Abstract

We consider computations of a Turing machine under noise that causes consecutive violations of the machine's transition function. Given a constant upper bound β on the size of bursts of faults, we construct a Turing machine M (β ) subject to faults that can simulate any fault-free machine under the condition that bursts not closer to each other than V for an appropriate V =O (β ).
