Computability theory, also known as recursive function theory, is a branch of mathematical logic and computer science that deals with the question of what it means for a function to be computable. It explores the limits of what can be algorithmically solved and examines the characteristics of functions, problems, or decision-making processes that can be effectively computed by mechanical means, such as algorithms or theoretical models like Turing machines.
