20 mar 2012 · A language is Turing-recognizable if there exists a Turing machine which halts in an accepting state iff its input is in the language
A reduction is a way of converting one problem into another problem such that a solution to the second problem can be used to solve the first problem

A reduction is a way of converting one problem into another problem in such a way that a solution to the second problem can be used to solve the first problem
Proof: We will reduce this problem to the halting problem Suppose we have a TM E to solve the state-entry problem TM E takes as input the coding of a TM
The Halting problem HALTTM = {Mw M is a DTM and M halts on w} The reduction machine outputs a DTM that loops whenever M reaches the rejecting state

Mapping Reductions ? A tool for finding unsolvable problems The halting problem is the following problem: Given a TM M and string w
We can do it through a reduction: we demonstrate that if there is a Turing machine MA/R that decides LA/R then there is a Turing machine Mhalt that decides
