2010 at 10:08 comment added Charles Stewart Joel: logic tag? My interest in the problem does stem from ordinal analysis, but the link is too obscure to justify it on those grounds. Why else might it count as logic?

clarify following comments
Jan 26, 2010 at 22:02 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez @Charles: Heh. The 'poly' in polynomial does not refer to the multiplicity of variables but of terms... You'd only improve your question by replacing 'monomial' by a more usual description. Also, please do not make corrections and clarifications to the question in the comments but in the actual question: you can edit it!
Jan 26, 2010 at 20:04 comment added Douglas Zare It looks like it would make sense either with unary exponentiation exp(x) and with binary exponentiation y^x. Which do you mean?
Jan 26, 2010 at 19:13 comment added Joel David Hamkins Could you clarify the precise sense of "monomial" that you mean here? And you only have one variable for the decision problem? And you only require dominance for integer n in that question? (And you may want to add the logic tag.)
