Buchholz psi functions

Summary

Buchholz's psi-functions are a hierarchy of single-argument ordinal functions ψν(α)\psi_\nu(\alpha) introduced by German mathematician Wilfried Buchholz in 1986. These functions are a simplified version of the θ\theta-functions, but nevertheless have the same strength as those. Later on this approach was extended by Jäger and Schütte.
