MFCS: Problem set 2

A postscript version is available. Please check the postscript version if some symbol is not decipherable

  1. Let c be any number. Show that the following problems are undecidable.
    the input or Acceptance problem:
    ` tex2html_wrap_inline30 ' tex2html_wrap_inline32 ` tex2html_wrap_inline34 ' tex2html_wrap_inline32 ` tex2html_wrap_inline38 '.
    the output or Printing problem:
    ` tex2html_wrap_inline40 ' tex2html_wrap_inline32 ` tex2html_wrap_inline44 '.

  2. Show that the following problems are undecidable:
    1. ` tex2html_wrap_inline46 '
    2. ` tex2html_wrap_inline48 '
    3. ` tex2html_wrap_inline50 '
    4. ` tex2html_wrap_inline52 '
    5. ` tex2html_wrap_inline54 '
    6. ` tex2html_wrap_inline56 '
    7. ` tex2html_wrap_inline58 '
    8. ` tex2html_wrap_inline60 '
    9. ` tex2html_wrap_inline62 ', where g is any fixed computable function.
  3. Show that there is no total computable function f(x,y) with the following property: if tex2html_wrap_inline68 stops, then it does so in f(x,y) or fewer steps.
