Introduction to Turing Machines

چکیده
A Turing machine can be viewed as a simple kind of computer, whose operations are constrainted to reading and writing symbols on a tape, or moving along the tape to the left or right. In theory, one has proven that the computability of Turing machines is equivalent to recursive functions. This article defines and verifies the Turing machines of summation and three primitive functions which are successor, zero and project functions. It is difficult to compute sophisticated functions by simple Turing machines. Therefore, we define the combination of two Turing machines.

Some improvements in fuzzy turing machines
In this paper, we improve some previous definitions of fuzzy-type Turing machines to obtain degrees of accepting and rejecting in a computational manner. We apply a BFS-based search method and some level’s upper bounds to propose a computational process in calculating degrees of accepting and rejecting. Next, we introduce the class of Extended Fuzzy Turing Machines equipped with indeterminacy s...

متن کاملAre there intelligent Turing machines?
This paper introduces a new computing model based on the cooperation among Turing machines called orchestrated machines. Like universal Turing machines, orchestrated machines are also designed to simulate Turing machines but they can also modify the original operation of the included Turing machines to create a new layer of some kind of collective behavior. Using this new model we can define so...
متن کاملArithmetical quasi - inductive definitions and the transfinite action of 1 tape Turing machines
• We produce a classification of the pointclasses using infinite time turing machines with 1-tape. The reason for choosing this formalism is that it apparently yields a smoother classification of classes defined by algorithms that halt at limit ordinals. • We consider some relations of such classes with other similar notions, such as arithmetical quasi-inductive definitions. • It is noted that ...
متن کاملQuantum Turing Machines: Local Transition, Preparation, Measurement, and Halting
The Church-Turing thesis 2 states that to be computable is to be computable by a Turing machine and the modern discipline in computational complexity theory states that to be efficiently computable is to be computable by a Turing machine within polynomial steps in the length of the input data. However, Feynman pointed out that a Turing machine cannot simulate a quantum mechanical process effici...
