Often, the discussion is very specific, such as optimizing memory copies for a specific chip, and the... | | Computability Theory: An Introduction to Recursion Theory
The study of the class of computable partial functions (i.e., recursive partial functions)
stands at the intersection of three fields: mathematics, theoretical computer science,
and philosophy.
Mathematically, computability theory originates from the concept of an algorithm.
It leads to a classification of functions according... |
