f1(1^n01^m) = 1^|m−n|
design a turing machine that computes the function (transition diagram)
how to keep track of the 0 in the middle? I have tried to do it but can not figure it out
I'll assume you want the tape alphabet to consist only of 0, 1 and - (blank). Our strategy here is a fruitful one when working with single-tape Turing machines: we will bounce back and forth around the 0 in the middle, crossing off 1s as we find them. We will continue until we run out of 1
s and reach a blank. At that point, all that remains on the tape is 1^|mn| as well as n+m+1-|mn| zeroes. Finally, we copy our result to the beginning of the tape (if that's not where it already is, ie, if m > n) and erase the zeroes.
Q s s' D Q'
// read past 1^n
q0 1 1 R q0
// read through zeroes
q0 0 0 R q1
q1 0 0 R q1
// mark out the first 1 remaining in 1^m
q1 1 0 L q2
// read through zeros backwards
q2 0 0 L q2
// mark out the last 1 remaining in 1^n
q2 1 0 R q1
// we were reading through zeroes forward
// and didn't find another 1. n >= m and
// we have deleted the same number from
// the first and last parts so just delete
// zeroes
q1 - - L q3
q3 0 - L q3
q3 1 1 L halt_accept
// we were reading through zeroes backwards
// and didn't find another 1. n < m and we
// accidentally deleted one too many symbols
// from the 1^m part. write it back and start
// copying the 1s from after the 0s back to
// the beginning of the tape. then, clear zeroes.
q2 - - R q4
q4 0 1 R q5
q5 0 0 R q5
q5 1 0 L q6
q6 0 0 L q6
q6 1 1 R q4
q5 - - L q7
q7 0 - L q7
q7 1 1 L halt_accept
Naturally, no TM example would be complete without an example of its execution.
