Can anyone give an example of a NDTM for a problem (which cannot be solved with DTM) with transition function?

    $\begingroup$ What do you mean "with transitional functions"? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 8, 2020 at 0:41

There is no such problem. All problems that can be solved (i.e., decided) by a non-deterministic Turing machine $T$ can also be solved by a deterministic Turing machine that simulates $T$.

  • $\begingroup$ Just any non deterministic Turing machine? $\langle \{ q_0 \}, \{ \epsilon \}, q_0, \epsilon, \emptyset, \delta \rangle$, where $\delta=\{ (q_0, \epsilon, q_0, \epsilon, \texttt{left}), (q_0, \epsilon, q_0, \epsilon, \texttt{right}) \}$. I'm following this definition. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Which language does it accept? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 24, 2020 at 7:53
  • $\begingroup$ The empty language. It has no accepting states. $\endgroup$
