Medvedev reducibility

In computability theory, a set P of functions is said to be Medvedev-reducible to another set Q of functions when there exists an oracle Turing machine that computes some function of P whenever it is given some function from Q as an oracle.

Medvedev reducibility is a uniform variant of Mučnik reducibility, requiring a single oracle machine that can compute some function of P given any oracle from Q, instead of a family of oracle machines, one per oracle from Q, that compute functions from P.
