Lecture
Halting Problem: Unsolvable Problems
Description
This lecture discusses the concept of unsolvable problems in algorithms, focusing on the halting problem introduced by Turing. It presents a theorem stating that the halting problem cannot be solved by any procedure, providing a proof sketch to support this claim. The lecture concludes by summarizing the limitations of algorithms in solving every problem.
