摘要
Through a straightforward Bayesian approach we show that under some general conditions, a maximum running time, namely the number of discrete steps performed by a computer program during its execution, can be defined such that the probability that such a program will halt after that time is smaller than any arbitrary fixed value. Consistency with known results and consequences are also discussed. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
