refimprove date February 2010 In computabilitytheory a numbering is the assignment of natural number s to a Set mathematics set of objects like rational number s, Graph mathematics graph s or words in some language . A numbering can be used to transfer the idea of computability and related concepts, which are strictly defined on the natural numbers using computable function s, to different objects. Important numberings are the G del numbering of the terms in first order predicate calculus and numberings of the set of computable functions which can be used to apply results of computabilitytheory on the set of computable functions itself. Definition A numbering of a set math S math is a partial function partial surjective function math nu subseteq mathbb N to S. math The value of math nu math at math i math if defined is often written math nu i math instead of the usual math nu i math . math nu math is called a total numbering if math nu math is a total function . If math S math is a set of natural numbers, then math nu math is required to be a partial recursive function . If math S math is a set of subsets of the natural numbers, then the set math langle i,j rangle j in nu i math using the Cantor pairing function is required to be recursively enumerable . Examples Given a G del numbering math varphi i math we can define a numbering of the recursively enumerable set s by math W i mathrm domain varphi i math Properties It is often more convenient to work with a total numbering than with a partial one. If the domain function domain of a partial numbering is recursively enumerable then there always exists an equivalent total numbering. Comparison of numberings Using computable function we can define a partial ordering on the set of all numberings. Given two numberings math ...

In computabilitytheory , the mortality problem is a decision problem which can be stated as follows Given a Turing machine , decide whether it halts when run on any configuration not necessarily a starting one In the statement above, the configuration is a pair q, w , where q is one of the machine s states not necessarily its initial state and w is an infinite sequence of symbols representing the initial content of the tape. Note that while we usually assume that in the starting configuration all but finitely many cells on the tape are blanks, in the mortality problem the tape can have arbitrary content, including infinitely many non blank symbols written on it. Philip K. Hooper proved in 1966 that the mortality problem is undecidable problem undecidable . However, it can be shown that the set of Turing machines which are mortal i.e. halt on every starting configuration is recursively enumerable .

Merge Computabilitytheory date August 2011 Logics for computability are formulations of logic which capture some aspect of computability as a basic notion. This usually involves a mix of special logical connective s as well as semantics which explains how the logic is to be interpreted in a computational way. Probably the first formal treatment of logic for computability is the realizability interpretation by Stephen Kleene in 1945, who gave an interpretation of intuitionistic number theory in terms of Turing machine computations. His motivation was to make precise the Heyting Brouwer Kolmogorov BHK interpretation of intuitionism, according to which proofs of mathematical statements are to be viewed as constructive procedures. With the rise of many other kinds of logic, such as modal logic and linear logic , and novel semantic models, such as game semantics , logics for computability have been formulated in several contexts. Here we mention two. Modal logic for computability Kleene s original ... computability and logic. It was extended to full higher order intuitionistic logic by Martin ...

T theory is a branch of discrete mathematics dealing with analysis of tree graph theory tree s and discrete metric spaces . General history As per Andreas Dress , T theory originated from a question raised by Manfred Eigen , a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , in the late seventies. He was trying to fit twenty distinct transfer RNA t RNA molecule s of the Escherichia coli E. Coli bacterium into a tree. One of the most important concepts of T theory is the tight span of a metric space. If X is a metric space, the tight span T X of X is, up to isomorphism, the unique minimal injective metric space that contains X . John Isbell was the first to discover the tight span in 1964, which he called the injective envelope . Dress independently constructed the same construct, which he called the tight span. Application areas Phylogenetic analysis, which is used to create phylogenetic tree s. Online algorithm s k server problem k server problem Recent developments Bernd Sturmfels , Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley Berkeley , and Josephine Yu classified six point metrics using T theory.
