About the decision of reachability for register machines
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 36 (2002) no. 4, pp. 341-358.

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