The case for hypercomputation
The weight of evidence supporting the case for hypercomputation is compelling. We examine some 20 physical and mathematical models of computation that are either known or suspecte...

How much can analog and hybrid systems be proved (super-)Turing
Church thesis and its variants say roughly that all reasonable models of computation do not have more power than Turing machines. In a contrapositive way, they say that any model ...

Some thoughts on hypercomputation
We first show that the Halting Function (the noncomputable function that solves the Halting Problem) has explicit expressions in the language of calculus. Out of that fact we elab...

Definability as hypercomputational effect
The classical simulation of physical processes using standard models of computation is fraught with problems. On the other hand, attempts at modelling real-world computation with ...

Church's thesis meets the N-body problem
``Church's thesis'' is at the foundation of computer science. We point out that with any particular set of physical laws, Church's thesis need not merely be po...

Analog computation beyond the Turing limit
The main purpose of this paper is quite uncontroversial. First, we recall some models of analog computations (including these allowed to perform Turing uncomputable tasks). Second...
