Projection set (computer science)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The projection sentence is a sufficient criterion for a language to be recursively enumerable . A language can be enumerated recursively if it is the domain of a computable function.

The sentence is a recursion, which is why it is given in two parts:

  • A set A ⊂ ℕ can be enumerated recursively if it is the domain of a computable function.
  • A set A ⊂ ℕ k is recursively enumerable if and only if A = {x∈ℕ k | ∃t: (x, t) ∈B} for some B⊂ℕ k + 1 that is recursive.
