Question
1. Consider the following language in the alphabet Σ = {a}.
L = {a²" |n a non-negative integer }
Here is a multi-step implementation level description of a Turing machine that decides this language.
Bob On input string w:
1. If the tape contains a single a, accept.
2. If the tape contains more than a single a and the number of a's is odd, reject.
3. Sweep left to right across the tape, crossing off every other a
4. Return the head to the left-hand end of the tape and goto step 1
Fill in the following table for Bob, when it is processing a string w of length n.
Stage #Max. number of steps to execute Max. number of times executed Order (like O(?))
