About the decision of reachability for register machines

Véronique Cortier · RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications · 2002

We study the decidability of the following problem: given p affine functions ƒ1,...,ƒp over and two vectors , is v2 reachable from v1 by successive iterations of ƒ1,...,ƒp (in this given order)? We show that this question is decidable for p = 1, 2 and undecidable for some fixed p.
