==Examples== * Every [[computable set]] is computably enumerable, but it is not true that every computably enumerable set is computable. For computable sets, the algorithm must also say if an input is ''not'' in the set – this is not required of computably enumerable sets. * A [[recursively enumerable language]] is a computably enumerable subset of a [[formal language]]. * The set of all provable sentences in an effectively presented axiomatic system is a computably enumerable set. * [[Matiyasevich's theorem]] states that every computably enumerable set is a [[Diophantine set]] (the converse is trivially true). * The [[simple set]]s are computably enumerable but not computable. * The [[creative set]]s are computably enumerable but not computable. * Any [[productive set]] is '''not''' computably enumerable. * Given a [[Gödel numbering]] <math>\phi</math> of the computable functions, the set <math>\{\langle i,x \rangle \mid \phi_i(x) \downarrow \}</math> (where <math>\langle i,x \rangle</math> is the [[Cantor pairing function]] and <math>\phi_i(x)\downarrow</math> indicates <math>\phi_i(x)</math> is defined) is computably enumerable (cf. picture for a fixed ''x''). This set encodes the [[halting problem]] as it describes the input parameters for which each [[Turing machine]] halts. * Given a Gödel numbering <math>\phi</math> of the computable functions, the set <math>\{ \left \langle x, y, z \right \rangle \mid \phi_x(y) = z \}</math> is computably enumerable. This set encodes the problem of deciding a function value. * Given a partial function ''f'' from the natural numbers into the natural numbers, ''f'' is a partial computable function if and only if the graph of ''f'', that is, the set of all pairs <math>\langle x,f(x)\rangle</math> such that ''f''(''x'') is defined, is computably enumerable.
