TM halts (whether or not in a final state) with output tex2html_wrap_inline599 on the tape.

What if tex2html_wrap_inline601 is UNDEFINED?

Total Recursive Functions

f is defined for all inputs.
tex2html_wrap_inline605 has a TM M that computes f and halts on all inputs for f.

e.g. tex2html_wrap_inline613

Partial Recursive Functions

f may be undefined for some inputs.
tex2html_wrap_inline605 can be computed by a TM.

figure381

e.g. tex2html_wrap_inline619
