Sentences with phrase «turing thesis»

Turing provided an influential formalisation of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, formulating the now widely accepted «Turing» version of the Church - Turing thesis, namely that any practical computing model has either the equivalent or a subset of the capabilities of a Turing machine.

But these authors state the Turing thesis as if an established scientific fact, which we are dummies not to accept.

The result is again to understate rather than illustrate the force of the Turing thesis.

This confidence takes a technical name and is called Church's thesis or the Church - Turing thesis.

Not exact matches

A model that is well defined by effective procedures may be translated by the authority of Church's thesis into a Turing machine that captures the structure of the model.

Church's thesis entails that any algorithm (well defined procedure that eventually terminates) may be translated without loss of information into a Turing machine.

This is a tall story to say the least; and the rapid telling of this crucial episode makes too light of the content of Turing's thesis.
