Understanding the Halting Problem and Uncomputable Programs

The Halting Problem in computer science presents a practical uncomputable problem where determining whether a program will halt or run forever is impossible. This concept is explored through a proof by contradiction and a tricky program called Diagonal.java. The program showcases the challenges of p

Undecidability in Rectangular Hybrid Automata Analysis

The undecidability of the reachability analysis in rectangular hybrid automata (RHA) poses challenges for verifying cyber-physical systems. This complexity was demonstrated through a reduction from the Halting problem of two counter machines by Henzinger et al. Additionally, the review of computabil

Understanding Church-Turing Thesis and Computability with Turing Machines

The Church-Turing Thesis states that every computable function can be computed by a Turing Machine. This concept, pioneered by Turing, revolutionized the way we understand computability and algorithms. By breaking down the process into primitive operations, we can express complex algorithms in an un
