Show that the function K(x) is not a computable function.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The given statement is proved.

Step by step solution

01

Turing Recognizable

A language L is said to be Turing Recognizable if and only if there exist any Turing Machine (TM) which recognize it i.e., Turing Machine halt and accept strings belong to language L and will reject or not halt on the input strings that doesn’t belong to language L.

02

Proof of the statement.

Let as assume ya be the lexicographical 1st string s which satisfy n < K(y)

Let us assume to have Turing Machine M in which if the input is ‘n’, then we are able to generate binary strings x0, x1, x2.....

So, M will work as follows:

  • M compute K(xi)
  • If K(x) > n
  • Output: xi

Halt

  • If Not Halt

Then check other lexicographical string xi+1

So, TM M will encounter a string x which will satisfy K(x) > n

For input n, the output generated is ya whereas the input string length would be: log2(n). For all n K(x)>n, length would be n < log2(n) + c

But this is not true for sufficiently large value of n. This is contradicting as M will never compute K(xi), which clearly states that K(xi) is not computable function.
