Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Prove that the Regularity Problem is undecidable by constructing a detailed reduction from the Empty Language Problem. Include all necessary steps.

💡 Hint: Map the original language’s acceptances and rejections carefully.

Challenge 2 Hard

Using Rice's Theorem, explore how the property of language finiteness can highlight undecidability. Construct your argument thoughtfully.

💡 Hint: Consider which languages are inherently finite versus infinite.
