finitary, a. Math.|ˈfaɪnɪtərɪ| [f. finite a. after unitary, translating G. finit (Hilbert & Bernays Grundl. d. Math. (1934) I. 32).] Of methods, proofs, etc.: involving only a finite number of steps, a finite number of well-defined objects, and so on; capable of being completed within the concrete domain.
1952S. C. Kleene Introd. Metamath. iii. 63 Methods, called finitary by the formalists, which employ only intuitively conceivable objects and performable processes. (We translate the German ‘finit’ as ‘finitary’, since the English ‘finite’ is used for the German ‘endlich’.) 1963G. T. Kneebone Math. Logic vii. 205 We can now reformulate in finitary terms the usual arguments. 1965A. S. & E. H. Luchins Log. Found. Math. ix. 145 Hilbert did not offer a precise specification of what procedures were regarded by him as finitary. |
