Abstract
We explore Solovay reducibility in the context of computably approximable reals, extending its natural characterization for left-c.e. reals via computable Lipschitz functions. Our paper offers two distinct characterizations: the first employs Lipschitz functions, while the second utilizes Turing reductions with bounded use with respect to signed-digit representation. Additionally, we examine multiple related reducibilities and establish separations among them. These results contribute to a refined perspective of the relationship between Solovay reducibility and computable Lipschitz functions.
