AbstractCobham has observed that Raphael Robinson's well known essentially undecidable theoryR remains essentially undecidable if the fifth axiom scheme $$\left( {x \leqq \bar n \vee \bar n \leqq x} \right)$$ is omitted. We note that whether the resulting system is in a sense “minimal essentially undecidable” depends on what the basic constants are taken to be. We give an essentially undecidable theory based on three axiom schemes involving only multiplication and less than or equals.
HOW MUCH PROPOSITIONAL LOGIC SUFFICES FOR ROSSER’S ESSENTIAL UNDECIDABILITY THEOREM?

This result is based on a structural version of the undecidability argument introduced by Kleene and it is shown that it goes well beyond the scope of the Boolean, intuitionistic, or fuzzy logic.

Robinson's arithmetic Q is shown to be mutually interpretable with TC, a weak theory of concatenation introduced by Grzegorczyk, thus confirming their claim that F is essentially undecidable.
Weak Theories and Essential Incompleteness
This paper is motivated by the following question: what is the weakest theory that is essentially incomplete or essentially undecidable? An axiomatic theory T is complete if it is consistent and for

A simple and elementary proof of the equivalence of the weak representability with the (strong) representability of functions in sufficiently strong arithmetical theories is presented.

It is proved that the theory of concatenation WTC-ε, which is a weak subtheory of Grzegorczyk’s theory, is a minimal essentially undecidable theory, and that if one omits an axiom scheme from the theory, then the resulting theory is no longer essentially Undecidable.
FINDING THE LIMIT OF INCOMPLETENESS I

There is no theory with a minimal degree of Turing reducibility for which $\textsf {G1}$ holds, but it is shown that there are many such theories based on Jeřábek’s work using some model theory such that for any Turing degree, there is a theory T with Turing degree such that G1 holds.
