The halting problem is a decision problem about properties of computer programs on a fixed Turing-complete model of computation, i.e., all programs that can be written in some given programming language that is general enough to be equivalent to a Turing machine. The problem is to determine, given a program and an input to the program, whether ...
The problem of determining if a given set of Wang tiles can tile the plane. The problem of determining the Kolmogorov complexity of a string. Hilbert's tenth problem: the problem of deciding whether a Diophantine equation (multivariable polynomial equation) has a solution in integers.
A decision problem whose input consists of strings or more complex values is formalized as the set of numbers that, via a specific Gödel numbering, correspond to inputs that satisfy the decision problem's criteria. A decision problem A is called decidable or effectively solvable if the formalized set of A is a recursive set.
Goldbach’s Conjecture. One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in math is also very easy to write. Goldbach’s Conjecture is, “Every even number (greater than two) is the sum of two primes ...
A decision problem is a computational problem where the answer for every instance is either yes or no. An example of a decision problem is primality testing: "Given a positive integer n, determine if n is prime." A decision problem is typically represented as the set of all instances for which the answer is yes. For example, primality testing ...
The confused student put a question mark next to the problem—and we probably would have too. The rest of the problems were much less confusing and fairly straightforward. “Eric has $15.
A key concept in epistemic logic, this problem highlights the importance of common knowledge. Some authors also refer to this as the Two Generals' Paradox, the Two Armies Problem, or the Coordinated Attack Problem. [1] [2] The Two Generals' Problem was the first computer communication problem to be proven to be unsolvable. [3]
