  2. Krohn–Rhodes theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krohn–Rhodes_theory

    Let T be a semigroup. A semigroup S that is a homomorphic image of a subsemigroup of T is said to be a divisor of T.. The Krohn–Rhodes theorem for finite semigroups states that every finite semigroup S is a divisor of a finite alternating wreath product of finite simple groups, each a divisor of S, and finite aperiodic semigroups (which contain no nontrivial subgroups).

  3. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A compound machine is a machine formed from a set of simple machines connected in series with the output force of one providing the input force to the next. For example, a bench vise consists of a lever (the vise's handle) in series with a screw, and a simple gear train consists of a number of gears ( wheels and axles ) connected in series.

  4. Machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine

    A number of machine elements provide important structural functions such as the frame, bearings, splines, spring and seals. The recognition that the frame of a mechanism is an important machine element changed the name three-bar linkage into four-bar linkage. Frames are generally assembled from truss or beam elements.

  5. Functional programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming

    The distinction between the two is subtle: "higher-order" describes a mathematical concept of functions that operate on other functions, while "first-class" is a computer science term for programming language entities that have no restriction on their use (thus first-class functions can appear anywhere in the program that other first-class ...

  6. Abstract machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_machine

    Abstract machines are "machines" because they allow step-by-step execution of programs; they are "abstract" because they ignore many aspects of actual machines. [3] A typical abstract machine consists of a definition in terms of input, output, and the set of allowable operations used to turn the former into the latter.

  7. Computer for operations with functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_for_operations...

    A computing machine for operations with functions was presented and developed by Mikhail Kartsev in 1967. [1] Among the operations of this computing machine were the functions addition, subtraction and multiplication, functions comparison, the same operations between a function and a number, finding the function maximum, computing indefinite integral, computing definite integral of derivative ...

  8. Automata theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata_theory

    The output function may be extended similarly into ¯ (,), which gives the complete output of the machine when run on word from state . Acceptor In order to study an automaton with the theory of formal languages , an automaton may be considered as an acceptor , replacing the output alphabet and function Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } and λ ...

    In addition to the function Σ, Radó [1962] introduced another extreme function for Turing machines, the maximum shifts function, S, defined as follows: [4] s(M) = the number of shifts M makes before halting, for any M ∈ E n, S(n) = max{s(M) | M ∈ E n} = the largest number of shifts made by any halting n-state 2-symbol Turing machine.
