A Cellular Automaton for Blocking Queen Games

Matthew Cook, Urban Larsson, Turlough Neary

We show that the winning positions of a certain type of two-player game form interesting patterns which often defy analysis, yet can be computed by a cellular automaton. The game,…

Undecidability in binary tag systems and the Post correspondence problem for four pairs of words

Turlough Neary

Since Cocke and Minsky proved 2-tag systems universal, they have been extensively used to prove the universality of numerous computational models. Unfortunately, all known algorith…

Wang's B machines are efficiently universal, as is Hasenjaeger's small universal electromechanical toy

Turlough Neary, Damien Woods, Niall Murphy +1

In the 1960's Gisbert Hasenjaeger built Turing Machines from electromechanical relays and uniselectors. Recently, Glaschick reverse engineered the program of one of these machines…

The complexity of small universal Turing machines: a survey

Turlough Neary, Damien Woods

We survey some work concerned with small universal Turing machines, cellular automata, tag systems, and other simple models of computation. For example it has been an open question…

On the computational complexity of spiking neural P systems

Turlough Neary

It is shown that there is no standard spiking neural P system that simulates Turing machines with less than exponential time and space overheads. The spiking neural P systems consi…
