ELEMENTARY
In computational complexity theory, the complexity class ELEMENTARY is the union of the classes in the exponential hierarchy.
Whereas ELEMENTARY contains bounded applications of exponentiation (for example, 
), PR allows more general hyper operators (for example, 
, using Knuth's up-arrow notation) which are not contained in ELEMENTARY.
