- Thanks to the people who pointed out the easy example.
- But are there more general ways of finding partials that do not
- extend to total recursive functions?
-
- More generally, for subsets A and B of the naturals, with
- A containing B, what is known about extending partial recursive
- functions defined on A to ones defined on B? And what if the
- extension is required to take values in the image of the original
- p.r. function?
