Extensions and Restrictions of Turing Machines
Extensions: (see this link too) Many extensions of Turing machines are no more powerful than the originals This is evidence that Turing machines are a universal model of computation Extensions: (see this link too) Multiple tapes Multiple read write heads Random access Nondeterminism Two or more dimensions
Restricted versions of Turing Machines Infinite versus semi-infinite tape Restricted versions of Turing Machines Only move to the right Only one state Never change a tape symbol All these restrictions make Turing machines weaker
