How to rewrite Ackermann function in non-recursive style?

Not quite O(1) but definitely non-recursive.

public static int itFunc(int m, int n){
    Stack<Integer> s = new Stack<Integer>;
    s.add(m);
    while(!s.isEmpty()){
        m=s.pop();
        if(m==0||n==0)
            n+=m+1;
        else{
            s.add(--m);
            s.add(++m);
            n--;
        }
    }
    return n;
}

This looks like homework, so I won't give you the answer but I will lead you in the right direction:

If you want to breakdown the recursion, it might be useful for you to list out all the values as they progress, letting m = {0...x} n = {0...y}.

For example:

m = 0, n = 0 = f(0,0) = M+N+1 = 1
m = 1, n = 0 = f(1,0) = M+N+1 = 2
m = 1, n = 1 = f(1,1) = f(0,f(1,0)) = f(0,2) = 3
m = 2, n = 1 = f(2,1) = f(1,f(2,0)) = f(1,3) = f(0,f(1,2)) = f(0,f(0,f(1,1))
             = f(0,f(0,3))          = f(0,4) = 5

With this, you can come up with a non-recursive relationship (a non-recursive function definition) that you can use.

Edit: So it looks like this is the Ackermann function, a total computable function that is not primitive recursive.

All the answers posted previously don't properly implement Ackermann.

def acker_mstack(m, n)
  stack = [m]
  until stack.empty?
    m = stack.pop

    if m.zero?
      n += 1
    elsif n.zero?
      stack << m - 1
      n = 1
    else
      stack << m - 1 << m
      n -= 1
    end
  end
  n
end
