Simplified Turing Machine Design for Recognizing Odd Palindromes 🔍

🎓 Welcome to the "Theory of Computation & Automata" Series!

In this video, we dive into the design of a Turing Machine that accepts the language L = wAwʳ, where:

w is any string over a given alphabet,

A is a fixed middle symbol,

and wʳ is the reverse of w.

💡 This represents all odd-length palindromes, making it an excellent example to understand how Turing Machines handle symmetry and central markers.

📌 Key Concepts Covered:

Structure and logic of L = wAwʳ

Step-by-step construction of the Turing Machine

Tape operations, symbol marking, and head movement

Final accepting state configuration

🧠 Learn how Turing Machines can recognize patterns that push beyond context-free limitations.

This video is essential for GATE/UGC-NET and university students tackling complex automata problems.
