Construct a Turing Machine that computes the expression 2x+y, where x, y ≥ 0, and are represented on the tape as a sequence of 1s separated by a 0. For e. g., Say, x = 3, y = 5 are represented on the screen as ⊢111011111; At the end of the computation, the tape contents should be ⊢11111111111 representing the number 2x+y = 2(3)+5 = 11.
Given an input of the form <n> write a Turing machine that adds an= symbol at the end of the input and then copies the number to output a simple equation of the form <n>= <n> Example: Input: 111 Output: 111 = 111
What does the following Turing machine do? (The triangle symbol denotes the empty cell on the tape) Hint: try some simple input and find what the TM does to the tape. 8 (1, a) = (1, b, R) 8 (1,6) = (1, a, R) 8(1, A) = (F, A, L)
Construct a Turing machine that transforms an initial tape of the form 0m10n(m and n 0’s with m, n > 0 separated by a 1) into 0m1_0n(m and n 0’s with m, n > 0 separated by a 1 followed by a blank). The tape head should be at the 1 before and after the computation. Run your machine on the input 00100.
A palindrome is a string of characters thatreads the same forward and backward, suchas radar or IUPUI. Write a Turing machine to decide whether any binary string is apalindrome by halting with a blank tape ifthe string is a palindrome and halting with anonblank tape if the string is not a palindrome.Note: The world’s longest single-wordpalindrome is the Finnish word for “lyedealer”: Saippuakivikauppias Other palindromes include: Slap a ham on Omaha pals Do geese see godA man a plan a canal Panama
Build a Turing machine that lists on its tape, all binary integers in numerical order separated by blanks "&" and that starts with (q1,)
Construct a Turing machine that prints the strings on {0, 1}* in the lexicographic order. Hint: The tape's initial contents: L0 The output is: LOL 1 L 00 L 01...
Design a Turing machine with input alphabet Σ = {0, 1} that accepts the language L = {0¹1²i | i ≥ 0}.
Construct a Turing Machine with vocabularyi-(0,1). that erases any data given as input. Hence this Turing machine is to be designed such that, when an arbitrary sequence of Os and 1s is given as input to the machine, It replaces all symbols with symbol B (which represents "Blank) and then halts. For example, if there is initially". B110100B ." on the tape, then the final content of the tape must be ". BBBBBBBB . Make sure that your machine works with any sequence of 0s and 1s with arbitrary finite length. Assume that there is initially no blank (B) symbol in between the leftmost and rightmost non-blank positions on the tape. O (so 0. 51. B. R). (5o 1. 5. B. R). (51. 0. S1. B. R). (5. 1, st.

Construct a Turing machine that accepts the language of strings of the form an, where nis a composite number. A composite number is any integer n that can be written as a product n = p ·q,where p and q are integers with 1 < p, q < n. Specifically for the purpose of this question, 0 and 1 are notconsidered composite numbers.Your machine can be non-deterministic, and it can use multiple tapes (as many as you need). I suggestbreaking up the construction into smaller sub-tasks. In particular, the machine you built in Question 3might be useful.For this question, it is enough to give a detailed description of the algorithm of your machine. You donot need to draw a full transition diagram. Although you can draw diagrams for smaller parts if it helpsyou illustrate your construction.
3. A Write-Twice Turing machine T is similar to a standard Turing machine except that T can alter the contents of each tape cell only twice (including the input portion of the tape). Show that T is Turing-complete.
