Sinossi

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computability theory, the halting problem is a decision problem which can be stated as follows: given a description of a program, decide whether the program finishes running or will run forever. This is equivalent to the problem of deciding, given a program and an input, whether the program will eventually halt when run with that input, or will run forever. Alan Turing proved in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem for all possible program-input pairs cannot exist. We say that the halting problem is undecidable over Turing machines. B. Jack Copeland attributes the actual term halting problem to Martin Davis.
