Rice’s theorem. Let P be any nontrivial property of the language of a Turing machine. Prove that the problem of determining whether a given Turing machine’s language has property P is undecidable. In more formal terms, let P be a language consisting of Turing machine descriptions where P fulfils two conditions. First, P is nontrivial—it contains some, but not all, TM descriptions. Second, P is a property of the TM’s language—whenever , we have if and only iff . Here, and are any TMs. Prove that P is an undecidable language.
