- I'm not really good at proof techniques, so would someone send me examples
- of showing a language is recursive or r.e. (recursively enumerable) with
- the Recursion theorem, with Rice's theorem, and with a diagonalization
- argument? These were used in a theory of computation course of mine about
- 4 years ago, so I'm looking for something easy to read.
-
- I'm really not looking for proofs, but what I'm looking for is a good
- explanation of these. I have 3 or 4 books on the subject, but I would like
- an intuitive explanation of doing this.
-
- Thank you,
