In the 1960s Gisbert Hasenjaeger built Turing Machines from electromechanical relays and uniselectors. Recently, Glaschick reverse engineered the program of one of these machines and found that it is a universal Turing machine. In fact, its program uses only four states and two symbols, making it a very small universal Turing machine. (The machine has three tapes and a number of other features that are important to keep in mind when comparing it to other small universal machines.) Hasenjaeger’s machine simulates Hao Wang’s B machines, which were proved universal by Wang. Unfortunately, Wang’s original simulation algorithm suffers from an exponential slowdown when simulating Turing machines. Hence, via this simulation, Hasenjaeger’s machine also has an exponential slowdown when simulating Turing machines. In this work, we give a new efficient simulation algorithm for Wang’s B machines by showing that they simulate Turing machines with only a polynomial slowdown. As a second result, we find that Hasenjaeger’s machine also efficiently simulates Turing machines in polynomial time. Thus, Hasenjaeger’s machine is both small and fast. In another application of our result, we show that Hooper’s small universal Turing machine simulates Turing machines in polynomial time, an exponential improvement.  相似文献

Infinite time Turing machines with only one tape are in many respects fully as powerful as their multi‐tape cousins. In particular, the two models of machine give rise to the same class of decidable sets, the same degree structure and, at least for partial functions f : ℝ → ℕ, the same class of computable functions. Nevertheless, there are infinite time computable functions f : ℝ → ℝ that are not one‐tape computable, and so the two models of infinitary computation are not equivalent. Surprisingly, the class of one‐tape computable functions is not closed under composition; but closing it under composition yields the full class of all infinite time computable functions. Finally, every ordinal that is clockable by an infinite time Turing machine is clockable by a one‐tape machine, except certain isolated ordinals that end gaps in the clockable ordinals.  相似文献

Computational bounds on polynomial differential equations   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In this paper we study from a computational perspective some properties of the solutions of polynomial ordinary differential equations.We consider elementary (in the sense of Analysis) discrete-time dynamical systems satisfying certain criteria of robustness. We show that those systems can be simulated with elementary and robust continuous-time dynamical systems which can be expanded into fully polynomial ordinary differential equations in Q[π]. This sets a computational lower bound on polynomial ODEs since the former class is large enough to include the dynamics of arbitrary Turing machines.We also apply the previous methods to show that the problem of determining whether the maximal interval of definition of an initial-value problem defined with polynomial ODEs is bounded or not is in general undecidable, even if the parameters of the system are computable and comparable and if the degree of the corresponding polynomial is at most 56.Combined with earlier results on the computability of solutions of polynomial ODEs, one can conclude that there is from a computational point of view a close connection between these systems and Turing machines.  相似文献

We investigate two constants c T and r T , introduced by Chaitin and Raatikainen respectively, defined for each recursively axiomatizable consistent theory T and universal Turing machine used to determine Kolmogorov complexity. Raatikainen argued that c T does not represent the complexity of T and found that for two theories S and T , one can always find a universal Turing machine such that $c_\mathbf {S}= c_\mathbf {T}$. We prove the following are equivalent: $c_\mathbf {S}\ne c_\mathbf {T}$ for some universal Turing machine, $r_\mathbf {S}\ne r_\mathbf {T}$ for some universal Turing machine, and T proves some Π1‐sentence which S cannnot prove. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

During the last decades, a large amount of multi-valued transition systems, whose transitions or states are labeled with specific weights, have been proposed to analyze quantitative behaviors of reactive systems. To set up a unified framework to model and analyze systems with quantitative information, in this paper, we present an extension of doubly labeled transition systems in the framework of residuated lattices, which we will refer to as lattice-valued doubly labeled transition systems (LDLTSs). Our model can be specialized to fuzzy automata over complete residuated lattices, fuzzy transition systems, and multi-valued Kripke structures. In contrast to the traditional yes/no approach to similarity, we then introduce lattice-valued similarity between LDLTSs to measure the degree of closeness of two systems, which is a value from a residuated lattice. Further, we explore the properties of robustness and compositionality of the lattice-valued similarity. Finally, we extend the Hennessy–Milner logic to the residuate lattice-valued setting and show that the obtained logic is adequate and expressive with lattice-valued similarity.  相似文献

Insertion of lattice-valued functions in a monotone manner is investigated. For L a ⊲-separable completely distributive lattice (i.e. L admits a countable base which is free of supercompact elements), a monotone version of the Katětov-Tong insertion theorem for L-valued functions is established. We also provide a monotone lattice-valued version of Urysohn’s lemma. Both results yield new characterizations of monotonically normal spaces. Moreover, extension of lattice-valued functions under additional assumptions is shown to characterize also monotone normality.

Aδ-uniform BSS machine is a standard BSS machine which does not rely on exact equality tests. We prove that, for any real closed archimedean fieldR, a set isδ-uniformly semi-decidable iff it is open and semi-decidable by a BSS machine which is locally time bounded; we also prove that the local time bound condition is nontrivial. This entails a number of results about BSS machines, in particular the existence of decidable sets whose interior (closure) is not even semi-decidable without adding constants. Finally, we show that the sets semi-decidable by Turing machines are the sets semi-decidable byδ-uniform machines with coefficients inQorT, the field of Turing computable numbers.  相似文献

A parameterized computational problem is a set of pairs (x, k), where k is a distinguished item called “parameter”. FPT is the class of fixed-parameter tractable problems: for any fixed value of k, they are solvable in time bounded by a polynomial of degree α, where α is a constant not dependent on the parameter. In order to deal with parameterized intractability, Downey and Fellows have introduced a hierarchy of classes W[l] ? W[2] ? ? containing likely intractable parameterized problems, and they have shown that such classes have many natural, complete languages. In this paper we analyze several variations of the halting problem for nondeterministic Turing machines with parameterized time, and we show that its parameterized complexity strongly depends on some resources like the number of tapes, head and internal states, and on the size of the alphabet. Notice that classical polynomial-time complexity fails in distinguishing such features. As byproducts, we show that parameterized complexity is a useful tool for the study of the intrinsic power of some computational models, and we underline the different “computational powers” of some levels of the parameterized hierarchy.  相似文献

Any lattice-ordered group (l-group for short) is essentially extended by its lexicographic product with a totally ordered group. That is, anl-homomorphism (i.e., a group and lattice homomorphism) on the extension which is injective on thel-group must be injective on the extension as well. Thus nol-group has a maximal essential extension in the categoryIGp ofl-groups withl-homomorphisms. However, anl-group is a distributive lattice, and so has a maximal essential extension in the categoryD of distributive lattices with lattice homomorphisms. Adistinguished extension of onel-group by another is one which is essential inD. We characterize such extensions, and show that everyl-groupG has a maximal distinguished extensionE(G) which is unique up to anl-isomorphism overG.E(G) contains most other known completions in whichG is order dense, and has mostl-group completeness properties as a result. Finally, we show that ifG is projectable then E(G) is the -completion of the projectable hull ofG.Presented by M. Henriksen.  相似文献

In this paper, we study lattices that posess both the properties of being extremal (in the sense of Markowsky) and of being left modular (in the sense of Blass and Sagan). We call such lattices trim and show that they posess some additional appealing properties, analogous to those of a distributive lattice. For example, trimness is preserved under taking intervals and suitable sublattices. Trim lattices satisfy a weakened form of modularity. The order complex of a trim lattice is contractible or homotopic to a sphere; the latter holds exactly if the maximum element of the lattice is a join of atoms. Any distributive lattice is trim, but trim lattices need not be graded. The main example of ungraded trim lattices are the Tamari lattices and generalizations of them. We show that the Cambrian lattices in types A and B defined by Reading are trim; we conjecture that all Cambrian lattices are trim.  相似文献

A computer is classically formalised as a universal Turing machine or a similar device. However over the years a lot of research has focused on the computational properties of dynamical systems other than Turing machines, such cellular automata, artificial neural networks, mirrors systems, etc.In this paper we propose a unifying formalism derived from a generalisation of Turing’s arguments. Then we review some of universal systems proposed in the literature and show that are particular case of this formalism. Finally, we review some of the attempts to understand the relation between dynamical and computational properties of a system.  相似文献

Turing machines define polynomial time (PTime) on strings but cannot deal with structures like graphs directly, and there is no known, easily computable string encoding of isomorphism classes of structures. Is there a computation model whose machines do not distinguish between isomorphic structures and compute exactly PTime properties? This question can be recast as follows: Does there exist a logic that captures polynomial time (without presuming the presence of a linear order)? Earlier, one of us conjectured a negative answer. The problem motivated a quest for stronger and stronger PTime logics. All these logics avoid arbitrary choice. Here we attempt to capture the choiceless fragment of PTime. Our computation model is a version of abstract state machines (formerly called evolving algebras). The idea is to replace arbitrary choice with parallel execution. The resulting logic expresses all properties expressible in any other PTime logic in the literature. A more difficult theorem shows that the logic does not capture all of PTime.  相似文献

We provide a positive solution for Post’s Problem for ordinal register machines, and also prove that these machines and ordinal Turing machines compute precisely the same partial functions on ordinals. To do so, we construct ordinal register machine programs which compute the necessary functions. In addition, we show that any set of ordinals solving Post’s Problem must be unbounded in the writable ordinals.  相似文献

Problem 5.1 in (L. Blum, M. Shub, and S. Smale, 1989, Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 21(1), 1–46) asks if there is a decision problem that cannot be solved in polynomial time by a Turing machine, but can be solved in polynomial time on a unit-cost algebraic RAM with operations {+,-,*,/,<}, and without the integer division operation. We present a problem that is not known to be solvable in polynomial time on a Turing machine, but can be solved in polynomial time on a unit-cost algebraic RAM. This is strong evidence for an affirmative answer to Problem 5.1.  相似文献

Let L be a completely distributive lattice with order reversing involution, and (X, τ) an L-fuzzy topological space. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the fundamental concept of fuzzy algebraic topology-the singular homology groups of the L-fuzzy topological space, in such a way that they take the (usual) cubical singular homology groups of a topological space as a special case. Also, we shall prove that they are L-fuzzy homeomorphic invariants.  相似文献

By thequery-time complexity of a relativized algorithm we mean the total length of oracle queries made; thequery-space complexity is the maximum length of the queries made. With respect to these cost measures one can define polynomially time- or space-bounded deterministic, nondeterministic, alternating, etc. Turing machines and the corresponding complexity classes. It turns out that all known relativized separation results operate essentially with this cost measure. Therefore, if certain classes do not separate in the query complexity model, this can be taken as an indication that their relativized separation in the classical cost model will require entirely new principles.A notable unresolved question in relativized complexity theory is the separation of NPA co NPA fromP A under random oraclesA. We conjecture that the analogues of these classes actually coincide in the query complexity model, thus indicating an answer to the question in the title. As a first step in the direction of establishing the conjecture, we prove the following result, where polynomial bounds refer to query complexity.If two polynomially query-time-bounded nondeterministic oracle Turing machines accept precisely complementary (oracle dependent) languages LA and {0, 1}*LA under every oracle A then there exists a deterministic polynomially query-time-bounded oracle Turing machine that accept LA. The proof involves a sort of greedy strategy to selecting deterministically, from the large set of prospective queries of the two nondeterministic machines, a small subset that suffices to perform an accepting computation in one of the nondeterministic machines. We describe additional algorithmic strategies that may resolve the same problem when the condition holds for a (1–) fraction of the oracles A, a step that would bring us to a non-uniform version of the conjecture. Thereby we reduce the question to a combinatorial problem on certain pairs of sets of partial functions on finite sets.  相似文献

In this paper, for a frame L, we characterize modified sobriety in stratified L-topological spaces and strong L-topological spaces internally using certain classes of stratified L-filters. While the first characterization using completely prime L-filters is trivial and applies to all stratified L-topological spaces, the other one using irreducible L-filters generalizes an approach of R.E. Ho?mann to the lattice-valued case but is restricted to either the case that the lattice is a complete Boolean algebra or to the case of completely distributive lattices and strong L-topological spaces.  相似文献
