nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computability theory, a set is decidable, computable, or recursive if there is an algorithm that terminates after a finite amount of time and correctly decides whether or not a given object belongs to the set. Decidability of a set is of particular interest when the set is viewed as a decision problem; a decidable set is also a decidable problem, computable problem, and recursive problem. The remainder of this article uses the term decidable, although recursive and computable are equivalent in this context. A language is a set of finite strings over a particular alphabet. A language is decidable (also computable, recursive) if it is a decidable set. A set, language, or decision problem that is not decidable is undecidable, non-recursive, non-computable, or uncomputable. There are many known undecidable sets; one of the earliest, and most famous, examples is the halting problem.

About this title

Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computability theory, a set is decidable, computable, or recursive if there is an algorithm that terminates after a finite amount of time and correctly decides whether or not a given object belongs to the set. Decidability of a set is of particular interest when the set is viewed as a decision problem; a decidable set is also a decidable problem, computable problem, and recursive problem. The remainder of this article uses the term decidable, although recursive and computable are equivalent in this context. A language is a set of finite strings over a particular alphabet. A language is decidable (also computable, recursive) if it is a decidable set. A set, language, or decision problem that is not decidable is undecidable, non-recursive, non-computable, or uncomputable. There are many known undecidable sets; one of the earliest, and most famous, examples is the halting problem.
