Turing machines and bimachines
We associate the iterated block product of a bimachine with a deterministic Turing machine. This allows us to introduce new algebraic notions to study the behavior of the Turing m...

Busy Beaver - The Influence of Representation
The Busy Beaver is an interesting theoretical problem proposed by Rado in 1962. In this paper we propose an evolutionary approach to this problem. We will focus on the representati...

On the Power of Positive Turing Reductions
: In the early 1980s, Selman's seminal work on positive Turing reductions showed that positive Turing reduction to NP yields no greater computational power than NP itself. Thu...

On Exponential-Time Completeness of the Circularity Problem for Attribute Grammars
Attribute grammars (AGs) are a formal technique for defining semantics of programming languages. Existing complexity proofs on the circularity problem of AGs are based on automata...

Ordinal Computability
computability uses ordinals instead of natural numbers in abstract machines like register or Turing machines. We give an overview of the computational strengths of α-β-machines,...
