Simulation of the Collatz 3x+1 function by Turing machines
Published 25 Sep 2014 in math.LO | (1409.7322v1)
Abstract: We give new Turing machines that simulate the iteration of the Collatz 3x+1 function. First, a never halting Turing machine with 3 states and 4 symbols, improving the known 3x5 and 4x4 Turing machines. Second, Turing machines that halt on the final loop, in the classes 3x10, 4x6, 5x4, and 13x2.
