Computable isomorphism

From HandWiki

In computability theory two sets A;B of natural numbers are computably isomorphic or recursively isomorphic if there exists a total bijective computable function f: with f(A)=B. By the Myhill isomorphism theorem,[1] the relation of computable isomorphism coincides with the relation of one-one reduction. Two numberings ν and μ are called computably isomorphic if there exists a computable bijection f so that ν=μf

Computably isomorphic numberings induce the same notion of computability on a set.
