Hypercomputation

Hypercomputation

Hypercomputation or super-Turing computation refers to models of computation that can produce outputs that are not computable by a Turing machine. Super-Turing computing is a form of neurological-inspired, biological and physical realizable computing, while hypercomputation includes both mathematical and philosophical constructs. It explores the computation of functions that cannot be computed by a Turing machine, although most literature in this field focuses on deterministic, rather than random, uncomputable functions.
