Computable Languages

Recursively Enumerable (r.e):
A language L is r.e. if L = L(M) of a Turing Machine.
Membership Determination
  1. Regular sets - DFA / / O(n) time.
  2. Context-free languages - CYK algorithm, tex2html_wrap_inline565 time.
  3. R.E. languages - TM does not exist for all r.e. sets.

Recursive Sets:
L is recursive if L = L(M) of TM M and M halts on all inputs.
