    The score function Σ(n) gives the maximum number of 1s an -state Turing machine can output before halting, while the shifts function S(n) gives the maximum number of shifts (or equivalently steps, because each step includes a shift) that an -state Turing machine can undergo before halting. [4]

  3. Stepped reckoner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped_reckoner

    There is also a tens-carry indicator and a control to set the machine to zero. The machine can: add or subtract an 8-digit number to/from a 16-digit number, multiply two 8-digit numbers to get a 16-digit result, divide a 16-digit number by an 8-digit divisor. Addition or subtraction is performed in a single step, with a turn of the crank.

  4. Counter machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_machine

    The counter machine models go by a number of different names that may help to distinguish them by their peculiarities. In the following the instruction "JZDEC ( r )" is a compound instruction that tests to see if a register r is empty; if so then jump to instruction I z, else if not then DECrement the contents of r:

  5. Activation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_function

    The binary step activation function is not differentiable at 0, and it differentiates to 0 for all other values, so gradient-based methods can make no progress with it. [ 7 ] These properties do not decisively influence performance, nor are they the only mathematical properties that may be useful.

  6. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    The machine will perform the following three steps on any odd number until only one 1 remains: Append 1 to the (right) end of the number in binary (giving 2n + 1); Add this to the original number by binary addition (giving 2n + 1 + n = 3n + 1); Remove all trailing 0 s (that is, repeatedly divide by 2 until the result is odd).

  7. Leibniz wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_wheel

    In the position shown, the counting wheel meshes with three of the nine teeth of the Leibniz wheel. A Leibniz wheel or stepped drum is a cylinder with a set of teeth of incremental lengths which, when coupled to a counting wheel, can be used in the calculating engine of a class of mechanical calculators.

    (2) It has only one tape so that one has to go to some trouble to find the number one wishes to work on and keep it separate from other numbers" [7]: 218 Indeed, as examples in Turing machine examples, Post–Turing machine and partial functions show, the work can be "complicated".

  9. Turing machine equivalents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine_equivalents

    Turing machines with input-and-output also have the same time complexity as other Turing machines; in the words of Papadimitriou 1994 Prop 2.2: For any k -string Turing machine M operating within time bound ⁠ f ( n ) {\displaystyle f(n)} ⁠ there is a ⁠ ( k + 2 ) {\displaystyle (k+2)} ⁠ -string Turing machine M' with input and output ...
