partial recursive
Mathematics and Logic
adjective
Designating a function defined by a recursive process which for some or all values of the arguments does not terminate, so that the value of the function is undefined.
- The failure of the recursive process to terminate might be due to a value of the argument for which the function is specified not appearing in the sequence of steps, working back from the one in which the argument appears..
