Latest revision as of 13:27, 19 October 2026

A collection of Busy Beaver Champions including Champions for BB-Adjacent functions. Note that for all functions with the input format f(n,m), n denotes the number of states and m denotes the number of symbols of the relevant Busy Beaver domain. Note that for functions with this input format f(n) = f(n,2).

State-and-Symbol-Limited Busy Beaver functions

Busy Beaver functions where the programs size is limited by the amount of states and symbols.

Original Busy Beaver Functions

Maximum Shifts Function (S(n,m), also commonly called BB(n,m))

Maximum amount of steps a Turing machine with n states and m symbols can run for before halting when started on the blank tape.
