Peter Linz Edition 5 Exercise 12.1 Question 4 (Page No. 307)
In the general halting problem, we ask for an algorithm that gives the correct answer for any $M$ and $w$. We can relax this generality, for example by looking for an algorithm that works for all $M$ but only a ... that determines whether or not $(M,w)$ halts. Show that even in this restricted setting the problem is undecidable.

Both problems P and Q are undecidable. Problem Q is decidable and P is ... DCFL's, i.e when both languages are DCFL's. How do I analyze decidablity for different languages? In this case, for a RL and DCFL.
