An undecidable problem for context-free grammars

From MaRDI portal





This note deals with the following problem: Let \(G=(V,\Sigma,P,S)\) be a context-free grammar and let \(h: \Sigma\) \({}^*\to \Sigma^*_ 1\) be a homomorphism. Are there distinct words v and w in L(G) such that \(h(v)=h(w)?\) It is shown that the problem is undecidable by reducing the ambiguity problem for context-free grammars to it.
