8 UNIT-V UNDECIDABILITY 1.Define the language Ld and show that Ld is not recursively enumerable language. Recursively enumerable Languages M is said to generate a string w if and only if at some point M writes w# on the output tape. G(M) = {w M generates w} Note: M need not generate strings in order. It is also possible that M generates some strings many times! Definition: L is recursively enumerable (r.e.) iff there is a TM M such that L = G(M). 2.Explain the Halting problem. Is it decidable or undecidable problem. In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of determining, from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an input, whether the program will finish running or continue to run forever. Alan Turing proved in 1936 that a general algorithm to solve the halting problem for all possible program-input pairs cannot exist. A key part of the proof was a mathematical definition of a computer and program, which became known as a Turing machine; the halting problem is undecidable over Turing machines. It is one of the first examples of a decision problem. 3.Define Universal language Lu.Show that Lu is recursively enumerable but not recursive. The Universal Language Lu is a set of binary strings which can be modeled by a turning machine. 4.Obtain the code for the TM M=({q1,q2,q3},{0,1},{0,1,B}, δ,q1,b,{q2}) With the moves δ(q1,1)=(q3,0,r) δ(q3,0)=(q1,1,r) δ(q3,1)=(q2,0,r) δ(q3,b)=(q3,1,l) δ(q3,b)=(q3,1,l) 1. Identify the mapping Function. 2. Note the codes for function. 3. The code for Tm can be written.

9 5. Define Ld and show that Ld is not recursively enumerable. Recursively enumerable Languages M is said to generate a string w if and only if at some point M writes w# on the output tape. G(M) = {w M generates w} Note: M need not generate strings in order. It is also possible that M generates some strings many times! Definition: L is recursively enumerable (r.e.) iff there is a TM M such that L = G(M). 6.Define the universal language and show that it is recursively enumerable but not recursive. A language is recursively enumerable if some Turing machine accepts it Let be a L recursively enumerable language and the Turing Machine that accepts it M w L w if then halts in a final state M if w L then M halts in a non-final state or loops forever. 7.State and Prove Rice s Theorem for recursive index sets. It is more complicated to find out whether L is or is not recursively enumerable (rec. enum.) Rice has a theorem: L is rec. enum. if and only if satisfies 3 conditions.
