Explain the fundamental difference between the ” Halts on the n’th transition problem” from Example 11.5.2 and the ”Halting Problem” that makes the former decidable and the latter undecidable. 6. Prove that there is no algorithm that determines whether an arbitrary Turing machine prints the symbol 1 on three consecutive transitions when run with a blank tape.

Please remember that in any Turing machine description you should give a description of
the tape (where the inputs are and how the tape is being used) and you should identify the
high-level function of sets of states (eg states q, through qj copies the input, qk through q;
increments the counter, and so on.) I also encourage you to use Turing machine macros where
appropriate.

1. Construct a two-tape Turing machine with input alphabet {a, b} that accepts strings with

the same number of a’s and b’s. The computation with input u should take no more than
2 * length(u) -+- 3 transitions.

2. Construct a ’I1rning machine that reduces the language L to Q. In each case the alphabet

of L is {w, y) and the alphabet of Q is {a, b}:
(a) L = (my? and Q = (aa)*
(b) L=:1:*y”‘ and Q=alb
(c) L = {xiyixih’ Z O} and Q = aibili 2 0}

3. Construct a Turing machine that decides whether a string over {0, 1}* is the encoding of
a non-deterministic Turing machine. What would be required to change this to a machine
that decides whether the input is the representation of a deterministic Turing machine.

4. The universal machine introduced in Section 11.5 was designed to simulate the actions of
Turing machines that accepts by halting. Consequently, the representation scheme R(M)
did not encode accepting states.

(a) Extend the representation of R(iM) of a Turing machine M to explicitly encode the
accepting states of M.

(b) Design a universal machine U f that accepts input of the form R(M)w if the machine
114 accepts input w by final state.

5. Explain the fundamental difference between the ” Halts on the n’th transition problem”
from Example 11.5.2 and the ”Halting Problem” that makes the former decidable and
the latter undecidable.

6. Prove that there is no algorithm that determines whether an arbitrary Turing machine
prints the symbol 1 on three consecutive transitions when run with a blank tape.
7. Use Rice’s theorem to show that the following properties of recursively enumerable lan-
guages are undecidable:
(a) L(M) = E’“
(b) L is infinite.
8. Let g : id, h = p?) + pg”, and let f be defined from g and h by primitive recursion.
(a) Compute the values f (3, O), f (3, 1), f (3, 2).
(b) Give a closed form (nonrecursive) definition of the function f.
9. Let g(:1:, y, 2) be a primitive recursive flmction. Show that each of the following functions
is primitive recursive.
(a) flab?!) Z 9017, 14,93)
(b) f(37,y, Z, 2) = g(£r,y, £13)
(0) f(:v) = 9(1,2,x)
10. Show that gcd(:c, y) : the greatest common divisor of a: and y is primitive recursive.

back up your statements with well-researched facts.

The papers are to be a minimum of 6-7 pages long. You will have the option of rewriting your first paper for a higher grade after initial comments and grading have
been completed.

Make sure to include academic references and utilize the proper APA format.You may refer to the APA manual for formatting and citation requirements. Purdue

You will need to submit a hard copy of your paper to me either in class during our next class meeting this week or you may submit a hard copy to the political science
office on or before our next scheduled class meeting/date when the paper is due. If you decide to submit the paper to the political science department, make sure to
have them time stamp it and place it in my mailbox. Each day a paper is submitted late, it will be marked down a point. Please note, the last time I will be on campus
to pickup the papers will be on Friday at 1:45pm. After that the University will be on recess for spring break.

Develop and present a valuation model for corporate debt with a face value of $70 million dollars

Develop and present a valuation model for corporate debt with a face value of $70 million dollars. The model should use hypothetical assumptions for the coupon rate and other characteristics as well as a hypothetical market interest rate. You will also need to select a maturity for the bonds and the frequency of the coupon payments. The market rate should be justifiable/reasonable given current market conditions. Explain why the model will be important for the issuance process that is being considered. Initiate a discussion for the possible determinants of the market interest rate that you chose. This should be a general discussion. For example, you should explain how the inflation rate in the economy could be expected to impact the market rate that you chose. Explain how the market rate you chose will be dependent upon the maturity. Describe what you believe to be the most persuasive theory associated with the shape of market interest rates across the maturity spectrum (i.e., the yield curve). Comment on how the different bond characteristics would impact the valuation of the bond. Provide illustrations in a summary table format for how the value might adjust for the inclusion of call provisions and sinking funds. Explain the nature of each of these characteristics. Explain how the financial health of the corporation as revealed through financial statements and ratios will impact the bond rating and in turn the valuation model. Cite and discuss related academic research on bond ratings and financial analysis. Create a summary table showing some possible impacts on the bond valuation model from the corporation having weaker and stronger financial health. Use reasonable assumptions for the revaluation. Clearly explain what is changing within the model for your assumption of weak and strong financial health. Support your report with at least four (4) resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
