\begin{frame}{Extensions of Turing Machines} Extensions of TMs such as \begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0ex} \item multiple tapes, or \item nondeterminism \end{itemize} do \emph{not} give extra expressive power. \pause\medskip \begin{goal}{} \emph{Multiple tapes} can be simulated using a single tape with polynomial overhead in time complexity. \end{goal} \pause\medskip \begin{block}{} \emph{Nondeterministic Turing machines} have as transition function \begin{talign} \delta:Q\times\Gamma\rightarrow 2^{Q\times\Gamma\times\{L,R\}} \end{talign} \end{block} \pause \begin{goal}{} A nondeterministic TM can be simulated by deterministic TM using \emph{breadth-first search} (all computations in parallel). \medskip The overhead in \emph{time complexity} is believed to be an \emph{exponential factor}. \end{goal} \end{frame}
