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:
“But then people don’t read literature in order to understand; they read it because they want to re-live the feelings and sensations which they found exciting in the past. Art can be a lot of things; but in actual practice, most of it is merely the mental equivalent of alcohol and cantharides.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“There are bills to be paid, machines to keep in repair,
Irregular verbs to learn, the Time Being to redeem
From insignificance.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“Commerce is unexpectedly confident and serene, alert, adventurous, and unwearied. It is very natural in its methods withal, far more so than many fantastic enterprises and sentimental experiments, and hence its singular success.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
