A model of computation vs an abstract machine
Wikipedia says
A model of computation is a formal description of a particular type of computational process. The description often takes the form
of an abstract machine that is meant to perform …

Can we use domains other than the naturals in computability theory?
I wonder why people assume the domain of a computable function is $\mathbb N$? For example, in Wikipedia.
Can its domain be any countable set rather than $\mathbb N$?
Can its domain be an uncountabl …

How does an automaton model a computer or something else?
An automaton, as I have seen so far, is used to tell if a string belongs to the language that the automaton recognizes. This is determined by the final state of the automaton running on the string as …

Are partial recursive functions analogous to recursive languages or r.e. languages?
From Ullman and Hopcroft's Introduction to Automata Theory, Language, and Computation 1ed 1979:
The assumption that the intuitive notion of "computable function"

There are other models of computation equivalent to Turing machines in terms of computability.
Turing machines also recognize recursively enumerable languages.
My questions are
Do other models of …

Are nondeterministic algorithm and randomized algorithms algorithms on a deterministic Turin...
An algorithm on an abstract machine is a finite sequence of operations of the machine. (Correct me if I am not correct.)
However, there are
different kind of algorithms, such as deterministic, non-de …
