Introduction to computability

  • Algorithmically computable functions, numbering, the s-m-n theorem.
  • Basic properties of computable and computably enumerable sets.
  • Recursion theorems and their applications.
  • Productive and creative sets and their properties.
  • Effectively inseparable sets, Gödel incompletness theorems.

Relative computability

  • Relative computability, Turing functionals, T-reducibility.
  • Degrees of undecidability, jump operation, relativized halting problem.
  • Limit computability.
  • Arithmetical hierarchy, basic properties. Hierarchy theorem.
  • Applications of computability theory.
