A theoretical computer built in a mixed-up mathematical universe might not sound like the most practical invention. But the discovery shows that computation can turn up in the most unlikely places, ...

Therefore, in the deterministic case, the expressive power of analog neural nets turns out to be comparable to the expressive power of any kind of Büchi abstract machine, whereas in the ...

This week we’ll venture in the realm of theory for a change, starting with Turing machines. In case some of you don’t know what a Turing machine is, here is the Wikipedia definition: “A theoretical ...

Theory of Computation offers a rigorous mathematical framework that underpins our understanding of what can be computed and how efficiently these computations may be performed. It encompasses ...

<B>Why did you think of this?</B> To some extent, I'm masochistic. Recently I've been working on a paper that involves TMs and I wrote a small simulator to check my solutions. I'm bored; therefore, we ...

On June 23, we commemorate the birth of Alan Mathison Turing, a visionary whose profound contributions laid the very groundwork for modern computing and artificial intelligence. Often hailed as the ...

Alan Turing was one of the most influential British figures of the 20th century. In 1936, Turing invented the computer as part of his attempt to solve a fiendish puzzle known as the ...
