How can we reduce halting problem?
For a reduction to the halting problem, given an instance I of the post correspondence problem, we build a touring machine M, such that the instance is a yes-instance if and only if the machine halts by the empty input (The machine totally ignores the input band).Is the halting problem reducible?
Thus, the halting problem is indeed reducible to the acceptance problem. Proof: A decider of the halting problem can be used to build a decider for the acceptance problem (this is the reducibility shown in the previous theorem).Will the halting problem ever be solved?
The halting problem is undecidable, meaning that no general algorithm exists that solves the halting problem for all possible program–input pairs.- unsolvable algorithmic problem is the halting problem, which states that no program can be written that can predict whether or not any other program halts after a finite number of steps. The unsolvability of the halting problem has immediate practical bearing on software development.
