  Pushdown automaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Informally, a pushdown automaton is a finite automaton that can make use of a stack.
The (underlying) finite automaton is specifically a nondeterministic finite state machine, giving what is technically known as a "nondeterministic pushdown automaton" (NPDA).
A linear bounded automaton is a device which is more powerful than a pushdown automaton but less so than a Turing machine.

A linear bounded automaton is a restricted form of a Turing machine (A hypothetical computer with an infinitely long memory tape).
It differs from a Turing machine in that while the tape is initially considered infinite, only a finite contiguous portion whose length is a function of the length of the initial input can be accessed by the read/write head.

In the theory of computation, a nondeterministic finite state machine or nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) is a finite state machine where for each pair of state and input symbol there may be several possible next states.
In 1769, a chess-playing automaton called the Turk, created by Wolfgang von Kempelen, made the rounds of the courts of Europe, but in fact was a famous hoax, operated from inside by a hidden human operator.
Also, an automaton is a mathematical model for a finite state machine, see automata theory.

Once entered, the automaton will execute until either a branch accepts, all branches hang, or the transition or branch limits are exceeded.
For linear bounded automata you are limited to one tape.
The LBA tape will be limited to the length of the input and will be bounded on the left with a pound sign (#) and on the right with a dollar sign ($).

 Pushdown automaton - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Pushdown automatons differ from normal finite state machines in two ways: (1) They can use the top of the stack to figure out what transition to take.
The finite automaton is usually a nondeterministic finite state machine, which is called a "nondeterministic pushdown automaton", or "NPDA," since deterministic pushdown automata cannot recognize all context-free languages.
If we allow a finite automaton access to two stacks instead of just one, we obtain a more powerful device — equivalent in power to a Turing machine.

An automaton consists of a control mechanism with a finite number of states, and some form of tape, which may be read and advanced as in a magnetic tape player, and possibly also written (recorded) and moved in either direction.
The automaton can be in any one of its finite set of states, but only by arriving in that state by a sequence of transition rules from the start state.
An automaton with a read-only tape and two independent stacks is equivalent to a Turing machine.

Instead we use a Push-Down Automaton which is like a DFA except that we are also allowed to use a stack.
The automaton which recognises a context-sensitive language is called a linear-bounded automaton: this is basically a NFA/DFA which can store symbols in a list.
This basically means that the size of a sentential form is bounded by the length of the sentence (ie.

 Halting problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The undecidability of the halting problem relies on the fact that algorithms are assumed to have potentially infinite storage: at any one time they can only store finitely many things, but they can always store more and they never run out of memory.
In this case, the halting problem for programs running on that machine can be solved with a very simple general algorithm (albeit one that is so inefficient that it could never be useful in practice).
For example, there are some very large upper bounds on numbers with certain properties in number theory, but it's not feasible to check all values below this bound in a naïve way with a computer — they can't even hold some of these numbers in memory.

 Re: More on "Is C Turing-complete?"
LBAs can recognize type-1 languages in the Chomsky hierarchy (context-sensitive languages), but not type-0 languages (recursive and recursively-enumerable languages).
What Arthur's contention really comes down to is: a computing model which implements only the set of all strictly-conforming C programs is in fact an LBA, not a UTM, because the "tape" implemented by that model is bounded.
The question Arthur was trying to settle was whether unbounded recursion was sufficient to boost scC from LBA status to UTM status.

An automaton has a finite description that, given a grammar, can accept some string of terminal symbols and can determine whether the string can be derived in the grammar.
Context sensitive grammars are accepted by two-way, linear bounded automaton - essentially a Turing machine where the output tape cannot be longer than the input string.
Right linear grammars are recognized by finite-state automaton consisting of a finite set of states and a set of transitions between pairs of states.

An LBA is a TM that has a finite tape equal to the size of its input.
Furthermore, an LBA is aware of when its head is on either the left or right hand side of the tape.
M $ is an LBA where $ \lang(M) = \emptyset \}$ \bigskip Our proof idea is as follows: Given $\langle M, w \rangle$ construct $\langle X_{M,w} \rangle $ which is an LBA that accepts its input only if its input is a valid accepting computation history for $M$ on input $w$.

 Learning to count without a counter
If brains produce behaviors which fall entirely within the realm of context-free grammars, for example, we might suppose that the brain is the computational equivalent of a Linear Bounded Automata (since this class of machines is both necessary and sufficient for the generation and recognition of such languages).
Elman (1991), for example, demonstrates the ability of a recurrent network to emulate certain aspects of a pushdown automaton (namely, to process recursively embedded structures to a limited depth); the analysis of this network suggests that the network partitions the hidden unit state space to represent grammatical categories and depth of embedding.
These require a form of pushdown automaton known as a Linear Bounded Automaton.
