Other Equivalent Machines and Methods
- Multidimensional Turing machine: For example, a model by Schönhage (1980) uses the four head-movement commands { North, South, East, West }.
- Single-tape, multi-head Turing machine: In an undecidability proof of the "problem of tag", Minsky 1961 and Shepherdson and Sturgis (1963) described machines with a single tape that could write along the tape with one head and read further along the tape with another.
- Markov Algorithm (1960) is another remarkably simple computational model, based on string rewriting, equivalent to the Turing machines.
- Lambda calculus
- Queue automaton

Famous quotes containing the words equivalent, machines and/or methods:
“Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotents.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
