Question:Let be a Turing-recognizable language consisting of TM descriptions. Show that there is a decidable language C consisting of TM descriptions such that every machine described in B has an equivalent machine in C and vice versa.
A Turing machine with doubly infinite tape is similar to an ordinary Turing machine, but its tape is infinite to the left as well as to the right. The tape is initially filled with blanks except for the portion that contains the input. Computation is defined as usual except that the head never encounters an end to the tape as it moves leftward. Show that this type of Turing machine recognizes the class of Turing-recognizable languages.
Explain why the following is not a description of a legitimate Turing machine. 鈥淥n input (p), a polynomial over variables
1. Try all possible settings of to integer values.
2. Evaluate on all of these settings.
3. If any of these settings evaluates to 0, accept; otherwise, reject.鈥
Examine the formal definition of a Turing machine to answer the following questions, and explain your reasoning.
a. Can a Turing machine ever write the blank symbol on its tape?
b. Can the tape alphabetbe the same as the input alphabet?
c. Can a Turing machine鈥檚 head ever be in the same location in two successive steps?
d. Can a Turing machine contain just a single state?
Show that a language is decidable if some enumerator enumerates the language in the standard string order.
