Nonstandard analysis is a way of doing calculus and analysis with infinitesimals. The historical approach of Leibniz, Euler, and others to infinitesimal calculus was gradually replaced by epsilon, delta techniques in the context of a real continuum, in the 19th century. It was not until the 1960s that Abraham Robinson developed a theory of a hyperreal continuum that allows for a development of analysis procedurally akin to that of its founders.

Turing degree of a turing machine with access to an (arbitrary) nonstandard integer
Let us consider Turing machines (or other Turing-complete model of computation) that, in addition to their regular input, are given some integer $H$, where $H$ is positive nonstandard. This means, in …

A definition of topology using monads (a.k.a. halos)
In nonstandard analysis, there is a way of studying topological spaces known as "monads" (more commonly known as halos, as it turns out). The monad of a point $x$ (written $\mu(x))$ is the set of all …

In constructive set theory, is it consistent for there to be a ring that models smooth infin...
In a constructive set theory such as CZF, it is consistent to assume that every function $f : \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ is continuous. However, it is not consistent to assume that every such function i …

Decidability of a first-order theory of hyperreals
The theory of real closed fields is decidable. The hyperreals satisfy that theory, so we can interpret statements in the theory of real closed fields as being about hyperreals.
If we add a unary predi …

What is the Turing degree associated with an ultrafilter $U$?
I asked Turing degree of a turing machine with access to an (arbitrary) nonstandard integer, not thinking about the possiblity that this could depend on the model used. The question was not formulated …

What is the theory of computably saturated models of ZFC with an *externally well-founded* p...
For any model of $M$ of ZFC, we can extend it to a model $M_{ew}$ with an "externally well-founded" predicate $ew$. For $x \in M$, We say that $M_{ew} \vDash ew(x)$ when there is no infinite sequence …

Is there a constructive version of internal set theory?
Is there a theory T such that:
T includes all the axioms of CZF.
T includes the Idealization, Standardization, and Transfer schemas from IST.
Every axiom of T is a theorem of IST.
T has Church's rule …
