in reply to Re: The Ackermann Function
in thread The Ackermann Function

I'm afraid this doesn't make sense to me. Are you suggesting that the Ackermann function should simply not be computed if the conditions for branch 3 hold? That would imply that one can only compute A(0, i) and A(i, 0), which is not particularly interesting.

I may miss your point, but I'd be a bit surprised if FSMs would be useful in this context. Can you show us what you have in mind?

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-
