Discovering Nontrivial and Functional Behavior in Register Machines
نویسنده
چکیده
Nontrivial and functional behavior in register machines is examined. Register machines are simple implementations of modern information and communications technology and provide a computationally simple vehicle for investigating examples of nontrivial and functional behavior. They also provide opportunities for optimizing information and communication technologies to use fewer resources or perform functions more quickly. A simple two-register, four-instruction register machine was analyzed using soft and hard analytical techniques. Examples of nontrivial and functional behavior were identified by observing two-register, fourinstruction register machines with various initial conditions. These register machines were identified by an exhaustive search of all possible register machine configurations meeting a particular definition. A subsequent investigation into the randomness in register machine components involved a frequency analysis, comparing program counter and register values against the discrete uniform distribution. It is possible to observe examples of cyclical and conditional behavior, register-dependent and register-independent behavior, randomness in the register machine’s program counter and registers, and foundation arithmetic functions. Further analysis of this register machine configuration yields opportunities for synthesizing multiple functions into a single register machine and optimizing functional register machines by brute-force testing all possible register machines.

An Enhanced Theory of Infinite Time Register Machines
Infinite time register machines (ITRMs) are register machines which act on natural numbers and which are allowed to run for arbitrarily many ordinal steps. Successor steps are determined by standard register machine commands. At limit times a register content is defined as a lim inf of previous register contents, if that limit is finite; otherwise the register is reset to 0. (A previous weaker ...
متن کاملUnary Languages Recognized by Two-Way One-Counter Automata
A two-way deterministic finite state automaton with one counter (2D1CA) is a fundamental computational model that has been examined in many different aspects since sixties, but we know little about its power in the case of unary languages. Up to our knowledge, the only known unary nonregular languages recognized by 2D1CAs are those formed by strings having exponential length, where the exponent...

Discovering Popular Clicks\' Pattern of Teen Users for Query Recommendation
Search engines are still the most important gates for information search in internet. In this regard, providing the best response in the shortest time possible to the user's request is still desired. Normally, search engines are designed for adults and few policies have been employed considering teen users. Teen users are more biased in clicking the results list than are adult users. This leads...
متن کاملRecursion on Abstract Structures
We develop and compare two models for computability over an abstract structure. The first, characterized in term of generalized register machines, provides a good theory for a large class of first-order structures. The second, defined in terms of minimal solutions for functional equations, is more versatile and handles many common second-order examples.
