This document provides a comparative study of two-way finite automata and Turing machines. Some key points:
- Two-way finite automata are similar to read-only Turing machines in that they have a finite tape that can be read in both directions, but cannot write to the tape.
- Turing machines have an infinite tape that can be read from and written to, allowing them to recognize recursively enumerable languages.
- Both models are examined in their ability to accept the regular language L={anbm|m,n>0}. The two-way finite automata uses two states and transitions between them, while the Turing machine uses four states and transitions between tape symbols.
Short Notes on Automata Theory
Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and automata, as well as the computational problems that can be solved using them. It is a theory in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics (a subject of study in both mathematics and computer science). The word automata (the plural of automaton) comes from the Greek word αὐτόματα, which means "self-making".

Turing Machine (TM) is a mathematical model which consists of an infinite length tape divided into cells on which input is given. It consists of a head which reads the input tape. A state register stores the state of the Turing machine. After reading an input symbol, it is replaced with another symbol, its internal state is changed, and it moves from one cell to the right or left. If the TM reaches the final state, the input string is accepted, otherwise rejected.

Electrically small antennas: The art of miniaturizationEditor IJARCET
We are living in the technological era, were we preferred to have the portable devices rather than unmovable devices. We are isolating our self rom the wires and we are becoming the habitual of wireless world what makes the device portable? I guess physical dimensions (mechanical) of that particular device, but along with this the electrical dimension is of the device is also of great importance. Reducing the physical dimension of the antenna would result in the small antenna but not electrically small antenna. We have different definition for the electrically small antenna but the one which is most appropriate is, where k is the wave number and is equal to and a is the radius of the imaginary sphere circumscribing the maximum dimension of the antenna. As the present day electronic devices progress to diminish in size, technocrats have become increasingly concentrated on electrically small antenna (ESA) designs to reduce the size of the antenna in the overall electronics system. Researchers in many fields, including RF and Microwave, biomedical technology and national intelligence, can benefit from electrically small antennas as long as the performance of the designed ESA meets the system requirement.

Comparative Study of Two-way Finite Automata
and Turing machine

Abstract— Two-way finite Automata are termed as read only
Turing machine. Two way finite automata is one of variant of
Turing machine, which is blessed with an infinite tape, and could
be used by tape head to read or write into its cell. Though Two
way finite automata has it reservation as it is only read only with
finite tape but many times unlimited storage is not required. This
paper do comparative study to find out how Two way finite
automata and Turing machine are different and whether any of
the two have advantage over other or not.
Keywords—Turing machine, Two-way Finite Automata,
Chomsky
I. INTRODUCTION
Turing machines, first described by Alan Turing (Turing
1937), as a simple abstract computational devices1
intended
to help investigate the extent and limitations of what can be
computed. Turing proposed a class of devices that came to
be known as Turing machines. In Alan Turing’s 1936 paper
on Computable Number with an application to the
EntscheidungsProblem, he proposed a computing machine.
Turing describes a machine that has an infinitely long tape
upon which it writes reads and alters symbols. He further
shows that a machine with the correct minimal set of
operations can calculate anything that is computable, no
matter the complexity.
Two way finite automata was explicitly introduced by Rabin
and Scott, not ready to confined to a strict forward motion
across Turing tape , they propose Two Way Finite automata
in their famous paper Finite Automata and Decision
Problem .They bring forth a two way finite automata over a
finite alphabet as a system Ƕ=(S,M,s0,F) where S is a finite
non-empty set (the set of alphabet ∑ ) the internal state of
M is a function from S×∑ into L×S(the table of moves of Ƕ
) s0 is the element of S(initial state of Ƕ) and F is a subset of
S(the set of designated final state of Ƕ)2
II. BASIC CONFIGURATION
Formally, a 2DFA is an octuple M = (Q, ∑, ├, a, ┤, s, t, r),
where Q is a finite set (the states), ∑ is a finite set (the input
alphabet), ├ is the left end marker, ┤ is the right end
marker, ʠ : Q× (∑U{├,┤}) → (Q × {L,R}) is the transition
function (L,Rstand for left and right, respectively),s ε Q is
the start state, t ε Q is the accept state. Two way finite
automata accept a language by fixing an input in between
two end marker and if after some finite moves it reaches to
final state it is considered to be accepted. The configuration
of two way automata is supposing a string x belong to
Language L is need to checked then fix an input x ε ∑*, say
x = a1a2 …..an. Let a0 = ├ and an+1 = ┤. Then a0a1a2 ….
anan+1 becomes ├ x ┤.
A configuration of the machine on input x is a pair (q, i)
such that q ε Q and 0 ≤ i ≤n + 1. Informally, the pair (q, i)
gives a current state and current position of the read head.
The start configuration is (s, 0), meaning that the machine is
in its start state s and scanning the left end marker. At any
point in time, the machine is in some state q with its read
head scanning some tape cell containing an input symbol or
one of the end markers. Based on its current state and the
symbol occupying the tape cell it is currently scanning, it
moves its read head either left or right one cell and enters a
new state. It accepts by entering a special accept state t and
rejects by entering a special reject state r. The machine’s
action on a particular state and symbol is determined by a
transition function that is part of the specification of the
machine.
Turing Machine like finite automata does contain finite
control and tape but similarities end over here there is much
more to it. Turing machine has tape but infinite, most of the
time left end is closed and its right end has long infinite
tape. Unlike finite machine it has read/write head which
could move left/right or stay at the same place. Formally
Turing machine is 5 tuple T = < Q, , , q0, >where Q
is a finite set of states, which is assumed not to contain the
symbol h. The symbol h is used to denote the halt state,
machine comes to halt only when it accept the input unlike
two way finite automata which has two separate accept and
reject state. is a finite set of symbols and it is the input
alphabet. is a finite set of symbols containing as its
subset and it is the set of tape symbols.
q0 is the initial state. is the transition function but its value
may not be defined for certain points.
It is a mapping from Q ×( { } ) to ( Q { h } ) ×(
{ } ) ×{ R , L , S } .
III.LANGUAGE ACCEPTOR
Rabin and Scott, Shepherdson 3
, bring forth that both in the
deterministic and in the nondeterministic versions of two
way finite automata, have the same computational power of
one-way automata, namely, they characterize the class of
regular languages.
Chomsky hierarchy 4
is a containment hierarchy of classes
of formal grammar. Chomsky hierarchy consist of four level
of formal languages Type-0 or recursively enumerable
language, type-1 or context-sensitive grammar, type-2
grammar or context free grammar and type-3 or regular

language. Every regular language is context-free, every
context-free language, not containing the empty string, is
context-sensitive and every context-sensitive language is
recursive and every recursive language is recursively
enumerable. One of the theorems says about regular
language and recursive language
Theorem: LReg → LRec
5
Proof: Recursive Language lie beneath phase structure and
recursive enumerable languages in Chomsky hierarchy of
language and they are decidable language, is well
established fact, if we consider a palindrome it is decidable
thus could be included in recursive language but are not
recognized by FSA thus is not a regular language .This
reestablished fact that LReg€ LRec.
This leads us to conclude that regular languages are included
as part of the recursive languages. Turing Machine can
easily act as an FSA all transition will be of form
ʠ (q1, a) = (q2, R)
Thus it could be concluded that Turing Machine can accept
regular language, whereby we only read from the tape and
transition internally from one state to the other, never
writing on the tape or moving in the other direction or if one
is to say more specifically then it is recognized by a read
only Turing machine ,that use only a constant amount of
space on their work tape, since any constant amount of
information can be incorporated into the finite control state
via a product construction (a state for each combination of
work tape state and control state).
Turing machine recognize recursively enumerable language.
IV. PROBLEM
Now we will do a comprehensive study with a problem and
see how it is accepted by Turing Machine and Two way
finite automata. We are going to take a simple problem and
analyses the difference in accepting of L= {an
bm
| m, n>0}6
.
The two-way finite automata read a magnetic tape, move
one block in either side left/right at each move as it is two
way finite automata. The following 2 state of 2FA over ∑ =
{0, 1} that accept tapes containing n number of a’s with m
number of b’s enclosed by left and right end marker. The
2FA has starting state q0, q0q1as its final state and r reject
state .The formal description of two-way F.A is
Q = {q0, q1}
∑ = {a, b}
s=q0
t=q1
The transition function is given by the following table:
States ├ a b ┤
qo (q0,R) (q0,R) (q1,R) (r,L)
q1 - (r,L) (q1,R) (q1,L)
The machine starts with its start state q0 with its read head
pointing to the left end marker. The transition ʠ (qi, a) =
(qj, R) shows that there is a transition from state qi to qj on
reading input alphabet a and machine takes a right move.
Lets us suppose the input string is abbab the first two
symbol is already scanned and the current input is a the
machine is in the state qi the transition is shown
2FA start with start state q0 and read left end marker ├ and
move to right to come to the input alphabet, if the string start
with a then finite state move to right direction ʠ (q0, b) if q0
state encounter with b then state change to q1 which also
read all the b’s in the string. The thing important to note is
that if q0 meet right end marker ┤then it enter into reject
state and its head moves to left direction so that it is not
struck. Similarly when state q1 reaches to right end marker
┤it comes to it accept state that is q1 and head move to left
direction and stays.
Turing machine read the input string from one state to
another .When it reach to the end of the input string, the
machine halts when the read /write head read # (the blank)
in the cell. The Turing machine for language L= {an
bm
| m,
n>0} is possible because regular language are acceptable by
read only Turing machine but difference lie with the basic
structure of Turing machine, the string is put on infinite
tape, the number of state consumed in accepting the
language, acceptability will also be determine if it each to
halt state otherwise it will be struck forever. Another
difference lie with Turing machine, it contain blank symbols
which is missing in two way finite automata .The formal
description of Turing machine will be Q = {q0, q1, q2, q3}
∑ = {a, b}
ɼ = {a, b, #}
The transition function will be
states a b #
q0 - - (#,#,R)
q1 (a,a,R) - (#,#,R)
q2 (a,a,R) (b,b,R) (#,#,R)
q3 - (b,b,R) (#,#,R)
h - - (#,#,h)

As transition table and diagram shows input start with # to
mark the left end of string, TM read # and move to right to
get across with input alphabet, if the string contains only #
means empty then it will move to halt state and accept the
string. If on state q1 it read alphabet as many time as in string
then it will move to right and change its state to q2, on
reading alphabet b as many times in the string it will transit
to state q3 comes to halt.
V. COMPLEXITY
Now we will tried to find out the complexity of Turing
machine and Two-way finite in accepting the language L=
{an
bm
} .Though we add very little in this regard but it may
lead to some meaningful conclusion. Complexity could be in
term of space and time .Time complexity is concern with
number of moves and space with storage .But we will stick to
time complexity because of Turing machine. Time
complexity of TM is how many times the tape moves when
the machine is started on some input. Space complexity
refers to how many cell of the tape are written to when the
machine run. Since, in this case, read only Turing machine is
employed we will focus only on time complexity.
The complexity of Two-way finite automata for L= ({an
bm
}
is based on the maximum number of moves made by the
machine.Machine start on the left most symbol, it always
move right, at each step (i) read the number for a’s (ii) for
each pair of a’s read and mark number of b’s.Thus at each
phase the maximum number of move (approximately) will be
the halves (n/2) of the input string. On reaching at right end
marker 2FA accept the string.At each individual step O (n)
moves. Thus notably the complexity of Two-way finite
automata in recognizing L= {an
bm
} will be polynomial time
i.e. O (n2
).
As for Turing machine, each moves read to see if # for
unmarked a’s is equal to # of unmarked b’s.Read again
accepting every other a’s starting with the first and every
other b’s starting with first. If # remains on the tape accept it
else reject.So number of phases is O (log2n).Time for each
individual phase will be O (n).
So the number of step by the Turing machine is at most O
(nlogn).
