TuringMachineWorstCasePlot
​
TuringMachineWorstCasePlot
[{number,s,k},{min,max},n]
plots the running time of a one-sided Turing machine against its input, together with the worst-case runtime envelope across each input size.
​
Details and Options
▪
The envelope (a step function) takes the maximum running time over all inputs of each length in base k, giving an upper bound on cost as the input grows; the underlying per-input runtimes come from
OneSidedTuringMachineFunction
with the
"Steps"
property.
▪
The
"ShowEnvelope"
option toggles the envelope. Choose an input range in which every machine halts within n steps — non-halting inputs have infinite runtime and cannot be placed on the plot.
