comment Complexity of transforming an indirect proof into a direct one
To answer your second question : $f(n)=m$ expresses that if we a have an indirect proof of length $\leq n$, then there is a corresponding direct proof of length $\leq m$ (where “indirect proof of $\phi$” means a proof in ZFC' of $ZFC \vdash \phi$, and a “direct proof of $\phi$” means simply a proof in ZFC of $\phi$).

comment Complexity of transforming an indirect proof into a direct one
Before answering more fully your questions, let me say that the main idea is this : we have an “indirect” proof of length $n$, i.e. a “proof that a proof exists”. If we convert it into a “direct” proof (and we know we can, in theory), can we control the size of the new proof in terms of $n$ ?

comment Complexity of transforming an indirect proof into a direct one
You’ve indeed answered the initial question I asked, but as usual I misstated what I had in mind, I was actually thinking about another function $f_3$, I’ve just corrected the OP, sorry about that.

comment Some Results in $\mathbb{Z} [\sqrt{10}]$
Yes, your answer to (1) is OK. You got it wrong about (2) : the ring ${\mathbb Z}[\sqrt{10}]$ is not a principal ideal domain (this is what (3) shows)

comment Maximum size of k-uniform set family that satisfies a condition
What does “$k$-uniform” mean ? Simply that there are $k$ elements in the set ?
