Local Transition Functions of Quantum Turing Machines

Masanao Ozawa, Harumichi Nishimura (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Foundations of the notion of quantum Turing machines are investigated. According to Deutsch's formulation, the time evolution of a quantum Turing machine is to be determined by the local transition function. In this paper, the local transition functions are characterized for fully general quantum Turing machines, including multi-tape quantum Turing machines, extending the results due to Bernstein and Vazirani.

Logarithmic frequency in morphic sequences

Jason P. Bell (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We study the logarithmic frequency of letters and words in morphic sequences and show that this frequency must always exist, answering a question of Allouche and Shallit.

Logics for stable and unstable mereological relations

Vladislav Nenchev (2011)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we present logics about stable and unstable versions of several well-known relations from mereology: part-of, overlap and underlap. An intuitive semantics is given for the stable and unstable relations, describing them as dynamic counterparts of the base mereological relations. Stable relations are described as ones that always hold, while unstable relations hold sometimes. A set of first-order sentences is provided to serve as axioms for the stable and unstable relations, and representation...

Lower bounds for Las Vegas automata by information theory

Mika Hirvensalo, Sebastian Seibert (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We show that the size of a Las Vegas automaton and the size of a complete, minimal deterministic automaton accepting a regular language are polynomially related. More precisely, we show that if a regular language L is accepted by a Las Vegas automaton having r states such that the probability for a definite answer to occur is at least p , then r n p , where n is the number of the states of the minimal deterministic automaton accepting L . Earlier this result has been obtained in [2] by using a reduction...

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We show that the size of a Las Vegas automaton and the size of a complete, minimal deterministic automaton accepting a regular language are polynomially related. More precisely, we show that if a regular language L is accepted by a Las Vegas automaton having r states such that the probability for a definite answer to occur is at least p, then r ≥ np, where n is the number of the states of the minimal deterministic automaton accepting L. Earlier this result has been obtained in [2] by using a reduction...
