The size of the tape in linear bounded automata (LBA) plays a crucial role in determining the number of distinct configurations. A linear bounded automaton is a theoretical computational device that operates on an input tape of finite length, which can be read from and written to by the automaton. The tape serves as the

A Turing machine (TM) is a theoretical device that serves as a fundamental building block in the field of computational complexity theory. It was introduced by the mathematician Alan Turing in 1936 as a mathematical model of computation. A Turing machine consists of several components that work together to enable its functionality and computational power.
