Say that a CFG is minimal if none of its rules can be removed without changing the language generated. Let MINCFG = is a minimal CFG}.
Use Rice’s theorem, which appears in Problem 5.28, to prove the undecidability of each of the following languages.
Question: A two-dimensional finite automaton (2DIM-DFA) is defined as follows. The input is an rectangle, for any . The squares along the boundary of the rectangle contain the symbol # and the internal squares contain symbols over the input alphabet . The transition function indicates the next state and the new head position (Left, Right, Up, Down). The machine accepts when it enters one of the designated accept states. It rejects if it tries to move off the input rectangle or if it never halts. Two such machines are equivalent if they accept the same rectangles. Consider the problem of determining whether two of these machines are equivalent. Formulate this problem as a language and show that it is undecidable.
Question: Let be the tape alphabet for all TMs in this problem. Define the busy beaver function as follows. For each value of k, consider all K-state TMs that halt when started with a blank tape. Let be the maximum number of 1s that remain on the tape among all of these machines. Show that BB is not a computable function.
