Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a language L = {x | x is a string of equal numbers of 0's and 1's}, design a TM with a stay-option for recognizing the language.

💡 Hint: How can you mark checked symbols and loop through the tape efficiently?

Challenge 2 Hard

Reflect on the historical implications of introducing the stay-option in Turing analysis. How would Turing's original model evaluate this addition?

💡 Hint: How do changes in operations reflect on the design principles of computation?
