For each of the following languages, give two strings that are members and two strings that are not members—a total of four strings for each part. Assume the alpha-alphabet in all parts.
Show that the function K(x) is not a computable function.
Let is a single-tape TM that never modifies the portion of the tape that contains the input w. Is X decidable? Prove your answer.
Show that A is decidable iff .
Myhill–Nerode theorem. Refer to Problem . Let L be a language and let X be a set of strings. Say that X is pairwise distinguishable by L if every two distinct strings in X are distinguishable by L. Define the index of L to be the maximum number of elements in any set that is pair wise distinguishable by L . The index of L may be finite or infinite.
a. Show that if L is recognized by a DFA with k states, L has index at most k.
b. Show that if the index of L is a finite number K , it is recognized by a DFA with k states.
c. Conclude that L is regular iff it has finite index. Moreover, its index is the size of the smallest DFA recognizing it.
