This clear exposition, motivated by numerous examples and illustrations, serves to develop a new paradigm for complex, high-performance computing based on both partial recursive functions and more inclusive recursive algorithms. Researchers and advanced students interested in theory of computation and algorithms will find the book an essential resource for an important new class of algorithms.
Burgin published extensively on this new theoretical topic. Based on UCLA lectures, articles, invited ACM Communications Survey article (11/01), and invited High Performance Computing Symposium presentation.
