2. Recursion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

   Recursion in computer programming is exemplified when a function is defined in terms of simpler, often smaller versions of itself. The solution to the problem is then devised by combining the solutions obtained from the simpler versions of the problem. One example application of recursion is in parsers for programming languages. The great ...

3. Recursion (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

   In computer science, recursion is a method of solving a computational problem where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem. [1] [2] Recursion solves such recursive problems by using functions that call themselves from within their own code. The approach can be applied to many types of problems, and recursion ...

4. Mutual recursion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_recursion

   These examples reduce easily to a single recursive function by inlining the forest function in the tree function, which is commonly done in practice: directly recursive functions that operate on trees sequentially process the value of the node and recurse on the children within one function, rather than dividing these into two separate functions.

5. List of undecidable problems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_undecidable_problems

   In computability theory, an undecidable problem is a decision problem for which an effective method (algorithm) to derive the correct answer does not exist. More formally, an undecidable problem is a problem whose language is not a recursive set ; see the article Decidable language .

6. Primitive recursive function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_recursive_function

   A total recursive function is a partial recursive function that is defined for every input. Every primitive recursive function is total recursive, but not all total recursive functions are primitive recursive. The Ackermann function A(m,n) is a well-known example of a total recursive function (in fact, provable total), that is not primitive ...

7. Computability theory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computability_theory

   Thus the halting problem is an example of a computably enumerable (c.e.) set, which is a set that can be enumerated by a Turing machine (other terms for computably enumerable include recursively enumerable and semidecidable). Equivalently, a set is c.e. if and only if it is the range of some computable function.

8. General recursive function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_recursive_function

   The μ-recursive functions (or general recursive functions) are partial functions that take finite tuples of natural numbers and return a single natural number.They are the smallest class of partial functions that includes the initial functions and is closed under composition, primitive recursion, and the minimization operator μ.

9. RE (complexity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RE_(complexity)

   The set of recursive languages is a subset of both RE and co-RE. [3] In fact, it is the intersection of those two classes, because we can decide any problem for which there exists a recogniser and also a co-recogniser by simply interleaving them until one obtains a result.
