Hailstone Sequence

Prove whether the process is terminatable.

  • If n=1, stop
  • If n is even, set n = n/2
  • Otherwise, set n = 3n + 1
  • Repeat
Touring Machines
Universal Machines and Programs
There is a Turing machine Utm called the universal Turing machine that, when run on(M, w), where is a Turing machine and w is a string, simulates M running on w.
Example

You can:

  • Double the contents of the string after M
  • Replace III with U
  • Remove UU
  • Append U if the string ends in I
The language of the TM

L e RE iff L is recognizable.

  • RE is the set of all recognizable langauges.
