Real Hypercomputation and Continuity

By the sometimes so-called Main Theorem of Recursive Analysis, every computable real function is necessarily continuous. We wonder whether and which kinds of hypercomputation allow for the effective evaluation of also discontinuous . More precisely the present work considers the following three super-Turing notions of real function computability: - relativized computation; specifically given oracle access to the Halting Problem or its jump ; - encoding input and/or output y = f(x) in weaker ways also related to the Arithmetic Hierarchy; - nondeterministic computation. It turns out that any computable in the first or second sense is still necessarily continuous whereas the third type of hypercomputation provides the required power to evaluate for instance the discontinuous Heaviside function.
