TM may halt in non final state ..in L2 we can atleast apply 1st property of rice theorem but in L1 we can't apply 1st also M I right sir? 0 votes 0 votes chauhansunil20th commented Jan 8, 2019 reply Follow Share Both the languages mentioned in the question, L1 and L2 are RE. only the difference is, in the case of L1, the TM has to halt either in final state or non--final state, while in L2, TM will halt in a final state, means, TM will accept epsilon as a member of the language. if we slightly change the language L2, as L2 contains ONLY epsilon as the member of the language L2, then it is NOT RE. 2 votes 2 votes bhanu kumar 1 commented Jan 8, 2019 reply Follow Share not understood ,Please anyone Explain clearly? 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
