Examples
In general, there is a compromise to be made between the precision of the analysis and its decidability ( computability ), or tractability ( complexity ).
Although much more efficient methods of primality testing are known, the existence of any effective method is enough to establish decidability.
Popular modern logical frameworks such as the calculus of constructions and LF are based on higher-order dependent type theory, with various trade-offs in terms of decidability and expressive power.
Usually, decidability is proved by showing an algorithm that solves the problem (i.e. a constructive proof ).
Within this framework the algorithms and architectures are also analyzed in terms of decidability, time/space complexity, data structures they require and communication protocols.
