Jan 13, 2010 at 13:18 | comment | added | Joel David Hamkins | I don't find it a flaw to be close to or equivalent to the halting problem. After all, in a robust sense I think all the answers posted here so far are equivalent to the Halting problem, in the sense of Turing equivalence. Undecidability in the cases of the answers is established ultimately by reducing the Halting problem to the given problem, and conversely, for each problem one can reduce it to the Halting problem. So all the posted problems have the same Turing degree as the Halting Problem. | |
