A non-deterministic Turing machine (NDTM) is a theoretical model of computation that, unlike its deterministic counterpart, can have multiple possible transitions for a given state and input symbol. This means that the NDTM can explore many computational paths simultaneously, effectively allowing it to choose among various possibilities at each step. This property makes NDTMs a powerful conceptual tool in understanding the limits of computation and complexity classes.
congrats on reading the definition of non-deterministic turing machine. now let's actually learn it.
