Thoughts

Let's analyze each language to determine if it's regular:

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|w|_{aba}\ne|w|_{a}\}$
- $|w|_{aba}$ counts the number of occurrences of substring "aba" in $w$
- $|w|_a$ counts the number of occurrences of letter 'a' in $w$
- This language contains all strings where the number of "aba" substrings is not equal to the total number of 'a's

Let me think about this. If $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$, then every 'a' in the string must be part of exactly one "aba" substring. This seems very restrictive.

Actually, wait. $|w|_{aba}$ counts overlapping occurrences or non-overlapping? Usually it's non-overlapping unless specified otherwise. But even with overlapping, this is a complex counting condition.

This language seems to be regular actually. We can construct a DFA that tracks whether we've seen patterns that would make $|w|_{aba} \ne |w|_a$. Actually, let me reconsider...

If $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$, that means every 'a' appears exactly once in some "aba" pattern. But "ababa" has 3 'a's and could have 2 "aba" patterns (overlapping), so this would not be in the complement.

Actually, I think this language might be regular. We need to track a finite amount of information about the difference between these counts.

**Option 2:** $\big(\{w\in\Sigma^*:w=w^R\}\big)^*$
- The inner language is the set of palindromes over $\Sigma$
- The outer operation is Kleene star, so this is the set of strings that can be written as concatenations of palindromes

- Interestingly, this generates the entire alphabet's possible strings
- Single letters serve as base palindromes
- Concatenating these palindromes creates a universal language

I realize this language is equivalent to $\Sigma^*$, which is definitively regular. The key insight is that palindromes of single letters, when concatenated, produce all possible strings.

The pattern includes $\epsilon$, individual letters, and complex palindromic combinations like $aba$, $bab$, covering the entire alphabet's potential configurations.

I'll analyze the language's structure by examining its complement and key constraints. The language involves $a^ib^jc^k$ strings with specific conditions: either the number of $a$'s isn't exactly one, or the $b$ and $c$ counts match.

The language breaks into two key subsets: strings with zero or multiple $a$'s, and strings where $b$ and $c$ counts are identical. This suggests potential complexity in determining regularity.

I'm seeing that $L_1$ (strings without exactly one $a$) appears constructible by a deterministic finite automaton, while $L_2$ (strings with matching $b$ and $c$ counts) presents a counting challenge that typically indicates non-regularity.

The union of these languages requires careful examination to determine its ultimate regular or non-regular status.

When considering the language's structure, I notice two key acceptance conditions: strings with zero or multiple initial $a$'s, and strings with exactly one $a$ where $b$ and $c$ counts match.

The second condition suggests potential non-regularity due to the required counting and comparison mechanism, which finite automata struggle to implement.

I'll need to apply the pumping lemma to definitively demonstrate the language's non-regular nature.

Assuming regularity, I'll select a specific string $w = ab^pc^p$ that satisfies the language's constraints, where $p$ represents the pumping length.

I'll analyze two scenarios for the pumped substring $y$. In the first case where $y$ is the initial $a$, I can generate valid strings by pumping: $xy^0z$ and $xy^2z$ both remain in the language by satisfying the membership condition.

For the second scenario involving $y$ as a substring of $b$'s, I'll examine how pumping affects the string's structure, focusing on how the pumped version maintains or potentially violates language membership.

The key observation emerges when $y$ consists of initial $b$'s: the pumped version $xy^0z$ cannot satisfy the language's requirements. Specifically, when $m > 0$, the pumped string fails to meet the condition, which contradicts the pumping lemma's assumptions.

This contradiction demonstrates that the language cannot be regular, revealing fundamental constraints in its structural properties.

Exploring further, I notice strings like $(aba)^n$ provide interesting insights. These strings inherently demonstrate the language's complexity, showing $n$ "aba" substrings and $2n$ total 'a's, which cannot be uniformly matched.

The challenge lies in ensuring each 'a' participates in precisely one "aba" substring, a condition that becomes mathematically intricate when analyzing string transformations.

Investigating overlapping versus non-overlapping patterns reveals subtle nuances. The relationship between substring counts suggests potential regularity, yet the specific counting constraints might render the language non-regular.

The core problem centers on establishing a consistent mapping between "aba" occurrences and individual 'a' characters, which seems to defy straightforward finite automaton representation.

Shifting focus to proving non-regularity for option 3 appears more promising, as the intricate counting requirements hint at complex structural limitations.

Answer

Looking at each language:

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|w|_{aba}\ne|w|_{a}\}$
This language is actually regular. The condition $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$ (the complement) is extremely restrictive - it requires every 'a' to be part of exactly one "aba" substring, which is essentially impossible for most strings. The complement is finite or very simple, making the language regular.

**Option 2:** $\big(\{w\in\Sigma^*:w=w^R\}\big)^*$
This language equals $\Sigma^*$ and is therefore regular. Since every single letter is a palindrome, any string can be written as a concatenation of single-letter palindromes.

**Option 3:** $\{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$
This language is NOT regular. It includes all strings except those of the form $ab^jc^k$ where $j \ne k$.

Angenommen, die Sprache $L = \{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$ ist regulär. Dann existiert eine Pumping-Länge $p$.

Betrachte den String $w = ab^pc^p$. Es gilt $|w| = 1 + 2p \ge p$ und $w \in L$, da $i=1$ und $j=k=p$, also die Bedingung $(i\ne 1\vee j=k)$ erfüllt ist.

Nach dem Pumping-Lemma kann $w = xyz$ geschrieben werden mit:
1. $|xy| \le p$
2. $|y| > 0$  
3. Für alle $n \ge 0$ gilt $xy^nz \in L$

Da $|xy| \le p$ und der String mit $a$ beginnt gefolgt von $p$ b's, besteht $xy$ aus dem $a$ und höchstens $p-1$ b's.

Da $|y| > 0$ und $y$ ein Teilstring von $xy$ ist, muss $y = b^m$ für ein $m > 0$ gelten (da wir nur ein $a$ haben und $|xy| \le p$).

Dann ist $x = a$ und $z = b^{p-m}c^p$.

Für $n = 0$ erhalten wir:
$xy^0z = ab^{p-m}c^p$

Dieser String hat $i=1$, $j=p-m$ und $k=p$. Damit er in $L$ ist, muss $(1\ne 1\vee p-m=p)$ gelten, was zu $p-m=p$ führt. Dies ist falsch, da $m > 0$.

Also ist $xy^0z \notin L$, was dem Pumping-Lemma widerspricht.

Daher ist $L$ nicht regulär.

Thoughts

Let me analyze each language to determine if $L \ne L^R$.

**Option 1:** $L(b^*a^*b)$
This language consists of strings that match the pattern $b^*a^*b$, i.e., any number of b's, followed by any number of a's, followed by exactly one b.

$L^R$ would be the reverse of all strings in $L$. If $w \in L$, then $w = b^i a^j b$ for some $i,j \geq 0$.
The reverse is $w^R = b a^j b^i$.

So $L^R = \{ba^jb^i : i,j \geq 0\}$ which matches the pattern $ba^*b^*$.

Let's check if $L = L^R$:
- $aab \in L$ (with $i=0, j=2$)
- The reverse is $baa$, which should be in $L^R$. Does $baa$ match $ba^*b^*$? It would need to be $b a^j b^i$ for some $i,j$. We have $baa$, so after the initial $b$, we have $aa$. This doesn't match $a^*b^*$ unless we have $a^2b^0$, which works! So $baa \in L^R$.
- But wait, is $baa \in L$? It would need to match $b^*a^*b$. We have $baa$ = $b^1a^2$... but there's no final $b$. So $baa \notin L$.

Therefore $L \ne L^R$. The word $baa$ is in $L^R$ but not in $L$.

**Option 2:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:w\ne w^R\}$


This is the set of all non-palindromes.

If $w$ is a non-palindrome, then $w^R$ must also be a non-palindrome. Since $(w^R)^R = w$, and $w \ne w^R$, we know $w^R$ will also not equal its own reverse.

Therefore, $L^R$ contains all non-palindromes, making $L = L^R$.

For the language $\{uavv:u,v\in\Sigma^*\}$, I see that $L^R$ becomes $\{vvau : u,v \in \Sigma^*\}$. 

Checking membership, $abb$ is in $L$ with $u = \epsilon$ and $v = b$. When examining $L^R$, I find $abb$ can be represented as $au$ where $u = bb$ and $v = \epsilon$, confirming $abb$ is also in $L^R$.

The next example involves $aaa$, which requires careful decomposition to verify membership in $L^R$.

By analyzing the structure, $v$ must be a single character like $a$, enabling $vv = aa$ and $u = \epsilon$. This confirms $aaa \in L^R$.

The subsequent example of $baa$ explores different potential splits, revealing constraints on valid decompositions that preserve the language's symmetry requirements.

Critically, the decomposition reveals fundamental properties of non-palindromes, showing how reversing a non-palindromic word maintains its non-palindromic nature.

By examining the relationship between $x$ and $x^R$, I recognize that every non-palindrome generates another non-palindrome through reversal, creating a symmetric set relationship.

This symmetry suggests $L = L^R$, challenging my initial assumption about the language's structure.

The key example of $ba$ demonstrates that some reversed strings exist outside the original language's constraints, confirming a non-trivial set difference.

For the language $L = \{uavv : u,v \in \Sigma^*\}$, $aba$ satisfies membership through specific decompositions. By carefully placing the central $a$ and manipulating prefix and suffix strings, $aba$ belongs to both $L$ and $L^R$ under different transformations.

Examining $aab$ reveals asymmetric language behavior. While $aab$ fails membership in $L$ due to impossible decompositions, it successfully enters $L^R$ by strategically positioning its characters. The distinct membership criteria highlight the language's intricate structural requirements.

The definition emphasizes strings constructed through specific concatenation patterns involving $a$ and repeated substrings, creating complex membership conditions across original and reversed languages.

By carefully examining the reversal process, the language transforms, revealing symmetric structural properties where repeated substrings and their reversals interact systematically.

The notation demonstrates how string manipulations can generate intricate language specifications through strategic reversals and concatenations.

Checking specific examples reveals subtle symmetries between the original and reversed language representations, showing how positioning and string components align across different transformations.

The key distinction emerges in how the $a$ is positioned and the surrounding string segments are constructed, with each language definition imposing unique constraints on string composition.

Systematic analysis suggests potential equivalence requires careful examination of string generation rules and structural requirements. If we choose the first $a$ at position 1, $ww = b$ is impossible due to odd length. Selecting the second $a$ at position 2 also yields $ww = ba$, which remains impossible.

$baa$ belongs to $L$ but not to $L^R$. This demonstrates that $L$ and $L^R$ are different for the third option.

The final conclusions confirm $L \ne L^R$, with specific counterexamples showing the language asymmetry.

Answer

Looking at each language to determine if $L \ne L^R$:

**Option 1:** $L(b^*a^*b)$
- $L$ consists of strings matching $b^*a^*b$ (any number of b's, any number of a's, then exactly one b)
- If $w = b^i a^j b \in L$, then $w^R = ba^jb^i$
- So $L^R = \{ba^jb^i : i,j \geq 0\}$, which matches pattern $ba^*b^*$
- Example: $ba \in L^R$ (reverse of $ab \in L$), but $ba \notin L$ (doesn't end with b)
- Therefore $L \ne L^R$ ✓

**Option 2:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:w\ne w^R\}$
- $L$ is the set of all non-palindromes
- If $w$ is a non-palindrome, then $w^R$ is also a non-palindrome
  (If $w^R$ were a palindrome: $(w^R)^R = w^R \Rightarrow w = w^R$, contradiction)
- Every non-palindrome $x$ is in $L^R$ (take $w = x^R$, which is also a non-palindrome)
- Therefore $L^R$ is also the set of all non-palindromes, so $L = L^R$ ✗

**Option 3:** $\{uavv:u,v\in\Sigma^*\}$
- $L$ consists of strings with an 'a' followed by a square (string repeated twice)
- $L^R = \{(uavv)^R : u,v \in \Sigma^*\} = \{v^Rv^Rau^R : u,v \in \Sigma^*\} = \{wwau : w,u \in \Sigma^*\}$
- $L$: strings where some 'a' has a square after it
- $L^R$: strings where some 'a' has a square before it
- Example: $baa = b \cdot a \cdot aa \in L$ (with $u=b, v=a$)
- For $baa \in L^R$: need $baa = wwau$. If $a$ is at position 1: $ww=b$ (impossible - odd length). If $a$ is at position 2: $ww=ba$ (impossible - odd length)
- So $baa \in L$ but $baa \notin L^R$
- Therefore $L \ne L^R$ ✓

Betrachte den String $w = ab^pc^p$. Es gilt $|w| = 1 + 2p \ge p$ und $w \in L$, da $i=1$ und $j=k=p$, also die Bedingung $(i\ne 1\vee j=k)$ erfüllt ist.

Nach dem Pumping-Lemma kann $w = xyz$ geschrieben werden mit:
1. $|xy| \le p$
2. $|y| > 0$  
3. Für alle $n \ge 0$ gilt $xy^nz \in L$

Da $|xy| \le p$ und der String mit $a$ beginnt gefolgt von $p$ b's, besteht $xy$ aus dem $a$ und höchstens $p-1$ b's.

Da $|y| > 0$ und $y$ ein Teilstring von $xy$ ist, muss $y = b^m$ für ein $m > 0$ gelten (da wir nur ein $a$ haben und $|xy| \le p$).

Dann ist $x = a$ und $z = b^{p-m}c^p$.

Für $n = 0$ erhalten wir:
$xy^0z = ab^{p-m}c^p$

Dieser String hat $i=1$, $j=p-m$ und $k=p$. Damit er in $L$ ist, muss $(1\ne 1\vee p-m=p)$ gelten, was zu $p-m=p$ führt. Dies ist falsch, da $m > 0$.

Also ist $xy^0z \notin L$, was dem Pumping-Lemma widerspricht.

Daher ist $L$ nicht regulär.

assistant:Looking at each language to determine if $L \ne L^R$:

**Option 1:** $L(b^*a^*b)$
- $L$ consists of strings matching $b^*a^*b$ (any number of b's, any number of a's, then exactly one b)
- If $w = b^i a^j b \in L$, then $w^R = ba^jb^i$
- So $L^R = \{ba^jb^i : i,j \geq 0\}$, which matches pattern $ba^*b^*$
- Example: $ba \in L^R$ (reverse of $ab \in L$), but $ba \notin L$ (doesn't end with b)
- Therefore $L \ne L^R$ ✓

**Option 2:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:w\ne w^R\}$
- $L$ is the set of all non-palindromes
- If $w$ is a non-palindrome, then $w^R$ is also a non-palindrome
  (If $w^R$ were a palindrome: $(w^R)^R = w^R \Rightarrow w = w^R$, contradiction)
- Every non-palindrome $x$ is in $L^R$ (take $w = x^R$, which is also a non-palindrome)
- Therefore $L^R$ is also the set of all non-palindromes, so $L = L^R$ ✗

**Option 3:** $\{uavv:u,v\in\Sigma^*\}$
- $L$ consists of strings with an 'a' followed by a square (string repeated twice)
- $L^R = \{(uavv)^R : u,v \in \Sigma^*\} = \{v^Rv^Rau^R : u,v \in \Sigma^*\} = \{wwau : w,u \in \Sigma^*\}$
- $L$: strings where some 'a' has a square after it
- $L^R$: strings where some 'a' has a square before it
- Example: $baa = b \cdot a \cdot aa \in L$ (with $u=b, v=a$)
- For $baa \in L^R$: need $baa = wwau$. If $a$ is at position 1: $ww=b$ (impossible - odd length). If $a$ is at position 2: $ww=ba$ (impossible - odd length)
- So $baa \in L$ but $baa \notin L^R$
- Therefore $L \ne L^R$ ✓

Thoughts

Let's analyze each language. Here $M_w$ represents the Turing machine encoded by string $w$, and $L(M_w)$ is the language accepted by that machine.

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$
This means $|L(M_w)| = 5$ (since we need a non-negative integer and $5^2 = 25$).
Checking if a language has exactly 5 elements is undecidable by Rice's theorem (it's a non-trivial property of the language).

**Option 2:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=50\}$
For this to be true, we need $|L(M_w)|^2 = 50$, which means $|L(M_w)| = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$.
But $|L(M_w)|$ must be a non-negative integer, and $5\sqrt{2}$ is irrational.
So this language is empty - no TM can have a language with $5\sqrt{2}$ elements.
The empty language is decidable (just always reject).

**Option 3:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=100\}$
This means $|L(M_w)| = 10$ (since $10^2 = 100$).
Like option 1, checking if a language has exactly 10 elements is undecidable by Rice's theorem.

So options 1 and 3 are undecidable, option 2 is decidable (it's the empty set).

Let me prove that option 1 is undecidable using Rice's theorem.

Rice's theorem states that for any non-trivial property P of languages of Turing machines, the language $\{w : L(M_w) \text{ has property } P\}$ is undecidable.


I'll demonstrate the non-triviality of the property by showing examples of TMs with and without exactly 5 language elements. Some machines accept precisely 5 specific strings, while others have languages of different sizes. This variation proves the property is non-trivial, making the language undecidable under Rice's theorem.

A direct reduction from the halting problem would provide a more rigorous proof mechanism for this property's computational complexity.

Answer

Looking at each language where $M_w$ is the Turing machine encoded by string $w$:

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$
This requires $|L(M_w)| = 5$. Determining if a TM accepts exactly 5 strings is undecidable by Rice's theorem.

**Option 2:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=50\}$
For $|L(M_w)|^2 = 50$, we would need $|L(M_w)| = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$, which is irrational. Since $|L(M_w)|$ must be a non-negative integer, no TM can satisfy this condition. The language is empty and therefore decidable.

**Option 3:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=100\}$
This requires $|L(M_w)| = 10$. Like option 1, this is undecidable by Rice's theorem.

Thoughts

Let me analyze each language to determine if they are regular or not.

$\Sigma = \{a,b,c\}$

Option 1: $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|w|_{aba}\ne|w|_{a}\}$

This language contains all words where the number of occurrences of the substring "aba" is different from the number of occurrences of the letter "a".

Let me think about this. Let's say $|w|_{aba}$ is the number of times "aba" appears as a substring in $w$, and $|w|_a$ is the number of times "a" appears in $w$.

Consider a word like $a^n$ where $n \geq 1$. Then $|w|_a = n$ and $|w|_{aba} = 0$ (since there are no "b"s). So $|w|_{aba} \neq |w|_a$ for any $n \geq 1$.

Consider a word like $b^n$ where $n \geq 0$. Then $|w|_a = 0$ and $|w|_{aba} = 0$. So $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$, so this word is NOT in the language.

Consider a word like $(aba)^n$ where $n \geq 1$. Then $|w|_a = 2n$ and $|w|_{aba} = n$. For this to be in the language, we need $n \neq 2n$, which is true for $n \geq 1$. So $(aba)^n$ is in the language for $n \geq 1$.

Actually, let me be more careful about counting overlapping occurrences. For the word "ababa", how many times does "aba" occur? It occurs at positions 1-3 and 3-5, so twice.

The word contains three "a"s and two "aba" substrings. This confirms the complexity of counting overlapping substrings. The pattern suggests the language might involve intricate substring tracking.

Tracking substring occurrences requires careful counting, especially with potential overlaps. The language seems to demand precise substring identification.

I'll explore the pumping lemma to understand the language's structural properties. The specific word construction with $a^n (aba)^n$ reveals interesting constraints about substring relationships.

By carefully examining the word's composition, I can see a critical challenge emerging when attempting to pump the string. The specific conditions of $|xy| \leq p$ and $y$ consisting of leading "a" characters create a complex verification scenario.

The key challenge involves proving whether $xz$ maintains the language's fundamental counting requirement between "aba" and total "a" occurrences.

By comparing the lengths of $xz$ and $xy^2z$, we discover a constraint that prevents the string from remaining in the language when pumped. This suggests the language is not regular, as the pumping lemma allows us to construct a contradiction.

The key observation involves tracking the count of "a" and "aba" substrings, revealing a systematic difference in their occurrences. When encountering these substrings, the length measurements change in a predictable manner, potentially exposing a structural limitation in the language's pattern.

I'll explore how the substring counts interact to understand the underlying linguistic constraints. I see the complexity of palindrome patterns and their potential regularity. By breaking down palindromes into single characters, I realize every string can essentially be constructed from palindromic units. This means the language of concatenated palindromes is actually equivalent to the entire alphabet, which is a regular language. The key insight is that individual characters themselves are palindromes, allowing flexible reconstruction of any string.

Turning to the new language specification, I'm examining strings with $a$, $b$, and $c$ characters under specific constraints. The conditions involve either avoiding exactly one $a$ or ensuring matching $b$ and $c$ counts, with non-negative occurrences of each character type.

The language's regularity hinges on an interesting interaction between its component cases. While one subset can be recognized by a finite automaton, the other requires counting, which typically exceeds finite state machine capabilities.

The complement language reveals an intriguing boundary condition focusing on strings where exactly one $a$ appears and $b$ and $c$ counts differ.

By proving this intersection creates an unrecognizable pattern, we demonstrate the entire language cannot be regular. The contradiction emerges from the impossibility of maintaining consistent state tracking across these specific constraints.

The proof systematically dismantles potential regular language arguments through careful set analysis and contradiction.

I'll examine a strategic word construction to expose the language's non-regular nature, focusing on specific substring frequency relationships.

By carefully analyzing the pumping lemma constraints, I can break down the word's structure and explore how repeated pumping might violate language membership. The key is understanding how substring occurrences change when manipulating the word's components.

I'll continue investigating the specific transformations of $xz$ to determine whether it remains in the language, tracking the critical substring frequencies during this process.

The count of "a" characters and the $aba$ substring provide crucial insights into potential language violations. By systematically examining different pumping iterations, I can systematically test the language's properties.

For $xy^2z$, the length calculations reveal interesting constraints. The $a$ count increases to $(p+k) + 1 + p$, while maintaining a single $aba$ occurrence. The condition $k \neq 0$ ensures the string remains valid.

I'm exploring systematic approaches to understand the language's structure, potentially investigating whether regularity can be definitively established through careful word selection and length analysis.

The key challenge involves tracking substring occurrences, particularly with potential overlapping patterns. A finite automaton might provide insights into managing these complex length relationships.

I'm focusing on carefully monitoring character counts, especially for the tricky "aba" substring. The critical consideration is how overlapping patterns impact counting mechanisms.

The fundamental problem requires sophisticated tracking of substring frequencies while maintaining precise state information about character sequences.

Each "aba" pattern creates complex counting interactions, where individual characters can simultaneously contribute to multiple pattern measurements. Overlapping sequences demand nuanced computational strategies to accurately capture substring occurrences.

Examining specific examples reveals a consistent pattern: the number of "a" characters always exceeds or equals the count of "aba" patterns, with a consistent difference of 1.

The relationship between total "a" characters and "aba" patterns suggests an underlying structural constraint in string composition that maintains this precise mathematical relationship.

I'm exploring a potential proof by analyzing how "aba" substrings inherently contribute to "a" character counts, noting each pattern contributes at least one unique "a" to the total.

In the "ababa" example, overlapping patterns reveal a nuanced counting strategy. The first "aba" pattern provides two "a"s, with subsequent patterns adding at least one more, suggesting a general relationship between pattern count and "a" character frequency.

My reasoning suggests that for $k$ overlapping "aba" patterns, we'll have at least $k+1$ "a"s, which strengthens the argument about the relationship between substring occurrences.

The analysis becomes more complex when considering cases with zero "aba" patterns, where the number of "a"s becomes less constrained.

The language essentially captures strings where the count of "a"s differs from "aba" patterns, excluding the trivial case of empty strings.

Strings without "a"s form a specific subset, automatically avoiding "aba" patterns by their composition of alternative characters.

The language's complement is regular, which implies the original language is also regular through standard closure properties.

I'm carefully examining the relationship between "a" and "aba" occurrences, checking my previous reasoning about their potential equality.

I've identified a pattern where the number of "a" characters seems to consistently exceed "aba" occurrences by one, with specific examples demonstrating this relationship across different word structures.

The key observation is that when "aba" patterns exist in a word, the count of "a" characters will always be strictly greater than the count of "aba" patterns. This suggests a fundamental relationship between substring and character frequency.

The inequality holds true across multiple word configurations, indicating a robust mathematical property about the interaction between "a" and "aba" in string representations.

The language of words where "a" count differs from "aba" pattern count is precisely the set of strings containing at least one "a", which can be recognized by a straightforward finite automaton.

I can confirm that every string consists of single-character palindromes, effectively making this language equivalent to the entire alphabet's possible strings. This means the language covers all possible combinations, rendering it regular.

The key observation is that single characters are inherently palindromic, allowing any string to be decomposed into palindromic components. I'll break down the language into two parts, $L_1$ and $L_2$. The first part allows any number of "a"s except exactly one, which can be recognized by a finite automaton. The second part requires matching "b"s and "c"s, a characteristic of context-free languages.

The union of these languages reveals an interesting complexity. Since $L_2$ is non-regular, the entire language $L$ inherits this non-regularity.

Examining the complement provides insight into the language's structure. By intersecting the complements of $L_1$ and $L_2$, we're exploring the boundary conditions of the language's membership.

The subset $\{ab^jc^k : j \neq k, j,k \geq 0\}$ reveals a critical non-regularity. This suggests that if the original language were regular, its complement would also be regular, but the presence of this non-regular subset challenges that assumption.

The careful analysis indicates potential complexity in determining the language's regularity through its complement's properties.

By examining the intersection $L \cap ab^*c^*$, which equals $\{ab^jc^j : j \geq 0\}$, we can definitively demonstrate the language's non-regularity. The intersection's structure proves that the language cannot be regular.

This means Option 3 stands out as the non-regular language among the given options. The proof technique reveals its fundamental complexity.

Answer

Looking at each language:

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|w|_{aba}\ne|w|_{a}\}$

Let me analyze when $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$. For any string $w$, we have $|w|_a \geq |w|_{aba}$ because:
- When $|w|_{aba} = 0$: no "aba" patterns exist, so $|w|_a \geq 0 = |w|_{aba}$
- When $|w|_{aba} > 0$: each "aba" pattern contributes at least 2 "a"s to $|w|_a$, and even with overlapping patterns, we get $|w|_a > |w|_{aba}$

Equality $|w|_a = |w|_{aba}$ occurs only when both equal 0, which happens exactly when $w \in \{b,c\}^*$.

Therefore, the language equals $\Sigma^* \setminus \{b,c\}^*$, which is regular.

**Option 2:** $\big(\{w\in\Sigma^*:w=w^R\}\big)^*$

Every string can be written as a concatenation of single characters, and each single character is a palindrome. Therefore:
$$\big(\{w\in\Sigma^*:w=w^R\}\big)^* = \Sigma^*$$
This is regular.

**Option 3:** $\{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$

Let me show this is not regular using closure properties.

Angenommen $L$ ist regulär. Da reguläre Sprachen unter Durchschnitt abgeschlossen sind und $ab^*c^*$ regulär ist, wäre auch $L \cap ab^*c^*$ regulär.

Da $1 \neq 1$ falsch ist, reduziert sich die Bedingung zu $j = k$:
$$L \cap ab^*c^* = \{ab^jc^j : j \geq 0\}$$

Diese Sprache ist jedoch nicht regulär. Dies kann mit dem Pumping-Lemma gezeigt werden:

Sei $p$ die Pumping-Länge und betrachte das Wort $w = ab^pc^p \in L \cap ab^*c^*$.
Nach dem Pumping-Lemma existiert eine Zerlegung $w = xyz$ mit $|xy| \leq p$, $|y| > 0$, sodass $xy^iz \in L \cap ab^*c^*$ für alle $i \geq 0$.

Da $|xy| \leq p$ und $w$ mit $a$ beginnt, gefolgt von $p$ Kopien von $b$, muss $y = b^k$ für ein $k > 0$ sein.

Dann ist $xy^0z = ab^{p-k}c^p$. Für dieses Wort gilt $j = p-k \neq p = k$, also ist $xy^0z \notin L \cap ab^*c^*$.

Dies ist ein Widerspruch, also ist $L \cap ab^*c^*$ nicht regulär.

assistant:Looking at each language:

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|w|_{aba}\ne|w|_{a}\}$

Let me analyze when $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$. For any string $w$, we have $|w|_a \geq |w|_{aba}$ because:
- When $|w|_{aba} = 0$: no "aba" patterns exist, so $|w|_a \geq 0 = |w|_{aba}$
- When $|w|_{aba} > 0$: each "aba" pattern contributes at least 2 "a"s to $|w|_a$, and even with overlapping patterns, we get $|w|_a > |w|_{aba}$

Equality $|w|_a = |w|_{aba}$ occurs only when both equal 0, which happens exactly when $w \in \{b,c\}^*$.

Therefore, the language equals $\Sigma^* \setminus \{b,c\}^*$, which is regular.

**Option 2:** $\big(\{w\in\Sigma^*:w=w^R\}\big)^*$

Every string can be written as a concatenation of single characters, and each single character is a palindrome. Therefore:
$$\big(\{w\in\Sigma^*:w=w^R\}\big)^* = \Sigma^*$$
This is regular.

**Option 3:** $\{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$

Beweis für Sprache 3:

Sei $L = \{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$.

Angenommen $L$ ist regulär. Da reguläre Sprachen unter Durchschnitt abgeschlossen sind und $ab^*c^*$ regulär ist, wäre auch $L \cap ab^*c^*$ regulär.

Berechnen wir $L \cap ab^*c^*$:
$$L \cap ab^*c^* = \{ab^jc^k : (1 \neq 1 \vee j = k) \wedge j,k \geq 0\}$$

Da $1 \neq 1$ falsch ist, reduziert sich die Bedingung zu $j = k$:
$$L \cap ab^*c^* = \{ab^jc^j : j \geq 0\}$$

Diese Sprache ist jedoch nicht regulär. Dies kann mit dem Pumping-Lemma gezeigt werden:

Sei $p$ die Pumping-Länge und betrachte das Wort $w = ab^pc^p \in L \cap ab^*c^*$.
Nach dem Pumping-Lemma existiert eine Zerlegung $w = xyz$ mit $|xy| \leq p$, $|y| > 0$, sodass $xy^iz \in L \cap ab^*c^*$ für alle $i \geq 0$.

Da $|xy| \leq p$ und $w$ mit $a$ beginnt, gefolgt von $p$ Kopien von $b$, muss $y = b^k$ für ein $k > 0$ sein.

Dann ist $xy^0z = ab^{p-k}c^p$. Für dieses Wort gilt $j = p-k \neq p = k$, also ist $xy^0z \notin L \cap ab^*c^*$.

Dies ist ein Widerspruch, also ist $L \cap ab^*c^*$ nicht regulär.

Da der Durchschnitt einer regulären Sprache mit einer regulären Sprache regulär sein muss, kann $L$ nicht regulär sein.

Thoughts

Let me analyze each language to see if $L = L^R$.

**Option 1:** $L(b^*a^*b) = \{w \in \Sigma^* : w \text{ ends with } b^*a^*b\}$

Actually, let me be more careful. $L(b^*a^*b)$ means the language generated by the regular expression $b^*a^*b$. So:
$L = \{b^i a^j b : i,j \geq 0\}$

Now let's find $L^R$:
$L^R = \{(b^i a^j b)^R : i,j \geq 0\} = \{b a^j b^i : i,j \geq 0\}$

Are these the same? Let's check:
- $L$ contains strings of the form $b^i a^j b$ (zero or more b's, then zero or more a's, then exactly one b)
- $L^R$ contains strings of the form $b a^j b^i$ (exactly one b, then zero or more a's, then zero or more b's)

These are different! For example, $bb \in L$ (take $i=1, j=0$), but $bb \notin L^R$ because strings in $L^R$ must start with exactly one $b$ followed by some $a$'s, then some $b$'s. But $bb$ has no $a$'s in the middle.

Wait, let me double-check this. If $bb \in L$, then we need $bb = b^i a^j b$ for some $i,j \geq 0$. This means $i=1, j=0$, so $bb = b^1 a^0 b = bb$. Yes, that works.

Now is $bb \in L^R$? For $bb$ to be in $L^R$, we need $bb = b a^j b^i$ for some $i,j \geq 0$.

I can verify that $bb$ satisfies the $L^R$ conditions by setting $j=0$ and $i=1$. The first $b$ matches the requirement, and the remaining $b$ works perfectly.

Hmm, let me reconsider. Actually, let me try a different example.

Consider $bab \in L$ (take $i=1, j=1$):

I check if $bab$ belongs to $L^R$ by decomposing it as $b a^j b^i$. The first $b$ matches immediately. Then I need to ensure $ab$ fits the pattern. With $j=1$ and $i=1$, the decomposition works exactly. The $a$ and $b$ align precisely, confirming $bab$ is in $L^R$.

Let me try $baab \in L$ (take $i=1, j=2$: $b^1 a^2 b = baab$). I verify $baab$ in $L^R$ similarly. With $j=2$ and $i=1$, the decomposition matches perfectly. $baab$ also belongs to $L^R$.

I'm considering exploring an example that reveals differences between $L$ and $L^R$.

Analyzing the sets reveals they're structurally equivalent. The key distinction is the position of the single $b$, but the overall pattern remains consistent.

The language allows flexible arrangements of $b$ and $a$ symbols, with a constraint on exactly one $b$ at a specific position. This symmetry suggests the sets might actually represent the same language.

I'm noticing a subtle pattern emerging about string composition and placement of specific symbols.

The key difference lies in the precise positioning of the single $b$ symbol - either at the end or the beginning of the string, which fundamentally changes the language's structure.

For $aab$, the reversal requirement means it cannot belong to $L^R$ since it lacks the initial $b$. This demonstrates the languages are distinct.

The second option explores non-palindromes, revealing an intriguing symmetry where reversing a non-palindrome creates another non-palindrome.

By examining the reversal properties, we discover that for any non-palindromic string, its reverse also remains non-palindromic. This creates a fascinating reciprocal relationship between the original language and its reversal.

The third option introduces a more complex language structure involving repeated substrings after an $a$.

When we reverse this language, we find an intriguing transformation where the order of elements shifts, maintaining the core pattern of repeated substrings but with reversed components.

The key observation involves how reversing affects the string structure, particularly the positioning of $a$ and the repeated substring $v$.

In $L$, the repeated substring appears after $a$, while in $L^R$, the repeated substring appears before $a$. This fundamental difference means the languages are not equivalent.

A concrete example like $aabb$ reveals the distinct characteristics of these languages under reversal.

Attempting to decompose $aabb$ into $uavv$ shows the complexity. When trying different $u$ values, no valid $v$ exists that satisfies the repeated substring requirement, highlighting the structural differences between $L$ and $L^R$.

Exploring the membership of $aabb$ in $L^R$ requires carefully examining possible prefix decompositions, revealing the intricate constraints on string repetition and structure.

By considering $\epsilon$ as the repeated prefix, we can show $aabb$ belongs to $L^R$ through a precise decomposition where $w = \epsilon$, $u = abb$, confirming the string satisfies the required pattern.

This validates $aabb$ as a member of both $L$ and $L^R$, setting the stage for investigating more complex string examples like $abab$.

Attempting to decompose $abab$ into $uavv$ reveals multiple challenging scenarios where standard prefix-repetition strategies fail, particularly when trying different prefix lengths and considering empty or non-empty repeated substrings.

By exploring $abab$ in the reverse language $L^R$, I find a valid decomposition where $w = \epsilon$ and $u = bab$, demonstrating that $abab$ belongs to $L^R$ but not $L$. This asymmetry conclusively proves $L \neq L^R$.

Investigating $abab$'s membership in $L$ requires examining potential $u$ positions. Each case reveals fundamental constraints preventing $abab$ from satisfying $L$'s definition.

Attempting different $u$ placements systematically shows structural impossibilities. The odd-length constraints and mismatched starting characters make $abab$'s inclusion unachievable.

Consequently, $abab$ definitively does not belong to $L$, with each decomposition attempt failing due to length or character misalignments. I'm exploring the relationship between language $L$ and its reverse $L^R$. By examining different word positions and transformations, I've found that $abab$ is in $L^R$ but not in $L$. This suggests the languages are not equivalent. I'm now seeking a word in $L$ that is not in $L^R$ to definitively prove the languages differ.

Carefully analyzing $baab$, I'm checking if it can be decomposed into $uavv$ to understand its membership in $L^R$. The decomposition attempts reveal subtle constraints that prevent straightforward mapping between the original and reversed representations.

By exploring different positions for $u$ and $a$, I've systematically ruled out potential transformations. The key challenge is finding a valid $v$ that satisfies the required conditions, which proves impossible for this specific string.

The investigation suggests the decomposition strategy won't work for $baab$, indicating the string might not belong to the language $L^R$.

I'll now examine $abb$ more closely, finding a successful decomposition that works for both $L$ and $L^R$ by carefully selecting $v$ and $u$.

For $bba$, I explore possible prefix decompositions to satisfy membership in $L^R$. The $a$ at position 2 complicates finding a valid $ww$ prefix. Checking $\epsilon$ and $b$ as potential $w$ values reveals no consistent solution that maintains the $a$ at position 2.

The odd length of potential prefixes prevents a straightforward symmetrical decomposition, blocking a direct path to proving $bba \in L^R$. I continue exploring the conditions for $aba$ in $L$ and $L^R$. If $v = \epsilon$, then $vv = \epsilon$ and $avv = a$, which satisfies the language requirements.

For $L^R$, I examine possible positions of $a$ and find two scenarios. When $a$ is at position 0, $aba = \epsilon \epsilon a ba$ works. When $a$ is at position 2, I investigate prefix possibilities, noting constraints around $ww$ matching.

I'm now shifting focus to $aabb$ as a potential counterexample, wanting to verify its membership in $L$ and $L^R$ by carefully checking decomposition conditions.

The $a$ placement reveals two scenarios: either at position 0 or 1. When positioned at 0, the decomposition works smoothly. At position 1, the $ww$ prefix requirement becomes problematic due to the odd length constraint.

This suggests $aabb$ belongs to both $L$ and $L^R$, maintaining my ongoing search for a word exclusively in one language.

Investigating $aaabb$ requires exploring various decompositions. I systematically test different $u$ and $v$ values, discovering that when $u = aa$ and $v = b$, the word satisfies $L$'s membership criteria. The reverse language membership demands careful examination of $a$ positions.

Checking $a$ placements reveals two valid decompositions: at positions 0 and 2, where prefix conditions are met. This suggests $aaabb$ belongs to both $L$ and $L^R$.

I'm now seeking a counterexample - a string in $L$ but not $L^R$, focusing on the language's structural constraints.

The goal is finding a string with a specific $a$ placement where:
1. The suffix after $a$ repeats
2. The prefix before $a$ does not repeat

Exploring $bababaa$ as a potential candidate, examining each $a$ position's properties to determine language membership.

For $L$, the last $a$ at position 6 with an empty suffix works perfectly. This reveals a critical insight about string repetition conditions.

For $L^R$, I'll continue analyzing the prefix conditions at each $a$ position to verify membership.

At position 1, the prefix $b$ fails due to odd length. Position 3's $bab$ prefix also fails. The prefix at position 5 with $babab$ similarly cannot satisfy the repetition requirement. At position 6, the $bababa$ prefix demands a specific $w$ of length 3, but $babbab$ doesn't match.

This systematic investigation proves $bababaa$ belongs to $L$ but not $L^R$, highlighting the asymmetric nature of the language constraints.

The investigation reveals two key counterexamples demonstrating the language's non-palindromic properties, with $bababaa$ serving as a critical witness to the language's asymmetry.

I'm carefully examining potential witnesses for $L^R$, exploring different values of $u$ and $v$ to understand the language's structure. The current analysis shows challenges in constructing a valid palindromic representation, particularly when attempting to match $aab$ with $uavv$ transformations.

The investigation reveals subtle constraints around string lengths and character compositions that prevent straightforward membership verification. Specifically, the attempts to construct $v$ that satisfies the palindrome condition consistently fail, indicating deeper complexity in the language's definition.

By carefully tracing the character sequence, we discover $aab$ can indeed belong to $L$ under precise conditions involving zero $b$ prefixes and two $a$ characters. However, the reversed language $L^R$ categorically excludes this string due to its initial character mismatch.

Answer

Looking at each language:

**Option 1:** $L(b^*a^*b) = \{b^i a^j b : i,j \geq 0\}$

$L^R = \{(b^i a^j b)^R : i,j \geq 0\} = \{b a^j b^i : i,j \geq 0\}$

These are different. For example:
- $aab \in L$ (with $i=0, j=2$: $aab = b^0 a^2 b = a^2 b$)
- $aab \notin L^R$ (strings in $L^R$ must start with $b$, but $aab$ starts with $a$)

**Option 2:** $L = \{w\in\Sigma^*:w\ne w^R\}$ (non-palindromes)

For any string $w$: $w \neq w^R$ if and only if $w^R \neq (w^R)^R = w$
This means $w \in L$ if and only if $w^R \in L$
Therefore $L^R = L$.

**Option 3:** $L = \{uavv:u,v\in\Sigma^*\}$

$L^R = \{(uavv)^R : u,v \in \Sigma^*\} = \{v^Rv^Rau^R : u,v \in \Sigma^*\} = \{wwau' : w,u' \in \Sigma^*\}$

These are different. For example:
- $bababaa \in L$ (with $u = bababa, v = \epsilon$: the string ends with $a$ followed by $\epsilon\epsilon = \epsilon$)
- $bababaa \notin L^R$ (we need some prefix to be of the form $ww$, but all prefixes $b$, $bab$, $babab$, $bababa$ have odd length, and the only even-length prefix $bababa$ cannot be written as $ww$ since $ww = babbab \neq bababa$ when $w = bab$)

Thoughts

Let me think about these languages. We have $\Sigma = \{0,1\}$, and $M_w$ denotes the Turing machine encoded by string $w$. So $L(M_w)$ is the language accepted by the Turing machine encoded by $w$.

The languages are:
1. $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$ - strings $w$ such that $|L(M_w)| = 5$
2. $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=50\}$ - strings $w$ such that $|L(M_w)|^2 = 50$, so $|L(M_w)| = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$, which is not an integer. So this language is empty.
3. $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=100\}$ - strings $w$ such that $|L(M_w)| = 10$

Wait, let me be more careful about language 2. We need $|L(M_w)|^2 = 50$. This means $|L(M_w)| = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$, which is not an integer. Since the cardinality of a language is always a non-negative integer (or infinity), this condition can never be satisfied. So language 2 is the empty set, which is decidable.

For languages 1 and 3, these are asking whether a Turing machine accepts exactly 5 words or exactly 10 words, respectively. These are instances of the general problem of determining whether $|L(M)| = k$ for some fixed $k$.

By Rice's theorem, any non-trivial property of the language accepted by a Turing machine is undecidable. 

I recognize this property involves language cardinality. Some Turing machines can indeed accept exactly $k$ elements, while others cannot. This means checking for a specific number of accepted strings is a non-trivial language property. Consequently, languages 1 and 3 are undecidable, as they require determining a specific characteristic of the machine's accepted language.

I'll continue exploring the reduction from the halting problem, focusing on constructing a Turing machine $M'$ that connects the halting problem to language cardinality. The goal is to create a machine where the number of accepted strings depends on whether the original machine $M$ halts on input $x$.

The current construction involves carefully designing $M'$ to have a specific language size based on the halting behavior of $M$. I'm refining the approach to ensure a precise mapping between halting and language cardinality.

The key challenge is creating a machine that definitively changes its accepted language size based on the halting condition, which requires a nuanced simulation strategy.

By constructing $M'$ with fixed strings and a conditional acceptance based on $M$'s halting, I've developed a reduction that proves language 1's undecidability through a clever encoding of the halting problem.

The approach reveals language 2 is decidable as an empty set, while language 3 remains undecidable through a parallel reduction strategy similar to language 1's proof.

Answer

Looking at each language:

**Option 1:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$
This means $|L(M_w)| = 5$. This is undecidable.

**Option 2:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=50\}$ 
This means $|L(M_w)| = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$, which is not an integer. Since the cardinality of a language is always a non-negative integer or infinity, this condition can never be satisfied. This language is empty, hence decidable.

**Option 3:** $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=100\}$
This means $|L(M_w)| = 10$. This is undecidable.

Thoughts

First, I need to determine which of these languages are not regular. The options are:

1. {w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a} }

2. ({w ∈ Σ* : w = w^R })*

3. {a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0}

Σ is {a,b,c}.

I need to check each one for regularity.

Starting with option 1: {w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a} }

|w|_{aba} means the number of occurrences of the substring "aba" in w, and |w|_{a} is the number of 'a's.

This seems tricky. I need to see if this language is regular or not.

If a language is regular, it should be possible to recognize it with a finite automaton. But counting the number of substrings "aba" and comparing it to the number of 'a's might require more than finite memory.

I recall that languages involving counting or comparisons often aren't regular if they require unbounded counting.

For example, consider words where the number of "aba" is not equal to the number of 'a's. This might not be regular because it could involve context-free or more complex properties.

I should think about the pumping lemma or other techniques.

Perhaps I can find a counterexample or use closure properties.

Another thought: the language where |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} might be easier to consider, but since we have inequality, it might be the complement, but if the equality is not regular, the inequality might not be regular either.

But regularity is closed under complement, so if L is regular, complement is regular. So if {w: |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}} is not regular, then {w: |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a}} is also not regular.

So I should focus on whether {w: |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}} is regular.

Now, is this regular? Probably not, because it requires counting substrings and characters, which might need a pushdown automaton or more.

For instance, consider words that are all 'a's. If w = a^n, then |w|_{aba} = 0 for n < 3, and for n ≥ 3, it might be something like floor((n-2)/ something), but actually, for a string of all 'a's, "aba" cannot occur because there's no 'b', so |w|_{aba} = 0, and |w|_{a} = n, so they are equal only if n=0, but for n>0, they are not equal. But that's for a specific case.

In general, this seems complicated. I should use the pumping lemma.

Suppose L = {w: |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}} is regular. Then for a sufficiently long string, we can pump it and show that the property doesn't hold.

But it might be messy.

I recall that languages with substring counts are often not regular. For example, {w: |w|_{00} = |w|_{1}} for binary alphabet is not regular, I think.

Similarly here.

So probably option 1 is not regular.

Now option 2: ({w ∈ Σ* : w = w^R })*

w = w^R means w is a palindrome.

The set of all palindromes over Σ is not regular because it requires remembering the sequence of characters to check symmetry, which needs a stack.

But here, it's the Kleene star of the set of palindromes. So it's all strings that are concatenations of palindromes.

Is this regular? Probably not, because even though Kleene star of a regular language is regular, but the set of palindromes is not regular, so its Kleene star might not be regular.

The Kleene star of a non-regular language can be regular or not. For example, if L is not regular, L* might be regular if L contains the empty string or something, but in this case, the set of palindromes includes ε, since ε is a palindrome.

But still, L* for a non-regular L can be regular. For instance, if L is a non-regular language that is a subset of a regular language, but L* might be larger.

I need to check if the Kleene star of palindromes is regular.

What is ({w: w=w^R})*? It's all strings that can be partitioned into palindromic substrings.

Is this regular? I think not, because determining if a string can be partitioned into palindromes is not trivial; it might require dynamic programming or something, so probably not regular.

But actually, for finite alphabets, the language of all strings that are concatenations of palindromes might be regular? No, because any string can be written as a concatenation of single characters, and single characters are palindromes, so actually, every string is a concatenation of palindromes (since each character is a palindrome, and ε is also a palindrome, but we can use single characters).

Let's see: any string w can be written as a sequence of its characters, each of which is a palindrome (since a single character is a palindrome). Therefore, every string over Σ is in ({w: w=w^R})*, because we can break it into single characters, each of which is a palindrome.

Is that true? For example, take w = ab. Is ab a concatenation of palindromes? Yes, because a is a palindrome, b is a palindrome, so ab = a · b, both palindromes.

Similarly, any string: each character is a palindrome, so by breaking into characters, every string is in the Kleene star.

But wait, the Kleene star includes the empty string and concatenations of one or more palindromes.

Since each single character is a palindrome, and ε is a palindrome, indeed, every string is a concatenation of palindromes.

Therefore, ({w: w=w^R})* = Σ*, which is regular.

Σ* is regular.

So for option 2, it is actually regular, because it equals Σ*.

Is that correct? Let me confirm.

A string is a palindrome if it reads the same forwards and backwards. Single characters: yes, they are palindromes. Empty string is a palindrome.

So for any string w, we can write it as the concatenation of its individual characters, each of which is a palindrome. Therefore, w is in the Kleene star of palindromes.

Thus, ({w: w=w^R})* = Σ*, which is regular.

So option 2 is regular, so it should not be checked as not regular.

Now option 3: {a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0}

This is a language over {a,b,c}, with conditions on the exponents.

We can rewrite the condition: (i ≠ 1 or j = k)

Which is equivalent to: if i = 1, then j must equal k; otherwise, if i ≠ 1, no constraint on j and k except j,k ≥0.

So the language includes:

- All strings where i ≠ 1, so for example, i=0, or i≥2, with any j,k.

- And strings where i=1 and j=k.

Now, is this regular? Probably not, because it involves comparing j and k when i=1, which might require counting.

But let's see if we can use pumping lemma or something.

First, note that the language might be close to regular, but the condition j=k when i=1 might break it.

Consider the subset where i=1: {a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0}, which is not regular, because it's like {b^j c^j}.

But the whole language includes more: when i≠1, it includes all a^i b^j c^k for i≠1, which is regular? Well, the set of all strings with i≠1 is regular because it's the complement of strings with exactly one 'a', but wait, no.

The language L = {a^i b^j c^k : i ≠ 1 or j = k}

We can think of it as the union of two sets: A = {a^i b^j c^k : i ≠ 1} and B = {a^i b^j c^k : j = k}

But B is not regular, and A is regular? Is A regular?

A = {a^i b^j c^k : i ≠ 1} = {strings that do not have exactly one 'a'} but with the form a^i b^j c^k, but actually, the language is restricted to strings that are in a*b*c*, so we need to consider only strings with a's then b's then c's.

So L consists of strings in a*b*c* that satisfy (i≠1 or j=k).

The set of all strings in a*b*c* is regular, but with conditions.

Now, A = {a^i b^j c^k : i ≠ 1} ∩ a*b*c*

This is regular because it's the set of strings in a*b*c* where the number of a's is not 1, which can be recognized by a DFA that checks if the count of a's is 0 or at least 2, but since it's a*b*c*, we can have a DFA with states for the number of a's, but since it's finite memory, we can have states for whether we have seen no a, one a, or more than one a, and similarly for b and c, but for the condition i≠1, it's possible.

Specifically, the language a*b*c* is regular, and the subset where the number of a's is not 1 is also regular because it's defined by a finite condition on the prefix.

For example, a DFA can have states based on how many a's have been seen: after reading a's, if we have seen 0 a's, or 1 a, or more than 1 a, and then proceed to read b's and c's. Since we only care about whether i=1 or not, we can have a state that remembers if we have exactly one a or not.

So A is regular.

B = {a^i b^j c^k : j = k} ∩ a*b*c*

This is not regular; it's context-free but not regular, because it requires counting b's and c's.

Now L = A ∪ B.

Since A is regular, and B is not regular, is L regular? Not necessarily, because union of regular and non-regular could be regular if the non-regular part is contained in the regular part, but here, B is not subset of A, because for example, a b^j c^j with j≥0, when i=1, which is not in A since A requires i≠1, so B contains strings not in A.

Therefore, L = A ∪ B, and since B is not regular, and A is regular, if L were regular, then B = L \ A would be regular, because regular languages are closed under difference.

L \ A = (A ∪ B) \ A = B \ (A ∩ B)

But A ∩ B is the set where i≠1 and j=k, which is part of B.

But B \ (A ∩ B) = {a^i b^j c^k : j=k and i=1}, because if i≠1 and j=k, it's in A∩B, so B minus that is exactly when i=1 and j=k.

So L \ A = {a^1 b^j c^j : j ≥ 0}

Which is not regular, as it's isomorphic to {b^j c^j}.

Therefore, if L were regular, then L \ A would be regular, but it's not, so L cannot be regular.

Thus, option 3 is not regular.

Now, back to option 1: I need to check if it's regular or not.

Language L1 = {w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a} }

As I thought earlier, if I can show that {w: |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}} is not regular, then by complement, L1 is not regular.

So let me denote M = {w: |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}}

Is M regular? Probably not.

I can use the pumping lemma.

Assume M is regular. Let p be the pumping length.

Consider the string s = a^m for some m large enough.

But for s = a^m, |s|_{aba} = 0 since no 'b', and |s|_{a} = m, so for m ≠ 0, |s|_{aba} ≠ |s|_{a}, so s not in M. So pumping might not work directly.

I need a string where the counts are equal.

For example, consider strings that contain "aba" multiple times.

Suppose I have a string with many "aba" substrings.

Each "aba" contains two 'a's? No, "aba" has two 'a's and one 'b'.

|w|_{aba} is the number of occurrences of the substring "aba", which might overlap.

For example, in "ababa", how many "aba"? positions: from index 1 to 3: "aba", and from index 2 to 4: "aba" if we consider overlapping, so |w|_{aba} = 2 for "ababa", and |w|_{a} = 3, so not equal.

To have |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}, it might be tricky.

Perhaps when w has no 'a', but |w|_{a} =0, and |w|_{aba}=0, so equal, so ε is in M.

Or when w has only 'a's, but for n>0, |w|_{aba}=0 ≠ n, so not in M.

But for strings with 'b' and 'c', it might be possible.

Perhaps I can consider a string where the number of "aba" is equal to the number of 'a's.

But each "aba" contains two 'a's, so if |w|_{aba} = k, then there are at least 2k 'a's, but |w|_{a} could be more, so for them to be equal, |w|_{a} must equal k, but since each "aba" has two 'a's, if |w|_{aba} = k, then |w|_{a} ≥ 2k, so for |w|_{a} = k, it must be that k=0, so only when there are no 'a's or no "aba", but if there are 'a's, |w|_{a} >0, and if there is "aba", |w|_{aba} >0, but |w|_{a} ≥ 2 |w|_{aba} if all 'a's are part of "aba", but not necessarily, because 'a's can be alone.

For example, if w has some "aba" and some isolated 'a's, then |w|_{a} could be greater than 2|w|_{aba}.

But for |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}, since |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} always? No, because |w|_{aba} could be large if there are overlapping, but |w|_{a} is the number of characters, while |w|_{aba} is number of substrings.

In fact, for any w, |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba}, because each occurrence of "aba" requires at least one 'a', but actually, each "aba" requires two 'a's, so |w|_{a} ≥ 2 |w|_{aba} if we consider minimal, but due to overlapping, it could be less, but no, each "aba" substring contains two 'a's, so the number of 'a's is at least twice the number of non-overlapping "aba", but with overlapping, it might be less, but still, since each "aba" instance has two 'a's, the total number of 'a's is at least the number of "aba" substrings times something, but actually, since substrings can share 'a's, for example, in "ababa", there are two "aba" sharing the middle 'a', so |w|_{a} = 3, |w|_{aba} = 2, so |w|_{a} > |w|_{aba}.

In general, for any string, |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba}, because each occurrence of "aba" contributes at least one 'a' that is not shared, but no, it's possible that |w|_{a} < |w|_{aba}? No, because each "aba" contains at least one 'a', so |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} is always true? No, each "aba" contains two 'a's, so |w|_{a} ≥ 2 |w|_{aba}? Not necessarily, because of sharing.

In "ababa", |w|_{a} = 3, |w|_{aba} = 2, so 3 ≥ 2, but not necessarily ≥ 4.

But |w|_{a} is always at least |w|_{aba}, since each "aba" has at least one 'a', but actually, each "aba" has two 'a's, so |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} is true, but |w|_{a} could be equal to |w|_{aba} only if each "aba" has exactly one 'a', which is impossible because "aba" has two 'a's.

"aba" has two 'a's, so for each occurrence of "aba", it contains two 'a's, so the number of 'a's is at least twice the number of non-overlapping "aba", but with overlapping, it can be less than twice, but still, |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} because each "aba" instance corresponds to at least one 'a' (the first or last), but actually, since it's a substring, it must have two 'a's, so |w|_{a} ≥ 2 |w|_{aba} if no sharing, but with sharing, |w|_{a} could be less than 2 |w|_{aba}, but still, since each "aba" requires two 'a's, and 'a's can be shared, but the total number of 'a's must be at least the number of "aba" substrings, because each "aba" has at least one 'a' that is unique? No, in the string "aaa", if we consider substrings, "aaa" has how many "aba"? None, because no 'b'. So |w|_{aba} =0, |w|_{a}=3.

But if I have a string with multiple "aba", like "abababa", let's calculate.

w = "abababa", characters: a,b,a,b,a,b,a so |w|_{a} =4, |w|_{b}=3.

Now, occurrences of "aba": from index 1-3: aba, index 3-5: aba? indices: 1:a,2:b,3:a,4:b,5:a,6:b,7:a so substrings: from 1 to 3: a,b,a which is aba, from 3 to 5: a,b,a which is aba, from 5 to 7: a,b,a which is aba? but from 5 to 7: position 5:a,6:b,7:a so yes, "aba". So |w|_{aba} =3.

And |w|_{a} =4, so 4 > 3.

Is there a string where |w|_{aba} > |w|_{a}? No, because each "aba" contains two 'a's, so |w|_{a} must be at least 2 |w|_{aba} if no overlap, but with overlap, |w|_{a} can be less than 2 |w|_{aba}, but still, since each "aba" requires two 'a's, and 'a's are characters, the number of 'a's cannot be less than the number of "aba" substrings, because each "aba" substring consists of two 'a's and one 'b', so it contains two 'a's, so |w|_{a} ≥ 2 |w|_{aba}? No, because the 'a's are shared.

In the example above, |w|_{a} =4, |w|_{aba}=3, so 4 < 2*3=6, so it is possible that |w|_{a} < 2 |w|_{aba}.

But |w|_{a} must be at least |w|_{aba}, because each "aba" substring has at least one 'a', but actually, it has two, so certainly |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba}.

In fact, |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} always, since each occurrence of "aba" contributes at least one to the count of 'a's, but since it's a substring, the 'a's are already counted, so the inequality is |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} because |w|_{aba} is the number of times "aba" appears, and each appearance requires two 'a's, but those 'a's are part of the string, so the total number of 'a's is at least the number of "aba" appearances, but actually, it's at least twice, but no, because of sharing, it can be less than twice.

But for the equality |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}, since |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba} always, equality holds only if |w|_{a} = |w|_{aba}, but since each "aba" has two 'a's, if |w|_{aba} >0, then |w|_{a} ≥ 2 >1 ≥ |w|_{aba} if |w|_{aba} ≥1, but |w|_{a} could be equal to |w|_{aba} only if |w|_{aba} =0 and |w|_{a}=0, or if |w|_{aba} =0 and |w|_{a}=0, or if there are no 'a's, but if there are 'a's, |w|_{a} >0, and if there are "aba", |w|_{aba} >0, but |w|_{a} ≥ |w|_{aba}, but for equality, it must be that |w|_{a} = |w|_{aba}, but since each "aba" contains two 'a's, if |w|_{aba} =k >0, then |w|_{a} ≥ 2k > k if k≥1, so |w|_{a} > |w|_{aba} if |w|_{aba} ≥1.

Therefore, the only way |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} is if both are 0, i.e., w contains no 'a' and no "aba". But if w contains no 'a', then |w|_{a}=0, and since no 'a', there can be no "aba", so |w|_{aba}=0, so equality holds.

If w contains 'a' but no "aba", then |w|_{a} >0 and |w|_{aba}=0, so not equal.

If w contains "aba", then |w|_{a} >0 and |w|_{aba} >0, but |w|_{a} > |w|_{aba} as argued, so not equal.

Therefore, M = {w : |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} } = {w : w contains no 'a' }

Because if w has no 'a', then both counts are 0; if w has至少 one 'a', then |w|_{a} >0, and if no "aba", |w|_{aba}=0 ≠ |w|_{a}, if has "aba", |w|_{a} > |w|_{aba} >0, so not equal.

Is that true? What if w has 'a' but no "aba", for example, w="a", then |w|_{a}=1, |w|_{aba}=0, not equal.

W="aa", |w|_{a}=2, |w|_{aba}=0, not equal.

W="ab", |w|_{a}=1, |w|_{aba}=0, not equal.

W="ba", |w|_{a}=1, |w|_{aba}=0, not equal.

W="abc", |w|_{a}=1, |w|_{aba}=0, not equal.

Now, if w has "aba", like w="aba", |w|_{a}=2, |w|_{aba}=1, not equal.

So indeed, the only strings where |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} are those with no 'a's.

Because if there is an 'a', |w|_{a} ≥1, and |w|_{aba} could be 0 or positive, but if |w|_{aba}=0, not equal; if |w|_{aba}>0, |w|_{a} > |w|_{aba}, so not equal.

Therefore, M = {w ∈ Σ* : w contains no 'a' } = (b ∪ c)*

Which is regular!

So {w: |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} } is regular, since it's all strings without 'a'.

Therefore, its complement, which is L1 = {w: |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a} } = {w: w contains at least one 'a' }

Because if w has no 'a', both counts are 0, equal; if w has at least one 'a', then |w|_{a} >0, and as above, |w|_{aba} could be 0 or positive, but in either case, |w|_{a} ≠ |w|_{aba} because if |w|_{aba}=0, not equal since |w|_{a}>0; if |w|_{aba}>0, |w|_{a} > |w|_{aba} >0, so not equal.

Thus, L1 = {w ∈ Σ* : w contains at least one 'a'} = Σ* \ {w: no 'a'} = Σ* \ (b ∪ c)*

Which is regular, since it's the complement of a regular language.

So option 1 is regular!

I almost missed that.

So for option 1, it is regular.

Now, option 2, as I said, is regular because it's Σ*.

Option 3 is not regular, as I argued.

So only option 3 is not regular.

The question says "Welche der folgenden Sprachen sind NICHT regulär?" and "Kreuzen Sie alle zutreffenden an." So I need to check all that are not regular.

So only option 3 should be checked.

Then, I need to choose one such language and prove that it is not regular.

Since only one is not regular, I must choose option 3.

Now, for the proof, I need to prove that language 3 is not regular.

Language 3: {a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0}

As I thought earlier, let L = this language.

Then, as I said, L = A ∪ B, where A = {a^i b^j c^k : i ≠ 1}, B = {a^i b^j c^k : j = k}

A is regular, as argued.

Now, if L were regular, then L ∩ {a b^j c^k : j,k ≥ 0} should be regular, because regular languages are closed under intersection with regular languages.

{ a b^j c^k : j,k ≥ 0 } is regular.

Now, L ∩ {a b^j c^k} = { a b^j c^k : (i=1, so i ≠1 is false, so must have j=k) or (j=k) but since i=1, the condition is i ≠1 or j=k, so for i=1, it must be that j=k.

So L ∩ {a b^j c^k} = { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 }

Which is not regular, as it is isomorphic to {b^j c^j}.

Therefore, since intersection with regular language should be regular, but it's not, so L is not regular.

I can use the pumping lemma directly.

For example, assume L is regular, pump the string a b^p c^p, which is in L since i=1 and j=k.

Then by pumping, we can get strings not in L, etc.

But the above argument is fine.

Now, for the answer format.

I need to output:

<option id="1">0</option>  (since it is regular)

<option id="2">0</option>  (regular)

<option id="3">1</option>  (not regular)

Then, for <answer id="4">, I need to provide a proof for language 3.

The template is: Beweis für Sprache ?: but in the example, it's "Beweis für Sprache 1:" but since I choose language 3, I should write "Beweis für Sprache 3:"

Then the proof.

So let me write the proof.

Proof for language 3: 

Let L = { a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0 }

Assume that L is regular. 

Consider the regular language R = { a b^j c^k : j,k ≥ 0 } 

Since regular languages are closed under intersection, L ∩ R should be regular.

Now, L ∩ R = { a b^j c^k : (i=1, so i ≠1 is false, thus must have j=k) } = { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 }

But { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 } is not regular, as it can be shown using the pumping lemma or because it requires counting the number of b's and c's.

For example, by pumping lemma, assume it is regular, let p be the pumping length, consider s = a b^p c^p. Then, by pumping, we can get strings where the number of b's and c's are not equal, which are not in the language, contradiction.

Therefore, L ∩ R is not regular, contradicting the assumption that L is regular. Hence, L is not regular.

I should write it properly.

In the answer, I need to follow the template.

So for <answer id="4">, I'll write:

Beweis für Sprache 3:

Angenommen, L sei regulär. Betrachte die reguläre Sprache R = { a b^j c^k | j,k ≥ 0 }. Da reguläre Sprachen unter Schnitt abgeschlossen sind, ist L ∩ R regulär. 

Nun ist L ∩ R = { a b^j c^k | (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i=1 } = { a b^j c^k | j = k } = { a b^j c^j | j ≥ 0 }.

Diese Sprache ist nicht regulär, wie durch das Pumping-Lemma gezeigt werden kann: Sei p die Pumping-Länge, betrachte s = a b^p c^p ∈ L ∩ R. Nach dem Pumping-Lemma kann s in xyz zerlegt werden mit |xy| ≤ p, |y| > 0, und für alle i ≥ 0, xy^i z ∈ L ∩ R. Da |xy| ≤ p und die ersten Zeichen a und b's sind, muss y nur b's enthalten. Dann ist xy^0 z = a b^{p-|y|} c^p, was nicht in L ∩ R ist, da die Anzahl von b's und c's nicht gleich ist, Widerspruch. 

Daher ist L ∩ R nicht regulär, was der Annahme widerspricht. Also ist L nicht regulär.

I should write in English or German? The problem is in German, so probably write in German.

But since the user might prefer, but the exercise is in German, so I'll write in German.

To be precise.

Now, for the options, I set id=1 and id=2 to 0, id=3 to 1.

Thoughts

First, I need to determine for which languages L, L ≠ L^R. L^R is the reverse of L, meaning the set of all reversed strings from L.

Let's look at each option:

**Option 1: L(b^*a^*b)**

This is the language described by the regular expression b^*a^*b. So, strings that start with any number of b's, then any number of a's, and end with a b.

Now, L^R would be the reverse of this language. The reverse of b^*a^*b is b a^* b^*, because when you reverse a string that ends with b, it starts with b, and the middle a's become a^*, and the initial b's become b^* at the end. So L^R should be b a^* b^*.

But L is b^*a^*b. Are these equal? For example, take the string "b". It is in L because it matches b^*a^*b (with zero a's and one b). Is it in L^R? L^R is b a^* b^*, so "b" is in L^R because it can be seen as b with zero a's and zero b's? No, b a^* b^* means it must start with a b, then any number of a's, then any number of b's. So "b" starts with b and has no a's and no more b's, so yes, it is in b a^* b^*.

But let's see if there's a difference. Consider a string like "aab". Is "aab" in L? L is b^*a^*b, so it must end with b. "aab" ends with b, but it starts with a, which is fine because b^* can be zero, so yes, "aab" is in L if we have zero b's, two a's, and one b. But for L^R, which is b a^* b^*, "aab" reversed is "baa", which starts with b, so it might be in L^R? "baa" starts with b, then a's, so yes, it is in b a^* b^*.

I need to find if L and L^R are equal. L = { strings that end with b } because b^*a^*b always ends with b. Similarly, L^R = { strings that start with b } because it's b a^* b^*.

Are these equal? No, because there are strings that start with b but don't end with b, like "ba", which is in L^R but not in L since L requires ending with b. Similarly, strings that end with b but don't start with b, like "ab", which is in L but not in L^R since L^R requires starting with b.

So L ≠ L^R for option 1.

Now, I need to provide a word that is in exactly one of them. For example, "ab" is in L but not in L^R. Because "ab" ends with b, so in L, but it starts with a, not b, so not in L^R. Similarly, "ba" is in L^R but not in L.

So for option 1, L ≠ L^R.

**Option 2: {w ∈ Σ^* : w ≠ w^R}**

This is the set of all strings that are not palindromes.

Now, L^R would be the reverse of this set. But since reversing a non-palindrome might still be a non-palindrome, or might be a palindrome? Let's think.

If w is not a palindrome, then w^R ≠ w, so w^R is also not a palindrome? Not necessarily. For example, w = "ab", which is not a palindrome, and w^R = "ba", which is also not a palindrome. But if w is not a palindrome, w^R is different from w, but w^R might be a palindrome or not.

Actually, for any string w, if w is not a palindrome, then w^R ≠ w, but w^R could be a palindrome itself. For example, w = "abc", which is not a palindrome, w^R = "cba", which is not a palindrome. But consider w = "abba" which is a palindrome, so not in L. I need strings not palindromes.

Suppose w is not a palindrome, so w ≠ w^R. Then what about w^R? Since (w^R)^R = w, and w ≠ w^R, so w^R ≠ w, which means w^R is also not a palindrome? No, w^R ≠ w means that w^R is not equal to w, but for w^R to be a palindrome, we need (w^R)^R = w^R, which is w = w^R, but we have w ≠ w^R, so w^R is not a palindrome. Therefore, if w is not a palindrome, then w^R is also not a palindrome.

Therefore, L = {w : w ≠ w^R} and L^R = {w^R : w ≠ w^R} = {v : v^R ≠ v} because if v = w^R, then v^R = w, and w ≠ w^R implies v^R ≠ v. So L^R is also the set of non-palindromes. Thus L = L^R.

So for option 2, L = L^R.

Therefore, L = L^R, so not unequal.

**Option 3: {u a v v : u,v ∈ Σ^*}**

This seems messy. It says {uavv : u,v ∈ Σ^*}. I think it means strings that have an 'a' followed by two identical strings vv. But u and v are separate.

L = { u a v v | u,v ∈ Σ^* }

Now, L^R would be the reverse of these strings. The reverse of a string in L is (v v a u)^R? Let's see: if s = u a v v, then s^R = (v v)^R a^R u^R = (v^R v^R) a u^R, since a is a character, a^R = a.

But u and v are strings, so u^R and v^R are reverses.

L^R = { s^R | s ∈ L } = { (v v)^R a u^R | u,v ∈ Σ^* } = { v^R v^R a u^R | u,v ∈ Σ^* }

Since u and v range over all strings, u^R and v^R also range over all strings, so we can let p = u^R and q = v^R, so L^R = { q q a p | p,q ∈ Σ^* }

So L^R = { w | w = q q a p for some p,q ∈ Σ^* }

Now, is this equal to L? L = { u a v v | u,v ∈ Σ^* }

For L to equal L^R, every string of the form u a v v should also be of the form q q a p, and vice versa.

But these are different. For example, consider a string like "a". Is "a" in L? L requires u a v v, so for "a", we can have u = ε, v = ε, so u a v v = ε a ε ε = a, so yes, "a" is in L.

Is "a" in L^R? L^R is q q a p, so for "a", we need q q a p = a, which implies q q must be empty and p empty, but if q = ε, then q q = ε, so ε a p = a p, which for p=ε is a, so yes, "a" is in L^R.

But let's take another example. Consider "baa". Is "baa" in L? L = u a v v. So if u = "b", v = "a", then u a v v = b a a a = "baaa", not "baa". To get "baa", we need u a v v = "baa". So if v = ε, then u a ε ε = u a, so for "baa", u must be "ba", so u a = "ba" a = "baa", yes, so "baa" is in L with u="ba", v=ε.

Now, is "baa" in L^R? L^R = q q a p. So for "baa", we need q q a p = "baa". If q = ε, then ε a p = a p, so a p = "baa" implies p="ba", but a p = "a" + "ba" = "aba", not "baa". If q = "b", then q q = "b" + "b" = "bb", then "bb" a p = "bba" + p, which for p=ε is "bba", not "baa". If q = "a", then q q = "aa", then "aa" a p = "aaa" + p, not "baa". If q = "ba", but q is a single string, q q = "ba" + "ba" = "baba", then "baba" a p, too long. So no way to get "baa" as q q a p because q q a p always has the a after two copies of q, so the string must have at least one a after a possible prefix, but in "baa", the a is the second character, but in q q a p, the a is after two q's, so if q is empty, it's a p, which starts with a, but "baa" starts with b, so not possible. Therefore, "baa" is not in L^R.

But we saw that "baa" is in L. Therefore, L ≠ L^R.

So for option 3, L ≠ L^R.

Now, I need to provide words for each where L ≠ L^R.

For option 1, we have L ≠ L^R, and word "ab" is in L but not in L^R.

For option 2, L = L^R, so no word, so I should indicate that with "-" or something.

For option 3, L ≠ L^R, and word "baa" is in L but not in L^R, as above.

The question says: "für jede Sprache L, die Sie gewählt haben", meaning for each language L that you have chosen, i.e., where L ≠ L^R, provide a word.

And hint: to leave empty, use "-".

So for options where L = L^R, I should not choose them, so in the answer, I need to output for each option whether L ≠ L^R or not.

The options are given with id, and I need to output for each id if L ≠ L^R.

Then in the answer, I need to provide the word for each.

But the answer template is:

1: ?

2: ?

3: ?

So I need to say for each, what is the word or "-".

Now, for option 1: L ≠ L^R, so word e.g., "ab"

For option 2: L = L^R, so "-"

For option 3: L ≠ L^R, so word e.g., "baa"

I should confirm option 3.

Another word for option 3: in L, we have strings with a followed by vv, but since v can be empty, it includes strings that end with a or have a anywhere? No, L is u a v v, so the a is always present, and after a, there is vv, so the string has an a and then some suffix, but since v can be empty, it can be just u a, so strings that contain at least one a? No, because u can have a's, but the string must have the literal 'a' from the pattern? Let's see: L = { u a v v | u,v ∈ Σ^* }, so yes, every string in L contains at least one 'a', but not necessarily, if u has a's, but the pattern has a explicit 'a', so for example, if u = "b", v=ε, then "b" a ε ε = "ba", which has one a. If u = ε, v=ε, then "a". If u = "bb", v="a", then "bb" a "a" "a" = "bbaaa", etc.

But strings without 'a' are not in L, because the explicit 'a' must be there.

Similarly, L^R = { q q a p | p,q ∈ Σ^* }, so every string in L^R must have an 'a' preceded by two identical strings q q.

So for example, "abc" is not in L^R because it doesn't have two identical prefixes before a? "abc" might be in L if u="ab", v="c", but u a v v = "ab" a "c" "c" = "abacc", not "abc". To have "abc" in L, we need u a v v = "abc". If v=ε, then u a = "abc", so u="ab", so yes, "abc" is in L.

Is "abc" in L^R? L^R = q q a p. For "abc", if q=ε, then a p = "a" + p, so for p="bc", "abc", but a p = "a" + "bc" = "abc", yes! So if q=ε, then q q = ε, and a p = a p, so for p="bc", we have "abc", so yes, "abc" is in L^R.

So for "abc", it is in both.

But for "baa", we saw it is in L but not in L^R.

Similarly, is there a string in L^R but not in L? For example, "aab". Is "aab" in L^R? L^R = q q a p. If q=ε, then a p = "a" + p, so for p="ab", "aab", yes. So "aab" is in L^R.

Is "aab" in L? L = u a v v. If v=ε, then u a = "aab", so u="aa", so yes, "aa" a = "aaa"? No, u a = u concatenated with a, so if u="aa", then u a = "aa" + "a" = "aaa", not "aab". To get "aab", we need u a v v = "aab". So if v=ε, u a = "aab", so u must be "aab" without the last a? u a = "aab" implies that u is the prefix before the last a, but the last character is b, not a. In u a v v, the explicit 'a' is part of the string, so for example, if u="a", v="b", then u a v v = "a" a "b" "b" = "aabb", not "aab". If u="aa", v=ε, then "aa" a ε ε = "aaa". If u="a", v=ε, then "a" a = "aa". To get "aab", we need the string to end with b, but after the explicit 'a', we have v v, which must be even length or something? v v is two copies of v, so it must be a string that can be divided into two identical parts after the a.

But "aab" has 'a' followed by "ab", which is not two identical parts because "a" and "b" are different. So "aab" cannot be written as u a v v for any u,v because after the explicit a, we need v v, so the suffix must be of even length and consist of two identical halves. "aab" has suffix "ab", which is not two identical halves. Therefore, "aab" is not in L.

But we saw that "aab" is in L^R because for q=ε, p="ab", we have a p = "aab".

So "aab" is in L^R but not in L.

Thus for option 3, L ≠ L^R, and words like "baa" in L but not L^R, or "aab" in L^R but not L.

For the answer, I need to provide a word that is in exactly one, so I can choose either.

Now back to the output.

For the options, I need to indicate for each if L ≠ L^R.

So:

Option 1: L ≠ L^R, so I should output 1 for the option? Let's see the format.

The options are given with id, and I need to output <option id="1">0 or 1</option> etc.

But what does the 0 or 1 represent? Looking back at the first part, for subproblem a, the options were to choose which are not regular, and 1 means yes, it is not regular.

Similarly here, for subproblem b, the options are probably to choose which languages have L ≠ L^R. The question says: "Für welche der folgenden Sprachen L gilt L ≠ L^R ?" so for which L, L ≠ L^R, so I need to select those options where it is true.

So in the output, for each option id, I should output 1 if L ≠ L^R, else 0.

Then in the answer, I need to provide for each language, a word that is in exactly one of L or L^R, but only for those where L ≠ L^R, otherwise "-".

The answer template is:

1: ?

2: ?

3: ?

So for each index, the word or "-".

Now, for option 1: L ≠ L^R, so word e.g., "ab"

For option 2: L = L^R, so "-"

For option 3: L ≠ L^R, so word e.g., "baa" or "aab". I'll use "baa" since it's in L but not L^R.

To be precise, for option 3, "baa" is in L but not in L^R, as established.

Similarly for option 1, "ab" is in L but not in L^R.

Now, for the output.

Beweis für Sprache 3:
Angenommen, die Sprache L = { a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0 } sei regulär. Betrachte die reguläre Sprache R = { a b^j c^k : j,k ≥ 0 }. Da reguläre Sprachen unter Schnitt abgeschlossen sind, müsste L ∩ R regulär sein.

Es gilt: L ∩ R = { a b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i = 1 } = { a b^j c^k : j = k } = { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 }.

Diese Sprache ist nicht regulär. Zum Beweis verwenden wir das Pumping-Lemma: Angenommen, { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 } sei regulär. Sei p die Pumping-Länge. Betrachte das Wort s = a b^p c^p. Nach dem Pumping-Lemma kann s in xyz zerlegt werden mit |xy| ≤ p, |y| > 0, und für alle i ≥ 0 gilt xy^i z ∈ { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 }.

Da |xy| ≤ p und s mit a beginnt, gefolgt von b's, besteht y nur aus b's. Dann ist für i = 0 das Wort xy^0 z = a b^{p-|y|} c^p. Da |y| > 0, ist p - |y| < p, also die Anzahl der b's ungleich der Anzahl der c's, somit xy^0 z nicht in { a b^j c^j : j ≥ 0 }, Widerspruch.

Daher ist L ∩ R nicht regulär, was der Annahme widerspricht, dass L regulär ist. Also ist L nicht regulär.

Thoughts

First, I need to answer subproblem c. The question is about which languages over Σ = {0,1} are undecidable. The languages are defined in terms of M_w, which I assume is the Turing machine encoded by the string w. So, |L(M_w)| is the size of the language accepted by M_w, and we're looking at whether the square of that size equals certain numbers: 25, 50, or 100.

I need to determine for each option if the language is undecidable. Then, I have to choose one and prove it's undecidable.

Recall that problems about the properties of Turing machines, especially those involving the size of their languages, are often undecidable. For example, determining if a Turing machine accepts a finite language is undecidable, but here it's about the exact size squared.

The key point is that for a Turing machine, the language it accepts can be infinite, finite, or empty. But here, |L(M_w)| is the cardinality, so if the language is infinite, |L(M_w)| is infinite, and its square isn't a finite number like 25, 50, or 100. So, for |L(M_w)|^2 to equal a finite number, L(M_w) must be finite.

So, essentially, these languages are about Turing machines that accept a finite language of a specific size, but squared. Since |L(M_w)| is a natural number (or infinity), |L(M_w)|^2 = k means that |L(M_w)| = sqrt(k), so k must be a perfect square.

25 is 5^2, so |L(M_w)| = 5.

100 is 10^2, so |L(M_w)| = 10.

50 is not a perfect square, so |L(M_w)|^2 = 50 would imply that |L(M_w)| is not an integer, but |L(M_w)| is always an integer or infinity, so if |L(M_w)| is finite, it's an integer, so |L(M_w)|^2 is a perfect square. Therefore, for k=50, which is not a perfect square, there is no Turing machine such that |L(M_w)|^2 = 50, because that would require |L(M_w)| = sqrt(50) which is not integer. So, the language {w : |L(M_w)|^2 = 50} is actually empty, because no Turing machine satisfies this.

If a language is empty, it is decidable because we can always say no. So, for option 2, the language is decidable (in fact, it's the empty set, which is decidable).

Now, for options 1 and 3, k=25 and k=100 are perfect squares, so |L(M_w)| must be 5 or 10 respectively.

The problem of whether a Turing machine accepts exactly n strings for a fixed n is decidable? No, it's not decidable in general.

Wait, is it decidable to check if |L(M_w)| = n for a fixed n?

For a fixed n, we can consider all strings of length up to a certain point, but since the language might include strings of arbitrary length, it's tricky.

Actually, for a fixed n, the set of Turing machines that accept exactly n strings is not decidable. I think it's undecidable.

Recall Rice's theorem. Rice's theorem says that any non-trivial property of the language accepted by a Turing machine is undecidable.

Here, for option 1, the property is that |L(M_w)| = 5, since |L(M_w)|^2 = 25 iff |L(M_w)| = 5.

Similarly for option 3, |L(M_w)| = 10.

Now, is the property "accepts exactly 5 strings" a non-trivial property? Yes, because there are Turing machines that accept exactly 5 strings, and there are those that don't (e.g., accept more or less). So, by Rice's theorem, it is undecidable.

Similarly for accepts exactly 10 strings.

But for option 2, as I said, it's impossible, so the property is trivial—always false—so the language is decidable (empty set).

Therefore, options 1 and 3 are undecidable, and option 2 is decidable.

The question says "Welche der folgenden Sprachen sind unentscheidbar?" so I need to check all that are undecidable. So for option 1: yes, option 2: no, option 3: yes.

Now, I need to choose one and prove it's undecidable. I'll choose option 1 for the proof.

The proof should use reduction or Rice's theorem. Since Rice's theorem is applicable, I can state that.

But the answer format requires a proof, so I should provide a detailed proof.

I'll prove for language 1: {w ∈ Σ* : |L(M_w)|^2 = 25} which is equivalent to {w : |L(M_w)| = 5}.

To prove undecidability, I can reduce from a known undecidable problem, like the halting problem or emptiness.

A standard proof is to show that deciding if |L(M)| = k for fixed k is undecidable.

Since Rice's theorem directly applies, I can invoke it, but perhaps I need to be explicit.

The example might expect a reduction.

Let me see the example format: it says "Beweis für Sprache 1: ..." so I need to write a proof.

I'll use reduction from the halting problem.

Assume that A = { w : |L(M_w)| = 5 } is decidable. Then I can show that the halting problem is decidable, which is a contradiction.

How to reduce halting to this?

For a given TM M and input x, I want to construct a TM M' such that M' accepts exactly 5 strings if M halts on x, or something else otherwise.

A common trick is to make M' accept a fixed set of 5 strings if M halts on x, and accept some other number if not.

But if M does not halt on x, I need M' to not have exactly 5 strings.

For example, I can make M' accept all strings if M does not halt on x, which is infinite, so not 5, or accept no strings, which is 0, not 5.

But if M halts on x, I make M' accept exactly 5 strings.

So, let’s define M' as follows: on input y, M' first simulates M on x. If M halts on x, then M' accepts y only if y is one of five specific strings, say "1", "2", "3", "4", "5". But since the alphabet is {0,1}, I need to choose strings from {0,1}*, so I can choose five distinct strings, e.g., ε, 0, 1, 00, 01 or something.

If M does not halt on x, then M' never halts on any y, so L(M') is empty, so |L(M')| = 0 ≠ 5.

But if M halts on x, then M' accepts exactly those five strings, so |L(M')| = 5.

Therefore, if I can decide whether |L(M')| = 5, I can decide if M halts on x.

Thus, since halting problem is undecidable, deciding |L(M')| = 5 is undecidable.

This works for any fixed k > 0, and for k=5.

Similarly for k=10.

So, for option 1, it's undecidable.

Now, for the answer, I need to output the options and then the proof.

So, for options:

<option id="1">1</option>  (undecidable)

<option id="2">0</option>  (decidable, since empty)

<option id="3">1</option>  (undecidable)

Then for the proof, I'll choose language 1.

The answer template is: Beweis für Sprache ?: and then the proof.

I'll put Beweis für Sprache 1:

And then write the proof.

In the proof, I should be precise.

Since the alphabet is {0,1}, I need to specify the strings.

Also, M_w is the TM encoded by w, so in the reduction, I need to construct from M and x a new TM description.

But in the proof, I can describe it.

Let me write the proof.

Wir reduzieren das Halteproblem auf \( L \). Das Halteproblem \( H = \{ \langle M, x \rangle : M \text{ hält auf Eingabe } x \} \) ist unentscheidbar.

Für eine gegebene Turingmaschine \( M \) und Eingabe \( x \) konstruieren wir eine Turingmaschine \( M' \) wie folgt: \( M' \) ignoriert ihre eigene Eingabe \( y \) und simuliert zunächst \( M \) auf \( x \). Wenn \( M \) auf \( x \) hält, dann akzeptiert \( M' \) genau dann, wenn \( y \) zu einer festen Menge von fünf Strings gehört, z.B. \( S = \{ \varepsilon, 0, 1, 00, 01 \} \).

Thoughts

Wir haben drei Sprachen und sollen angeben, welche nicht regulär sind. Wir müssen alle zutreffenden anklicken und dann eine davon beweisen.

Zuerst erinnern wir uns: Eine Sprache ist regulär, wenn sie von einem endlichen Automaten erkannt werden kann, oder durch einen regulären Ausdruck beschrieben wird. Um zu zeigen, dass eine Sprache nicht regulär ist, verwenden wir oft das Pumping-Lemma für reguläre Sprachen oder Eigenschaften, die nur für reguläre Sprachen gelten (wie Abschlusseigenschaften).

Schauen wir uns jede Sprache an:

**Option 1:** $\{w \in \Sigma^* : |w|_{aba} \ne |w|_a\}$

Hier ist $\Sigma = \{a, b, c\}$. $|w|_a$ ist die Anzahl der Vorkommen von $a$ in $w$. $|w|_{aba}$ ist die Anzahl der Vorkommen des Teilworts "aba" in $w$.

Diese Sprache enthält Wörter, in denen die Anzahl der "aba" Teilwörter ungleich der Anzahl der $a$'s ist.

Ist diese regulär? Ein Gedanke: Wir müssten die Anzahl der "aba"s und die Anzahl der $a$s vergleichen. Das Zählen von Teilwörtern ist oft nicht regulär, besonders wenn es um Vergleiche geht. Die Sprache $\{ w : |w|_a = |w|_b \}$ ist bekanntlich nicht regulär, aber hier geht es um $|w|_{aba}$ und $|w|_a$.

Wir betrachten das Pumping-Lemma. Angenommen, die Sprache ist regulär. Sei $p$ die Pumping-Länge. Betrachte ein Wort, das genug "aba" enthält, aber so, dass es nicht gepumpt werden kann, ohne die Bedingung zu verletzen.

Zum Beispiel: Nehmen wir das Wort $s = (aba)^p a^{p} = aba\ aba\ \dots\ aba\ aaa\dots a$ mit $p$ mal "aba" und dann $p$ mal "a". Also die Länge von $s$ ist $3p + p = 4p$. $|s|_{aba} = p$ (da "aba" $p$ vorkommt, ohne Überlappung, da nach jedem "aba" ein weiterer Buchstabe folgt, aber in diesem Fall ist es getrennt, hier am Ende sind nur a's, also Überlappung ist nicht möglich). Auch $|s|_a = p \times 2 + p = 3p$ (in jedem "aba" gibt es zwei a's und dann p a's, also $2p + p = 3p$). Also $|s|_{aba} = p$ und $|s|_a = 3p$, und $p \ne 3p$ für $p>0$, also ist $s$ in der Sprache, weil $|w|_{aba} \ne |w|_a$.

Jetzt pumpen wir. Nach Pumping-Lemma: $s$ kann zerlegt werden in $xyz$ mit $|xy| \le p$, $|y| > 0$, und für alle $i$, $xy^iz$ ist in der Sprache.

Da $|xy| \le p$ und $s$ aus $p$ mal "aba" besteht. Die ersten $p$ Zeichen von $s$ sind die ersten $\lfloor p/3 \rfloor$ "aba", aber $|xy| \le p$, also kann $y$ nur Teile von den ersten $p$ Zeichen abdecken, welche immer "aba" sind. Nun ist $y$ ein nichtleeres Teilwort im ersten Teil, und da wir nur "ababa..." haben, muss $y$ eine Folge wie "ab" oder "ba" oder "a" usw. sein.

Wir müssen $s = xyz$. Wenn wir $y$ pumpen, erhöht sich die Länge, aber das Problem ist, wie beeinflusst dies $|w|_{aba}$ und $|w|_a$. Aus $x y z$ wird $x y^i z$.

Durch Pumpen verändern wir die Anzahl der "aba" und die Anzahl der a's.

Sagen wir, $y$ enthält ein oder mehrere 'a'. Wenn wir $i$ erhöhen, erhöhen wir sowohl $|w|_a$ als auch möglicherweise $|w|_{aba}$, aber nicht in gleichem Maße.

Zum Beispiel: Nehmen wir an, $y$ ist "a" (also ein einzelnes a). Dann wenn wir $i$ mal pumpen, fügen wir $(i-1)$ mal "a" ein. Das erhöht $|w|_a$ um $(i-1)$, und $|w|_{aba}$ ändert sich nicht, weil wir ein a im Kontext einfügen. Wenn wir ein "a" einfügen, könnte dies neue "aba" schaffen oder zerstören. Abhängig von der Position.

Angenommen in $s = (aba)^p a^p$, dann die Position der 'a' in den "aba" Block ist fixiert. Wenn $y$ ein 'a' im ersten Block ist, sagen wir im ersten "aba" in der Mitte, wenn wir dieses 'a' pumpen, ändert es ein "aba" zu "abba" oder so.

Stattdessen betrachten wir ein Wort, das viele "aba" enthält, aber so, dass durch Pumpen die Anzahl der "aba" sinkt oder steigt, während a's anders betroffen sind.

Ein besseres Wort: Betrachten wir $s = (aba)^p = aba aba ... aba$ ($p$ mal). Also |s| = 3p.

$|s|_{aba} = p$ und $|s|_a = 2p$ (jedes "aba" hat zwei a's). Also $p \ne 2p$ für p>0, so dass $s$ in der Sprache ist.

Jetzt, $|xy| \le p$, $|y| > 0$. Da die ersten $|xy|$ Zeichen die ersten k "aba" Blöcke für k = floor(p/3) oder so, aber |xy| ≤ p, so dass y innerhalb der ersten min(p, 3k) Zeichen liegt. Spezifisch, da |xy| ≤ p und s hat 3p Zeichen, erst p Zeichen entsprechen den ersten floor(p/3) ganzen Blöcken plus Teil.

Aber nehmen wir p groß genug, dass p > 0 ist. Da |xy| ≤ p, y ist innerhalb der ersten p Zeichen von s.

Wir pumpen y: wir erhöhen i.

Wenn y nur b's oder c's enthält, aber s nur a und b enthält, und aba. Solange y nicht leer ist, ändert pumpen das Wort.

Angenommen y ist "a" in einem "aba". Sagen wir an Position 1 oder 3 in einem Block.

Zum Beispiel, wenn y das erste 'a' in einem "aba" ist, sagen wir für einen bestimmten Block, wenn wir y pumpen, wird daraus "aa" statt "a", also "aaba" statt "aba". Das zerstört ein "aba" und erzeugt kein neues, weil nach "aaba" mit dem nächsten "aba" fängt mit a an, aber "aaba" + "aba" = "aabaaba", welches "aba" enthält? "aaba" hat "aba" nicht als Teilwort an der erwarteten Stelle? In "aaba", wenn wir nach Teilwörtern "aba" suchen, gibt es ein "aba" von Position 2 bis 4: 'aab' nein, 'aba' ist Zeichen 2,3,4: Zeichen 2=a, 3=b, 4=a? s= Zeichen doch: Position: 1:a, 2:b, 3:a für ein "aba" Block, aber wenn wir y= Position 1:a pumpen, also nach Pumpen i mal: für i=2: statt 'a' haben wir 'aa', also Wort wird "aa b a" für den Block, d.h. "aaba". In "aaba", das Teilwort "aba" ist vorhanden? Zeichen: 1:a,2:a,3:b → nicht aba. Von 2:a,3:b,4:a → ja, wenn es ein viertes Zeichen gibt. Bei einem Block allein "aaba", Länge 4, Teilwörter: Position 1-3: "aab" nicht aba, 2-4: "aba" ja. Also in "aaba", gibt es ein "aba". Ähnlich, wenn wir es anhängen. Aber in unserem Fall, s = (aba)^p, wenn wir einen Block von "aba" zu "aaba" ändern durch Pumpen, dann für diesen Block: ursprünglich: "aba" hat |a|=2, |aba|=1; nach Änderung "aaba" hat |a|=3, |aba|=1 (da "aba" von Pos2-4). Also die Anzahl von "aba" bleibt gleich, aber |a| erhöht.

In der Sprache ist die Bedingung |w|_aba ≠ |w|_a. Anfangs für s: |w|_aba = p, |w|_a=2p, p ≠ 2p. Nach dem Pumpen haben wir für i=2, |w|_aba = p (weil jedes "aba" noch da ist, nur eine a hinzugefügt, die möglicherweise ein neues erzeugen oder nicht, aber im geänderten Block, "aba" ist noch vorhanden, wie oben). Allgemein: wenn wir ein 'a' einfügen, könnte ein neues "aba" entstehen, aber im Fall oben in "aaba", es gibt ein "aba", aber nicht mehr. In "aaba" als Teil des ganzen Wortes.

Besser ein allgemeiner Fall. Angenommen y ist ein Teil des "aba" Blocks. Da |xy| ≤ p, und s beginnt mit "aba"^p, die ersten p Zeichen umfassen die ersten k vollen Blöcke für k= floor(p/3), plus einen Teil.

Aber um einfach zu sein, nehmen wir an p ist Vielfaches von 3. s = (aba)^{p/3}? Nein, p mal "aba", also Anzahl der Blöcke ist p, Länge 3p. |xy| ≤ p, so kann y höchstens die ersten ceil(p/3) Blöcke beeinflussen. Aber weil |xy| ≤ p, die Position von y ist innerhalb der ersten p Zeichen, die den ersten m Blöcken entsprechen mit m = ceil(p/3) *3? Nehmen wir p = 3 für Einfachheit.

Sei p=3 (Pumping-Länge, aber p ist fest, aber wir wählen s basierend auf p). Eigentlich, s muss Länge mind. p haben.

Setze p die Pumping-Länge. Wähle s = (aba)^p, |s|=3p ≥ p.

|s|_{aba} = p (da keine Überlappung, jeder Block ist "aba" und separater Teil, wenn p>1, "abaaba", Teile? "aba" vom ersten Block, und "aba" vom zweiten, keine Überlappung, da Position 1-3: aba, 4-6: aba. Also |aba|=p.

|s|_a = 2p in (aba)^p.

 Jetzt, |xy| ≤ p,, |y|>0.

Fall 1: y ist innerhalb eines "aba" Blocks, aber nicht komplettes "aba". Zum Beispiel, y könnte "a" sein (erste Position oder dritte). Oder "b" oder "ab" etc.

Unterfall: y = "b" (das b in einem "aba"). Dann pumpen wir y: für i=2, wird "bb" statt "b", also "abba" für einen Block. In "abba", |aba| = 0, weil "ab b a" hat "aba" nicht? "abb a" , Teilwörter: pos1-3: "abb" nicht aba, pos2-4: "bba" nicht aba. Also kein "aba". Für i=2, das neue Wort hat |aba| = p-1, weil ein Block zerstört wurde. |w|_a bleibt 2p, weil wir b gepumpt haben, a's gleich. Also |aba| = p-1, |w|_a = 2p. Für i=2 p-1 ≠ 2p? Ja, aber die Sprache erfordert u unequality, also ist es immer noch true, not equal. nicht gut, um zu zeigen, dass es nicht in der Sprahe ist. Wir müssen zeigen, dass für einige i, xy^i z in der Sprache, meaning |aba| und |a| become equal.

Für i=0, wenn wir y löschen: aus "aba" mit y="b" entfernt, wird "aa". In "aa", |aba|=0, |a|=2. 0≠2, also immer noch ungleich. Nicht hilfreich.

Wenn y das 'a' ist, wie vorher. Sagen wir, im ersten Block, y = das erste 'a'. für i=2, wird aus Block1: "aaba" statt "aba". In "aaba" wie vorher, es gibt ein "aba" (pos2-4). Also Annahme, dass |aba| gleich bleibt, nur |a| erhöht sich.

Verlorenes eine Sprache nicht? Aber wenn in "aaba" |aba| 1 ist, ja seit ein "aba", aber |a| erhöht.  Also für i=2, |w|_aba = p (alle anderen Blöcke gleich, ändert vielleicht Erzeugt eine neues "aba" mit dem nächsten Block? Wenn wir das letzte a vom ersten Block haben, und nächster Block ist "aba", so "aaba" + "aba" = "aabaaba". Teilwörter: von 1-3: "aab" nicht aba, 2-4: "aba" ja (ze  2,3,4 a,a,b? Position: let’s say indices 1:a,2:a,3:b,4:a,5:a,6:b,7:a for "aabaaba" which is |w|=7 from two blocks modified: first block "aaba", second "aba" but we have "aabaaba". Substrings: between 2-4: "aba", 3-5: "baa" not, 4-6: "aab" not, etc. Also clearly "aba" at positions 2-4 and also if there is more. After the modification, the number of "aba" may increase or decrease depending on context, but in this case with one pump, from one block changing from "aba" to "aaba" and the next is "aba", so in "aabaaba", the substrings "aba" are at positions 2-4 (characters 2=a,3=b,4=a) and positions 5-7? characters 5=a,6=b,7=a but we only have 6 characters: "a a b a a b a" for n=2, with n blocks. For p=2, s initial "abaaba" has |aba|=2. After changing first 'a' to "aa", we get "aabaaba", with characters: 1:a,2:a,3:b,4:a,5:a,6:b,7:a ? "aabaaba" has 7 characters? No, "aba" is 3, "abaaba" is 6, "aabaaba" is 7.

Better to us a new approach or assume that pumping can cause the counts to change, but when we pump, for some i, we might make them equal.

Suppose for contradiction that the language is regular. Then for pumping length p, consider s = (aba)^p. |s;| = 3p, |s|_aba = p, |s|_a = 2p.

Let s = xyz with |xy| <= p, |y| >0.

Since |xy| <= p, and s starts with "aba"^k for some k with 3k <= p? |xy| <= p, so it is within the first p characters.

The first p characters contain the first floor(p/3) full "aba" blocks plus a prefix of the next block.

For simplicity, assume p is multiple of 3, so first p characters are exactly the first p/3 blocks, each "aba", so 3*(p/3)= p characters.

Let k = p/3, so first k blocks. Then y is within the first k blocks. When we pump y, e.g i=2, we add extra characters only in the first k blocks, so the number of "aba" in the first k blocks may change, but after that, the remaining (p - k) blocks are unchanged? Not quite, because pumping affects the whole word.

If y is in the first part, and we pump, only the first part changes, so the number of "aba" in the modified part may increase or decrease, but the point is to compare |w|_aba and |w|_a.

For example, if y is "a" in one block, say in block m, pumping to "aa" increases |a| by 1 for each pump beyond 1, but |aba| may stay the same or change slightly.

In many cases, |aba| doesn't change when pumping, so |a| changes, so the inequality remains.

We need a case where pumping can make them equal.

Consider the word where initially |aba| = p, |a| = 2p, difference p.

If we pump, |a| can increase while |aba| increases at most linearly, but if we add characters, we might not increase |aba| proportionally.

Choose a word where the difference is small.

Another idea: consider a word where |aba| and |a| are different, but after pumping they can become equal.

For example, start with a word that has |aba| = 2p, but |a| = 2p+1 or something.

But in our case with (aba)^p, we have |aba| = p, |a| = 2p.

With pumping, if we remove y (i=0), we reduce both counts.

For example, if y = "b" in a block, then deleting it, that block becomes "aa" , so |aba| for that block dreop to 0, |a| stays 2 for the two a's? Block "aba" has 2 a's, after deleting b, "aa" has 2 a's, no aba. So we lose one aba count, a count unchanged. So |w|_aba = p-1, |a| = 2p. If p-1 = 2p?  -1 = p, only for p= -1 impossible. So always  p-1 ≠ 2p, so still in language.

If we add, similar.

causing the uter ein Wort, bei dem i=0 oder i2 Gleicheit erzwingt.

Angenommen, wir wählen y so, dass es durch Entfernen oder Hinzufügen die Anzahl in einem ausgewogenen Maß verändert.

Zum Beispiel, wenn y "aba" ist, aber |y| =3, und |y|>0, aber far |xy| <=p, wenn p from, say p=3, und s= (aba)^p, dann für p=3, |s|=9, |xy|<=p=3, so kann y höchstens das erste "aaa" sein, aber es ist "aba".

Wenn s= aba aba aba, |xy| <=3, say xy von Position 1-3, vcla "aba", so kann y= "aba" ganzer Block. Then for i=0, remove y, word becomes " aba aba" , 2 blocks, |aba|=2, |a|=4. 2≠4.

For i=2, add extra "aba", so "aba aba aba aba" for p=3 initial, for i=2, it becomes "abaaba aba aba" mit an extra "aba" auf lein, also "aba aba aba aba" four blocks, |aba|=4, |a|=8, 4≠8.

Always unequal.

But perhaps for some configuration, it can be equal.

Maybe the language is not regular. But let's look at other options first.

**Option 2:** $\big(\{w \in \Sigma^* : w = w^R\}\ big)^*$

First, $\{w : w = w^R\}$ is the palindrome language over {a,b,c}, which is not regular. But here it is the Kleene star of that set.

The set of par benches ist nicht regular, aber der Kleene-star einer Sprache.

Der Kleene-star einer nicht regulären Sprache kann regulär sein. Zum Beispiel, wenn ich eine Sprache L habe, die nicht regulär ist, kann L* regulär sein.

For instance, L = { a^n b^n : n>=0 } is not regular, but L* is not regular either. L* is { w : w has equal number of a and b in each prefix? }, but actually for L={a^n b^n}, L* is also not regular.

Another example: let L be the set of palindromes, which is not regular.

But for palindromes, L = { w : w = w^R }, this is not regular.

Now L* is the set of strings that can be written as a concatenation of palindromes.

Is L* regular? Well, for example, every string can be written as a concatenation of palindromes? Because single symbols are palindromes, and also if not, but es ist bekannt, dass every string über einem Alphabet mit mindestens zwei Symbolen als Konkatenation von Palindromen geschrieben werden kann. Das liegt daran, dass einzelne Zeichen Palindome sind, und somit L* = Σ*.

Stimmt das? Ein einzelner Buchstabe, wie "a" ist ein Palindrom, und "b" etc. Auch das leere Wort, aber selbst ohne, jedes Wort ist eine Konkatenation von Buchstaben, und jede Einzelbuchstabe ist ein Palindrom, so ja, L* = Σ*. Und Σ* ist regulär.

Also hier, L = {w : w = w^R}, palindromes, nicht regulär, aber L* = Σ*, da jedes Wort in einzelne Buchstaben aufgeteilt werden kann, und jeder Buchstabe ein Palindrom ist, also ist L* = Σ*, which is regular.

Somit ist Option 2 regulär.

Korrekt? Ein einzelner Buchstabe ist ein Palindrom, ja, also jedes Wort w kann als Konkatenation von |w| einzelnen Buchstaben geschrieben werden, und da jedes ein Palindrom ist, ist w in L*. Also L* = Σ*, regulär.

Also Option 2 ist regulär, so dass wir sie nicht auswählen müssen (sollen welche nicht regulär ankreuzen).

**Option 3:** $\{ a^i b^j c^k : (i \ne 1 \vee j = k) \wedge i,j,k \ge 0 \}$

Mit anderen Worten, entweder i ≠ 1 oder j=k.

Das ist gleich zu sagen: wenn i=1, dann muss j=k, sonst (i≠1), dann keine Bedingung.

Umformuliert:  i ≠1 oder j=k.

Jetzt, ist das regulär? Wir benutzen Abschlusseigenschaften oder Pumping-Lemma.

Zuerst, die Sprache aller a^i b^j c^k isse regulär, da durch regulärer Ausdruck oder Automat gegebenen.

Aber hier mit Bedingung.

Betrachet die Bedingung: A oder B, wobei A ist "i≠1", B ist "j=k".

Die Sprache ist also L = { a^i b^j c^k : i≠1 } ∪ { a^i b^j c^k : j=k }

Gut, das ist endlich, abzahlbar.

Jetz, die erste Sprache { a^i b^j c^k : i≠1 } ist regulär, weil die Worte, die nicht "a b^j c^k" mit genau einem a in Ordnung haben. Für festes i, aber es gibt unendlich viele, weiter.

Tatsächlich, { a^i b^j c^k : i≠1 } = { a^i b^j c^k : i=0 oder i>=2 }, und beide sind regulär: für i=0: b^j c^k, für i>=2: aaa* b* c*, etc. Also tatsächlich regulär.

Die zweite Sprache { a^i b^j c^k : j=k } is nicht regulär, ähnlich a^n b^n.

Nun, die Vereinigung einer regulären und einer nicht regulären Sprache kann nicht regulär sein.

Ist das wahr?

Angenommen R regulär, L nicht regulär. Ist R ∪ L nicht regulär? Nicht notwendigerweise, wenn L ⊆ R, dann R ∪ L = R, regulär.

Aber hier, { a^i b^j c^k : j=k } ist not contained in { a^i b^j c^k : i≠1 }, denn für i=1 und j=k, it is in the second language but not in the first.

Also die Vereinigung ist nicht regulär, because if it were, then ( L ∪ R ) ∩ { a^i b^j c^k : i=1 } would be, but { a^i b^j c^k : i=1 } ist regulär (da einzelner a-Block), und (L ∪ R) ∩ { i=1 } = { a^1 b^j c^k : (i≠1 false) so muss j=k } ∪ { j=k }, aber für i=1, das ist die Menge { a b^j c^k : j=k }, welche nicht regulär ist.

Wenn L3 regulär wäre, dann da { i=1 } regulär, der Schnitt L3 ∩ { a^i b^j c^k : i=1 } = { a b^j c^k : j=k }, which is not regular, contradiction.

Da der Schnitt zweier regulärer Sprachen regulär sein muss, aber { a b^j c^k : j=k } is not regular, so kann L3 nicht regulär sein.

Also Optione 3 is nicht regulär.

Jetzt zurück zu Option 1.

Wir haben: Option 2 ist regulär, Option 3 ist nicht regulär.

Für Option 1, ich denke auch nicht regulär.

Beweis mit Pumping-Lemma.

Sei L1 = { w : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a }

Angenommen L1 regulär. Sei p Pumping-Länge.

Wir wählen s = (aba)^p. Dann |s| = 3p, |s|_{aba} = p, |s|_a = 2p, also ungleich, s ∈ L1.

Now for any decomposition s = xyz with |xy| <= p, |y| >0.

Since |xy| <= p and s = (aba)^p, the first |xy| characters are part of the first ceil(p/3) or floor blocks.

Assume p divisible by 3 for simplicity. Set k = p/3, but p is the length, in number of blocks.

Set m such that 3m is the length of first portion covered by |xy| <= p.

Since |s| = 3p, and |xy| <= p, so y is within the first p characters.

Now, the string s has the form: positions 1 to p: aba aba ... aba, exactly floor(p/3) full aba blocks plus a prefix if p not multiple of 3.

But to be general, let us take p large, multiple of 3, so s = (aba)^{p}, with |s| = 3p, and |xy| <= p, so y is within the first p characters, which are the first p/3 aba blocks.

Let the first t blocks, with 3t <= p, but since |xy| <= p and s starts with aba, the number of full blocks in first p characters is floor(p/3).

For p multiple of 3, 3t = p for t = p/3.

Then y is within these t blocks.

When we pump y, only these t blocks are affected, the other blocks remain.

Now, depending on what y is, pumping may change the number of 'a' and the number of "aba" in the affected part.

But since we can pump up or down, we can choose i such that the number of "aba" and the number of 'a' become equal for the affected part, but not necessarily for the whole word.

The idea is to make the whole word have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a.

After pumping, let w = xy^i z for some i.

Initially for s: |s|_{aba} = p, |s|_a = 2p.

In the affected prefix, there are t blocks, each with |aba| =1, |a| =2.

After pumping y, the number of "aba" in the first part changes by some amount, c essential.

But since y is part of the first part, und wir pumpen, der Wert wird sich ändern.

Entweder |aba| und |a| erhöhen/verringern sich proportional oder nicht.

In den meisten Fällen, nach dem Pumpen, |aba|_new and |a|_new im Teil oder Gesamt.

Finden wir ein i, so dass für das neue Wort |w|_{aba} = |w|_a.

Da aber die geänderte Region nur einen Teil betrifft, können wir für i=0 das gesamte Wort erhalten.

Auswahl i=0: w = xz.

Entfernt y, was ein nicht-leeres Teilwort der ersten t Blöcke ist.

Was ist der Längeneffekt? Angenommen, die Länge von y ist l, also |w|_a reduziert sich um |y|_a, und |w|_{aba} reduziert sich um die Anzahl der "aba", die in y oder aufgrund des Entfernens entfernt werden.

Aber es ist unklar.

Sei q so gewählt, dass für s = (aba)^p mit p groß, aber |s| nicht ein Mehrfaches von 3, or something.

Eine bessere Wahl für s: wähle s basierend auf y.

Kleineres Wort: s = aba a^{N} für großes N.

Also s = aba gefolgt von N mal a.

Dann |s|_{aba}: "aba" kommt einmal in den ersten drei Buchstaben vor, solange N>0, gibt es keine weiteren "aba", weil nach aba folgen a's, also Teilwörter, die von Position 2,3,4: wenn es nachfolgende a's gibt, Position 2,3,4: char3=a (vom ersten), char4=a, char5=a usw., also z.B. von Index i,i+1,i+2, wenn i+2 <= N+3.

In s = aba a^{N}, Position: 1:a, 2:b, 3:a, 4:a, 5:a, ..., up to N+3.

Teilwörter "aba": only at position 1-3: "a b a" = aba. Bei Position 3-5: "a a a" nicht aba, etc. Nur wenn der mittlere Buchstabe b ist, also nur wenn wir  Position 1-3: aba haben. Nach Position 4, nur a's, also keine b's, so keine weiteren "aba". Also |s|_{aba} = 1.

|s|_a = Anzahl der a: in "aba" gibt es zwei a's, plus N a's, also 2 + N.

Also |s|_aba = 1, |s|_a = 2+ N. Für N groß, 1 != 2+N, also s in L1.

Setze N groß, größer einige p, aber wähle N so dass für einige Pumping, es gleich werden kann.

Pumping-Lemma: setze N = p, oder größer.

Sei s = aba a^p.

|s| = 3 + p.

|xy| <= p, |y| >0.

Da |s| = p+3 > p (für p>=1), so |xy| <= p, so x y in den ersten p Buchstaben.

In s = aba a^p, die ersten 3 Buchstaben sind "aba", dann p a's.

Wenn |xy| <= p, und p >=1.

Wenn |xy| <=3, dann y im "aba" Teil, oder wenn |xy| >3, im a's Teil.

Fall 1: y im "aba" Teil.

Zum Beispiel, y enthält ein 'a' oder b.

Unterfall: wenn y das 'b' enthält, dann für i=0, entfernen von y, d.h. entfernen von b, Wort wird "aa a^p" = a^{p+2}.

Dann |w|_aba =0 (kein aba), |w|_a = p+2, ungleich, also immer noch in L1.

Falls y ein 'a' ist, etwa das erste a.

Für i=0, entfernen von a, Wort wird "ba a^p", |aba|=0 (da beginnt mit b), |a| =1 + p, 0 != 1+p, also in L1.

Für i=2, das Wort wird zB wenn y erstes a, "aaba a^p", in "aa b a a^p", "aaba a...", with "aba" at position 2-4? Zeichen: 1:a,2:a,3: b,4:a,5:a,... so position 2-4: "a b a" = aba, und Position 3-5: "b a a" nicht aba, so ein "aba". Also |aba| =1, |a| = (3 + p) -1 +1 = ? Ursprüngliche Länge 3+p, nach Einfügen von einem 'a' (wenn i=2, y=a war, wir fügen ein a ein), also |w| = 4+p, |a| = ? Ursprunglich |a|=2+p, nach hinzufügen eines a, |a|=3+p.

|aba|: da nun "aaba" als Anfang, mit "aba" bei Position 2-4, und keinen anderen, da rest a's. Also |aba|=1, |a|=3+p. 1 != 3+p, also in L1.

Fall 2: y im Suffix von a's.

Da das Suffix nur a's hat, sei v das Präfix bis vor den a's, also v="aba" für den Anfang, aber s = "aba" + "a"^p.

Also, wenn |xy| <= p, und die ersten Zeichen, wenn |xy| >3, dann y in den a's beteiligt.

Angenommen, xy umfasst die erste 3 + k Zeichen, für k< p, aber |xy|<=p, also k <= p-3, aber nicht notwendigerweise.

Da die ersten drei Zeichen "aba" sind, und dann a's, für jeden Punkt, if 3 < |xy| <= p, dann yi in the a's section.

Nach Pumping, zB i=2, wir fügen mehr a's ein, wodurch |w|_a zunimmt, aber |w|_aba konstant bleibt? |aba| is still 1, because only at the beginning.

For i=0, we remove some a's, so |a| decreases, but |aba| remains 1, so if |a| = 2 + p - l for some l, then 1 != 2+p -l, which may be equal for specific l, but we can choose.

Initially |s|_a = 2 + p

After removing y, |w|_a = 2 + p - |y|_a

But since y is in the a's part, |y|_a = |y|, because all a's.

|y| >0, so |w|_a = 2 + p - |y|

|w|_aba = 1 still, since the "aba" is intact.

Then we have 1 vs 2 + p - |y| they are equal if 1 = 2 + p - |y|, so |y| = 1 + p.

But |y| <= p - |x| <= p, and |y| <= p, so for |y| = p+1 impossible since |y| <= p.

1 = 2 + p - |y| implies |y| = 2 + p - 1 = p+1

But |y| <= p < p+1, so |y| cannot be p+1, thus always 1 != 2+p - |y| for |y| in range (0,p], so not equal, thus w = xz is in L1.

Similarly for other i.

But to force equality, use a different word.

Another word: use s where |aba| and |a| are close.

For example, let s = aba^{m} with m large, but as before.

s = (aba)^m a^{k} with m and k chosen specially.

But perhaps with pumping, we can adjust.

Note that for the language to be regular, it should be closed under intersection, etc.

Consider the homomorphism or other properties.

I think L1 is not regular.

Assume it is regular, then its complement should be regular.

The complement is { w : |w|_{aba} = |w|_a }

This is a language where number of occurrences of aba equals number of a's.

This seems clearly non-regular, since it requires counting, and aba occurrences can be overlapping or context-dependent.

For example, in "aaba", |aba| =1, |a|=3; in "aba", |aba|=1, |a|=2; to have equal, like "baa", |aba|=0, |a|=2 not equal.

Is there any word with |aba| = |a|? For example "aba": 1 vs 2 not equal. "aaaba": positions:1-3 "a a b" not aba, 2-4 "a b a" aba, 3-5 "b a a" not, so |aba|=1, |a|=4 not equal. "b": |aba|=0, |a|=0, equal? If we consider |a| = number of a, in "b", |a|=0, |aba|=0, so 0=0, True.

But for wnur b, c, ac etc, without a or aba.

So the complement includes all words with no a, or with a but with |aba| = |w|_a.

For example, w with no a: |w|_a=0, |aba|=0, equal.

Or w with a but depending.

The set of w with no a is a sublanguage, regular.

But also other words.

But this language has to be non-regular, but let's use pumping lemma directly on L1 or its complement.

Since option 3 is clearly not regular, and option 1 also seems not, but for the answer, we need to select all non-regular.

But let's go back to the choices.

For the question, we need to check all options that are not regular.

From above:

Option 2: is regular, as discussed.

Option 3: is not regular.

Option 1: probabl  not regular.

For option 1, let's claim it is not regular.

Proof by contradiction using pumping lemma.

Assume L1 regular, pumping length p.

Choose s = (aba)^p, as before.

|s| = 3p, |s|_{aba} = p, |s|_a = 2p.

Take decomposition s = xyz with |xy| <= p, |y| >0.

Since |xy| <= p, y is within the first p characters, which are in the first ceil(p/3) blocks.

For i=0, consider w = xz.

By removing y, the string changes.

Let the prefix affected be reduced.

Initially, in the prefix of length p, there are at least floor(p/3) full aba blocks, with |aba| in prefix about p/3, |a| about 2p/3.

But after removing y, k>0 characters, the number |aba| in the prefix decreases, and also in the whole string.

Specifically, since y is removed, the substring "aba" that jects y or at the boundary may be destroyed.

For example, if y contains a 'b', then at least one "aba" is destroyed.

If y is all a, it may not destroy "aba" immediately, but in our s, the position.

To force, suppose y appears in a position where it doesn  not affect existing "aba" much.

But for i=2, it might add.

Perhaps for some i, we can achieve equality.

Let p be such that p is large, and set k = p, and choose i so that after pumping, the new length or counts.

Notice that for w = xy^iz, |w|_{aba} and |w|_a are linear functions of i, so there exists i where they are equal, er Finsternis.

When we pump y, for different i, |w| changes linearly.

Let f(i) = |w|_{aba} for w=xy^ i z.

 g(i) = |w|_a.

Both f and g are affine functions of i? Because adding/removing copies of y adds some number of "aba" and some number of 'a'.

But the change in "aba" depends on the context, so f(i) is not necessarily affine, as ituch  be constant for some range.

For example, if y is "a" in a sequence of a's, then pumping adds only a's, no "aba", so f(i) constant.

N cases, f(i) may change only when i causes boundary effects.

So in general, f(i) is not simple.

But in many configurations, f(i) and g(i) do not equal for any i.

For instance, with s= (aba)^p and y in the blocks, we can have f(i) ~ p + c (i-1) for some c, but c could be 0.

If y is "a" and in a position that can create new "aba", then c>0.

But let's assume that for the chosen s and decomposition, we can choose i to make them equal.

But the pumping lemma says that for every decomposition, so if there exists one decomposition where for all i, w=xy^i z in L, then it holds.

To contradiction, we need to show that for every decomposition, there exists i such that w not in L.

So for a given decomposition, find i such that |w|_{aba} = |w|_a.

But for some decompositions, it might not be possible.

For example, all y consisting word in the a's part, then pumping only changes |a|, not |aba|, so again |aba| = p, |a| =2p + (i-1)|y|_a or something, never equal for integer i.

The only way equality is possible if  p = 2p + k for some k, but p negative impossible.

Or if |y|_a =0, then |a| unchanged, |aba| unchanged, so p vs 2p not equal.

So in this case, for such decompositions, ever pump is not causing equality.

But for L1 not in the language means equality, so to show not in L1, we need |w|_{aba} = |w|_a.

But in we cases, it doesn't happen, so w is still in L1 for all i, so no e Widerspruch.

But we bly one decomposition to mess it up.

Dann machen wir einen anderen s.

Wähle s = aba^{2p} für große p.

s = "aba" followed by 2p a's.

Then |s|_{aba} = 1, |s|_a = 2 + 2p = 2(1+p)

|s| = 3 + 2p.

Now, if we can pump to make |aba| and |a| equal.

With |xy| <= p, |y| >0.

If y is in the suffix of a's, then for i=0, remove y, |w|_a = 2 + 2p - |y|, |w|_aba =1.

1 = 2 + 2p - |y| for some |y|, possible 2 + 2p - |y| = 1, so |y| = 1 + 2p.

But |y| <= p < 1+2p for p>0, so impossible.

For i=2, |w|_a = 2 + 2p + |y| (if y all a), |aba|=1, cannot be equal.

If y includes the "aba" part, say y is the "b", then for i=0, remove b, w = "aa" + a^{2p} = a^{2p+2}, |aba|=0, |a|=2p+2, not equal.

etc, still not equal.

Another word: that has many occurrences of aba when we add, but initially small.

I think L1 is not regular, and for the purpose, we'll include it.

But let's see the options, we have to choose one to prove.

For now, for the multiple choice, I think both option 1 and option 3 are not regular, option 2 is regular.

So for options, id=1: yes, not regular, so 1
id=2 no, not not regular, so 0
id=3 yes, not regular, so 1

Xot aLso, the question says "Kreuzen Sie all zutreffenden an" for which are not regular.

Then we need to prove one.

We can prove, say, option 3, which is easier.

Or option 1, but option 3 is cleaner.

Look at the answer template: we need to choose one and prove.

Example is für Sprache 1.

But we can choose.

I'll choose to prove option 3.

For option 3: L3 = { a^i b^j c^k : (i != 1 or j=k) and i,j,k >=0 }

To prove not regular.

Using the characterization: L3 ∩ { a^i b^j c^k : i=1 } = { a^1 b^j c^k : j=k } = { a b^j c^j : j >=0 }, which is isomorphic to { b^j c^j }, not regular.

Since { a^i b^j c^k : i=1 } is regular (accepted by automated that checks first character a, and then only b,c, but specific to i=1, so not: the set where i=1 is a b^* c^*, also regular).

And intersection with L3 gives { a b^j c^k : j=k }, not regular.

If L3 were regular, then the intersection should be regular, but it's not, contradiction.

Therefore, L3 is not regular.

Similarly, for option 1, we can do it, but this is easier.

For the options, also option 1 is not regular, so we select both.

But for the proof, we choose one.

So let's provide the answer.

Thoughts

We are given three languages over Σ = {a, b}. We need to determine for which L it holds that L ≠ L^R, and for those, provide a word w that is in exactly one of L or L^R.

Recall that L^R is the reverse of L, i.e., L^R = { w^R | w ∈ L }.

Let's analyze each option:

Option 1: L = L(b^* a^* b)
This is the set of all strings that consist of some number of b's (possibly zero), then some number of a's (possibly zero), and then a single b at the end. So a string must end with a b.

What is L^R? 
The reverse of a string in L: if we have a string w = b^m a^n b (for some m,n ≥0), then w^R = b (a^n)^R (b^m)^R = b a^n b^m.
So L^R = { b a^n b^m | n, m ≥ 0 }.

Now, compare L and L^R:

L: strings that end with a b and have the form (b's)(a's)(one b). So the last character is always b, and the first character can be b or a (if the first part of b's is zero then the string starts with a's and then has a b at the end).

But note: in L, the block of a's is between the initial b's and the final b, so there is at least one b at the end.

L^R: strings that start with a b, then a block of a's, then a block of b's. So the first character is b.

Is L equal to L^R? 

Consider a string that is in both. For example, the string "b" is in L (with m=0, n=0: b) and also in L^R (with n=0, m=0: b).

But consider a string in L: "ab" (which is in L with m=0, n=1: a^* part is a and then the last b). Its reverse is "ba". Is "ba" in L? For L, we must have a string that ends with b, which "ba" does, but the form must be (b's?)(a's?)(b). But "ba" has one b then one a: wait, actually "ba" is not of the form (b's)(a's)(b) because after the a's we must have one b, but in "ba" the a is at the end? No: in "ba", we have one b (so initial b's: one b) then one a (which is the a's part) but then we expect one more b at the end? Actually, the pattern is: initial b's (here one b), then a's (one a), and then one b? So for "ba", we don't have the last b. So "ba" is not in L.

To be in L, the string must end with a b. So "ab" is in L because it ends with b and is a^1 b (which is the case m=0: no initial b's, a's: one a, then one b). 

Now, the reverse of "ab" is "ba". Is "ba" in L? For L, the string must end with b: yes. Then we can break it as: initial b's: if we take m=1, then we have one b, then a's: n=0 (since after that we have the last b? but there is no a and the next is the last b? Actually, the string is "ba", so if we break it as b (initial b) then a? but we have a's and then one last b? But here after the initial b, we have the last b? That doesn't make sense. The structure is: the entire string is of the form: [b^m] [a^n] [b]. So for "ba": 
- We have a 'b' at the beginning: that would be the initial b's? But then we need an a^n and then a b at the end. The next character is 'a', so that's the a^n part. Then after the a's part we must have a single b? But after the 'a' in "ba", we have nothing, so there is no last b. Therefore, "ba" does not fit the pattern. So "ba" is not in L.

Thus, "ab" is in L but its reverse "ba" is not in L. But we are comparing L and L^R. 

Note: L^R = { b a^n b^m | n, m ≥0 } 
But note: in L^R, the string must start with b. Now, is "ab" in L^R? For L^R, the string must start with b, so "ab" starts with a, so not in L^R.

So for the word w = "ab": w ∈ L, but w ∉ L^R. Therefore L ≠ L^R. 

But we also note that there might be words in L^R that are not in L? For example, take w = "baa". In L^R: with n=2, m=0: start with b, then a^n (aa), and then b^0 (nothing) but that would be "baa"? Actually, L^R is b a^n b^m. So for example, "b" (n=0, m=0), "ba" (n=1, m=0), "bb" (n=0, m=1), "baa" (n=2, m=0) but note that for L^R, the exponent m can be zero. So "ba" is in L^R (with n=1, m=0) and "baa" (n=2, m=0) etc.

Now, is "ba" in L? As above: for L, we must end with b: yes. Then the form: how can we split? If we try to split into initial b's (m) then a's (n) then last b: for "ba":
- Either we take m=0: then the a's part must be such that after a's there is one b. But the string starts with a? Actually it starts with b. So option: m≥1: so one b at the beginning, then a's: one a, and then we expect one final b? But the entire string is only two characters: the first is b, the second is a. So we have no final b. Therefore, "ba" is not in L.

So we have:
- "ab" is in L but not in L^R (because L^R starts with b, and "ab" starts with a).
- "ba" is in L^R but not in L.

Therefore, L ≠ L^R.

So option 1 should be selected.

Option 2: L = { w ∈ Σ^* : w ≠ w^R } 
This is the set of non-palindrome strings.

What is L^R? 
L^R = { w^R | w is not a palindrome }.

But note: w is not a palindrome iff w ≠ w^R. 
But then, for any non-palindrome w, we have w^R is also a non-palindrome? Consider: if w is not a palindrome, then w ≠ w^R. Then the reverse of w^R is w, and since w ≠ w^R, then w^R ≠ (w^R)^R = w. So w^R is also not a palindrome. 

Moreover, every non-palindrome u can be written as w^R for w = u^R, and if u is not a palindrome, then u^R is also not a palindrome. 

Therefore, L = L^R.

Also, the set of palindromes is the complement. So indeed, the reverse of any non-palindrome is a non-palindrome. So L is closed under reversal. Therefore, L = L^R.

Hence, L = L^R.

So option 2: L = L^R.

Option 3: L = { u a v v | u,v ∈ Σ^* } 
Wait, the language is written as: { u a v v : u,v ∈ Σ^* } 
But that is ambiguous. It should be interpreted as: { u a v v : u, v are any strings over Σ } 

So any string that has an 'a' somewhere and then after that has two copies of the same string. So w = x a y y, for some x and y. Note: the two copies are at the end? Not necessarily: the structure is u, then an 'a', then v, then again v (the same v). So after the a, we have a string v repeated twice.

But note: the entire string need not end with vv: actually, it does. Because after the a we have vv. 

Now, what is L^R? 
We have: w ∈ L iff w = u a v v, then w^R = (vv)^R (a)^R u^R = (v^R)(v^R) (a) (u^R) = v^R v^R a u^R.

So L^R = { v^R v^R a u^R : u, v ∈ Σ^* } 
But note that u^R and v^R are just arbitrary strings (same as u and v). So we can reindex: let w' = u^R, and v' = v^R. Then:
L^R = { v' v' a w' : w', v' ∈ Σ^* }

So the strings in L^R are those that start with a repeated string and then an 'a' and then another string.

Now, is L = L^R? 

Consider a string in L: "a" is not in L? Because we need u a v v: at minimum we need at least the a and then a non-empty v doesn't work without having two copies. Wait, v can be empty? Since u,v ∈ Σ^*, v can be ε. Then u a ε ε = u a. So L contains all strings that end with an 'a'. Because we can take v=ε: then any u, and then a. So L includes all strings that end with 'a'. Also, it includes strings that end with some non-empty vv, and have an a somewhere.

But also: for example, w = u a v v. The minimal strings: 
- if v = ε, then w = u a. So any string ending with a is in L.
- if u is arbitrary and v is non-empty, then we have the form: ... a ... and then at the end two copies of the same string.

Now, L^R has the form: any string that starts with two copies of some string and then an 'a' and then anything. 

Therefore, we can easily find a word in L that is not in L^R.

Take w = "ba". 
- Is "ba" in L? Yes: let u = ε, v = ε? But then u a v v = ε a ε ε = a? No. For w = "ba": we need to break it as u a v v. If we take u = b, a = a? Then we need v and then v: but after a we have nothing. So we need v=ε: then u a ε ε = u a, so if u = b, then u a = ba, so yes, with v=ε. So "ba" is in L.

Now, is "ba" in L^R? L^R consists of strings that start with two copies of the same string? The form: v' v' a w'. So they must start with a repetition. But "ba" starts with "b", which is not a repetition. So "ba" is not in L^R.

Therefore, at least w="ba" is in L but not in L^R. 

So L ≠ L^R.

But we must check if there is any word that is in L^R and not in L? But we don't require both for the disequality since we already have one.

So option 3 is also L ≠ L^R.

Therefore, both options 1 and 3 should be selected.

But wait, the problem says: "Für welche der folgenden Sprachen L gilt L≠L^R". We have found that for option 1 and 3, L ≠ L^R, and for option 2, L = L^R.

So we mark option 1 and 3 as 1 (meaning selected, since they satisfy L≠L^R) and option 2 as 0.

Now for each selected language (1 and 3), we need to provide a word w that is in exactly one of L and L^R.

For option 1: we had w="ab": in L but not in L^R. But let's confirm:

L: the string "ab": is it of the form (b^m)(a^n)(b)? 
- We can take m=0 (no initial b's), a^n with n=1 (so "a"), then a "b". So "a" and then "b": "ab". So yes, in L.

L^R: the strings of form (b^?)(a^?)(b)? No: L^R = { b a^n b^m : n,m≥0 }. So a string must start with 'b'. But "ab" starts with 'a', so not in L^R.

So w = "ab" is a witness for language 1.

For option 3: we have w="ba". As above: "ba" is in L? 
L: { u a v v : u,v in Σ^* }
We can take u = "b", a = "a", v = ε: then u a v v = "b" a "" "" = "ba". So yes.

Is "ba" in L^R? L^R = { v' v' a w' : v', w' in Σ^* }
The string must start with two copies of some v'. But "ba" is two characters: it can be split as v' must be a string such that v'v' is at the beginning. If v' = "b", then we need "bb" as prefix? But the string is "ba", so it starts with "b", not "bb". If v'=ε, then we have εε, i.e., the empty string, then a and then w'. The string becomes: ∅∅ a w' = a w'. So the string must start with a. But "ba" does not start with a. Hence, "ba" is not in L^R.

So w="ba" for option 3.

But note: the problem says "Geben Sie außerdem für jede Sprache L, die Sie gewählt haben, ein Wort w an, das in genau einer der Sprachen L, L^R enthalten ist." 

And we are putting the word for each option in a single string. The answer template is:

<answer id="4">
1: ?
2: ?
3: ?
</answer>

But note: for option 2 we do not have a word because L = L^R. So we put '-' for it? But the template doesn't specify, but the hint says: "Um das Feld leerzulassen, geben Sie - an."

But the template is:

1: ?
2: ?
3: ?

So we have to assign for each option, but for option 2 we must put '-'. And for option 1 and 3 we put the witness word.

So:

1: ab
2: -
3: ba

Now, for the options we mark:

<option id="1">1</option>   because L != L^R
<option id="2">0</option>   because L = L^R
<option id="3">1</option>   because L != L^R

So the entire answer is:

<option id="1">1</option>
<option id="2">0</option>
<option id="3">1</option>
<answer id="4">
1: ab
2: -
3: ba
</answer>

But note: the template uses '?' so we replace with the appropriate word or '-'.

In the answer, for each language, we output the word. But language 2 is not selected, so we put '-'.

**Begründung für subproblem b:**

- **Option 1:** $L = L(b^*a^*b)$  
  Es gilt $L \neq L^R$, da z.B. $w = \texttt{ab}$ in $L$ enthalten ist, aber nicht in $L^R$:  
  - $w = \texttt{ab}$: In $L$ durch $u = \epsilon$ (leeres Wort), $a=\texttt{a}$, $v=\epsilon$ (da $b^*a^*b$ mit $b^0 = \epsilon$, $a^1 = \texttt{a}$, $b^1 = \texttt{b}$).  
  - $w^R = \texttt{ba}$: Nicht in $L^R$, da $L^R = \{b a^n b^m \mid n,m \geq 0\}$ mit Startzeichen $\texttt{b}$, aber $\texttt{ab}$ startet mit $\texttt{a}$.
  - Außerdem ist $\texttt{ba}$ in $L^R$ (mit $n=1, m=0$: $b a^1 b^0 = \texttt{ba}$), aber nicht in $L$, da $L$ verlangt, dass nach möglichen $\texttt{a}$'s am Ende $\texttt{b}$ steht, hier aber nach $\texttt{b}$ direkt $\texttt{a}$ folgt (kein abschließendes $\texttt{b}$ nach den $\texttt{a}$'s).

- **Option 2:** $L = \{w \in \Sigma^* \mid w \neq w^R\}$  
  Es gilt $L = L^R$, da für jedes $w \in L$ auch $w^R \in L$ (wenn $w$ kein Palindrom ist, dann auch $w^R$). Zwei Beispiele:  
  - Ist $w = \texttt{ab}$ (nicht-Palindrom), so $w^R = \texttt{ba} \neq w$, also $\texttt{ab} \in L$ und $\texttt{ba} \in L$.  
  - Analog: $w \in L \iff w^R \in L$, also $L = L^R$.  
  Daher hier $-$, da $L = L^R$.

- **Option 3:** $L = \{u a v v \mid u, v \in \Sigma^*\}$

Beweis für Sprache 3:
Wir zeigen, dass die Sprache $L = \{ a^i b^j c^k : (i \ne 1 \vee j = k) \wedge i,j,k \ge 0 \}$ nicht regulär ist, indem wir die Abschlusseigenschaften regulärer Sprachen nutzen. Betrachten wir die Sprache $L' = \{ w \in \Sigma^* : w \text{ hat die Form } a^i b^j c^k \text{ mit } i=1 \}$. Da $L'$ regulär ist (erkennbar durch einen endlichen Automaten, der prüft, dass das erste Zeichen $a$ ist und kein weiteres $a$ folgt, gefolgt von beliebig vielen $b$ und dann $c$), müssen wir den Schnitt $L \cap L'$ bilden:

**Begründung für subproblem b:**

- **Option 1:** $L = L(b^*a^*b)$  
  Es gilt $L \neq L^R$, da z.B. $w = \texttt{ab}$ in $L$ enthalten ist, aber nicht in $L^R$:  
  - $w = \texttt{ab}$: In $L$ durch $u = \epsilon$ (leeres Wort), $a=\texttt{a}$, $v=\epsilon$ (da $b^*a^*b$ mit $b^0 = \epsilon$, $a^1 = \texttt{a}$, $b^1 = \texttt{b}$).  
  - $w^R = \texttt{ba}$: Nicht in $L^R$, da $L^R = \{b a^n b^m \mid n,m \geq 0\}$ mit Startzeichen $\texttt{b}$, aber $\texttt{ab}$ startet mit $\texttt{a}$.
  - Außerdem ist $\texttt{ba}$ in $L^R$ (mit $n=1, m=0$: $b a^1 b^0 = \texttt{ba}$), aber nicht in $L$, da $L$ verlangt, dass nach möglichen $\texttt{a}$'s am Ende $\texttt{b}$ steht, hier aber nach $\texttt{b}$ direkt $\texttt{a}$ folgt (kein abschließendes $\texttt{b}$ nach den $\texttt{a}$'s).

- **Option 2:** $L = \{w \in \Sigma^* \mid w \neq w^R\}$  
  Es gilt $L = L^R$, da für jedes $w \in L$ auch $w^R \in L$ (wenn $w$ kein Palindrom ist, dann auch $w^R$). Zwei Beispiele:  
  - Ist $w = \texttt{ab}$ (nicht-Palindrom), so $w^R = \texttt{ba} \neq w$, also $\texttt{ab} \in L$ und $\texttt{ba} \in L$.  
  - Analog: $w \in L \iff w^R \in L$, also $L = L^R$.  
  Daher hier $-$, da $L = L^R$.

- **Option 3:** $L = \{u a v v \mid u, v \in \Sigma^*\}$  
  Es gilt $L \neq L^R$, da z.B. $w = \texttt{ba}$ in $L$ enthalten ist, aber nicht in $L^R$:  
  - $w = \texttt{ba}$: In $L$ durch $u = \texttt{b}$, $a = \texttt{a}$, $v = \epsilon$ (leeres Wort), ergibt $u a v v = \texttt{b} \cdot \texttt{a} \cdot \epsilon \cdot \epsilon = \texttt{ba}$.  
  - $w^R = \texttt{ab}$: Nicht in $L^R$, da $L^R = \{v' v' a u' \mid v', u' \in \Sigma^*\}$ am Anfang ein $v'v'$ erfordert (z.B. $\texttt{aa...}$ oder $\texttt{bb...}$), aber $\texttt{ba}$ startet mit $\texttt{b}$, nicht mit einer Wiederholung.  
  - Umgekehrt ist $\texttt{a}$ in $L^R$ (mit $v' = \epsilon$, $u' = \epsilon$: $\epsilon \cdot \epsilon \cdot a \cdot \epsilon = \texttt{a}$), aber nicht in $L$, da einfaches $\texttt{a}$ in $L$ eine Form $u a v v$ erfordert (nach $a$ muss $vv$ folgen, ist nicht vorhanden).

Thoughts

Wir betrachten die Sprachen, die von der Form sind: $ \{ w \in \Sigma^* : |L(M_w)|^2 = c \} $, wobei $c$ eine Konstante ist (25, 50, 100) und $M_w$ die Turingmaschine, die durch $w$ codiert wird.

 Zunächst ist zu beachten, dass $|L(M_w)|$ die Anzahl der Wörter in der Sprache von $M_w$ ist. Da es sich um eine quadratische Gleichung handelt, suchen wir nach der Anzahl der Wörter, deren Quadrat gleich $c$ ist. Das bedeutet, dass $|L(M_w)| = k$ mit $k^2 = c$, also $k = \sqrt{c}$. Da $c$ eine ganze Zahl ist, muss $\sqrt{c}$ ganzzahlig sein, damit es eine solche Zahl $k$ gibt.

 Überprüfen wir die gegebenen $c$:
 - $c=25$: $\sqrt{25}=5$ → ganzzahlig
 - $c=50$: $\sqrt{50} \approx 7.07$ → nicht ganzzahlig
 - $c=100$: $\sqrt{100}=10$ → ganzzahlig

 Für $c=50$ gibt es keine ganze Zahl $k$, so dass $k^2=50$. Daher ist die Menge $\{ w : |L(M_w)|^2 = 50 \} = \emptyset$, weil keine Turingmaschine eine Sprache mit einer Wortanzahl hat, deren Quadrat 50 ist (da die Wortanzahl immer eine ganze Zahl ist, und das Quadrat einer ganzen Zahl ist nie 50). Eine leere Sprache ist entscheidbar (da man für jedes Wort einfach "nein" sagt). Allerdings müssen wir bedenken, dass die Sprache hier über Codierungen von Turingmaschinen definiert ist. Aber wenn es keinen TM gibt, die die Bedingung erfüllt, dann ist die Menge aller $w$, für die $|L(M_w)|^2=50$ gilt, leer. Die leere Sprache ist trivialerweise entscheidbar (der Automat, der immer ablehnt). Also ist Sprache 2 entscheidbar.

 Für $c=25$ und $c=100$ ist $\sqrt{c}$ ganzzahlig (5 bzw. 10). Aber das bedeutet noch nicht, dass die Sprachen unentscheidbar sind.

 Es ist bekannt, dass das Problem, für eine gegebene Turingmaschine zu entscheiden, ob ihre Sprache genau $k$ Wörter enthält (d.h. endlich mit fester Größe), unentscheidbar ist. Genauer: das Problem $E_k = \{ \langle M \rangle : |L(M)| = k \}$ ist für jedes endliche $k \geq 0$ unentscheidbar. 

 Insbesondere für $k=0$ (Leerheitsproblem) ist es unentscheidbar. Für $k>0$ kann man eine Reduktion vom Leerheitsproblem oder vom Äquivalenzproblem machen.

 Beobachtung: Wenn man $k>0$ hat, dann kann man das Problem auf das Leerheitsproblem reduzieren? Nicht direkt. Aber es gibt eine Reduktion von einem unentscheidbaren Problem.

 Standardbeweis: Wir reduzieren das Halteproblem (oder besser: das Leerheitsproblem) auf das Problem, ob $|L(M)|=k$. 

 Beachte: Für $k=0$ ist es das Leerheitsproblem, das unentscheidbar ist. Für $k>0$ ist es auch unentscheidbar. 

 Beweis für $k>0$: Angenommen, $k \geq 1$ sei fest. Wir konstruieren eine Reduktion $\langle M, w \rangle$ zu einer Maschine $M'$, so dass $M'$ genau $k$ Wörter akzeptiert, genau dann, wenn $M$ das Wort $w$ akzeptiert.

 Sei $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k$ feste Wörter (z.B. $0, 00, \dots, 0^k$). Dann definiere $M'$ so:

 $M'$ bei Eingabe $x$:
 1. Simuliere $M$ auf $w$ (also das Eingabewort, für das wir testen, ob $M$ es akzeptiert) für $|x|$ Schritte. 
 2. Falls $M$ $w$ innerhalb von $|x|$ Schritten akzeptiert, dann akzeptiere $x$ genau dann, wenn $x$ eines der Wörter $a_1, ..., a_k$ ist.
 3. Falls $M$ $w$ nicht innerhalb von $|x|$ Schritten akzeptiert hat, dann akzeptiere $x$ nur wenn $x \in \{a_1, \dots, a_k\}$? Aber so hätte $M'$ immer mindestens $k$ Wörter.

 Stattdessen besser: Wir wollen, dass $M'$ genau $k$ Wörter akzeptiert, falls $M$ $w$ akzeptiert, und $0$ Wörter sonst? Das wäre nicht ganz, weil wir $k$ haben wollen.

 Wenn wir wollen, dass $|L(M')| = k$ gdw. $M$ hält und $w$ akzeptiert, aber was ist wenn nicht?

 Bessere Reduktion: 

 Wir konstruieren $M'$:

 - $M'$ hat $k$ Wörter $v_1, \dots, v_k$ (fixiert). 
 - $M'$ bei Eingabe $x$:
   - Falls $x$ nicht in $\{v_1, \dots, v_k\}$ ist, lehne ab.
   - Falls $x = v_i$ für ein $i$, dann simuliere $M$ auf $w$ für eine gewisse Anzahl von Schritten. Aber ohne Grenze? Wir müssen sicherstellen, dass $M'$ nur für diese $k$ Wörter überhaupt akzeptieren kann.

   Stattdessen: Wir lassen $M'$ parallel $M$ auf $w$ simulieren. Wenn $M$ jemals $w$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiert $M'$ alle Eingaben $v_i$ (für $i=1,\dots,k$). Wenn $M$ $w$ nicht akzeptiert, dann akzeptiert $M'$ höchstens $k-1$ von diesen Wörtern? Aber das ist willkürlich.

 Ein besserer Weg: 

 Sei $A$ ein unentscheidbares Problem, z.B. das spezifische Halteproblem (ob $M$ bei Eingabe $w$ hält und akzeptiert). Wir definieren $M'$ so:

 $M'$ bei Eingabe $x$:
  1. Simuliere $M$ auf $w$ bis es hält. (Wenn es nicht hält, dann läuft diese Simulation für immer, und $M'$ hält nicht.)
  2. Wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiere $x$ genau dann, wenn $x \in \{v_1, \dots, v_k\}$.

 Dann: 
   - Wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiert $M'$ genau $k$ Wörter (nämlich $v_1,\dots,v_k$).
   - Wenn $M$ $w$ nicht akzeptiert (entweder durch Absturz oder Endlosschleife), dann akzeptiert $M'$ keine Wörter.

 Aber Achtung: Wenn $M$ $w$ nicht akzeptiert, weil es in eine Endlosschleife geht, dann wird $M'$ in Schritt 1 für immer rechnen und niemals akzeptieren. Also $L(M') = \emptyset$.

 Was wir wollen, ist: $|L(M')| = k$ gdw. $M$ akzeptiert $w$. Hier haben wir: $M$ akzeptiert $w$ gdw. $|L(M')| = k$. 

 Allerdings: Wenn $M$ bei $w$ hält und ablehnt, dann akzeptiert $M'$ auch kein Wort (denn die Simulation hält, weist Ablehnung nach, und dann kommt das Akzeptieren nur bei Akzeptanz von $M$). Also: $|L(M')| = k$ genau dann, wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert.

 Also ist das Problem $\{ \langle M \rangle : |L(M)| = k\}$ für jedes $k$ unentscheidbar, weil man eine Reduktion vom Halteproblem machen kann (auch wenn $k=0$, dann ist es über Reduktion: $M$ akzeptiert $w$ gdw $L(M') = \emptyset$? Nicht ganz).

 Tatsächlich: Für $k=0$ ist es das leerheitsproblem (unentscheidbar). Für $k>0$ haben wir gezeigt: $\{ \langle M \rangle : |L(M)| = k\}$ ist unentscheidbar.

 In unserem Fall ist die Sprache $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2= c\}$ definiert. Für $c=25$ und $c=100$ gilt, dass $|L(M_w)|$ ganzen Werten 5 bzw. 10 entsprechen muss. Daher ist:

 $\{w: |L(M_w)|^2 = 25\} = \{w: |L(M_w)| = 5\}$.

 Und analog $\{w: |L(M_w)|^2 = 100\} = \{w: |L(M_w)| = 10\}$.

 Beide sind unentscheidbar, wie oben argumentiert.

 Aber für $c=50$ ist $\{w: |L(M_w)|^2 = 50\} = \emptyset$, weil es kein $k$ gibt mit $k^2=50$ (da $k$ ganze Zahl). Der Beweis dafür, dass $\sqrt{50}$ nicht ganzzahlig ist, ist klar. Also ist die Menge leer. Und die leere Sprache ist entscheidbar (durch den Automaten, der alle Wörter ablehnt). Daher ist Sprache 2 entscheidbar.

 Also: Option 1: unentscheidbar (da |L(M_w)|=5), Option 2: entscheidbar, Option 3: unentscheidbar (da |L(M_w)|=10).

 In der Aufgabenstellung: "kreuzen Sie alle zutreffenden an", also alle unentscheidbaren. Das sind Option 1 und 3.

 Wir wählen eine der beiden für den Beweis. Hier nehmen wir Sprache 1.

 Beweis für Sprache 1: $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$

 Das ist gleichbedeutend mit $\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|=5\}$.

 Um zu zeigen, dass diese Sprache unentscheidbar ist, reduzieren wir ein unentscheidbares Problem darauf. Das Problem, ob $|L(M)| = 0$ (Leerheitsproblem) ist unentscheidbar. Aber wir können auch direkt das Halteproblem reduzieren. Um die Ähnlichkeit zu wahren, reduzieren wir das Problem, ob $|L(M)|=0$ auf das Problem, ob $|L(M')|=5$. 

 Alternativ: Wir können eine Reduktion vom spezifischen Problemen zeigen. Da wir oben eine Reduktion vom spezifischen Halteproblem zu $|L(M)|=k$ (für ein festes $k$) angedeutet haben, können wir das verwenden.

 Formaler Beweis:

 Es ist zu zeigen: $L_1 = \{ \langle M \rangle : |L(M)| = 5 \}$ ist unentscheidbar.

 Beweis durch Reduktion vom Halteproblem (Kurzform: vom spezifischen Halteproblem). Sei $H$ das Halteproblem für das leere Band, d.h. $H = \{ \langle M \rangle : M \text{ hält auf dem leeren Band} \}$. (Oder wir nehmen das Leerheitsproblem, aber wir möchten auf Größe 5 statt 0 reduzieren.)

 In der Reduktion von oben:

 Sei $A$ ein unentscheidbares Problem, z.B. das spezifische Halteproblem: $H = \{ \langle M, w \rangle : M \text{ akzeptiert } w \}$. Wir konstruieren eine Reduktion $f: \langle M, w \rangle \mapsto \langle M' \rangle$. Hier definieren wir $M'$:

 Der TM-Code $M'$ (abhängig von $M$ und $w$): 

 Seien $v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4, v_5$ fünf fest gewählte, verschiedene Wörter über $\Sigma$ (z.B. $0,1,00,01,10$). 

 $M'$ arbeitet bei Eingabe $x$ wie folgt:
 1. Falls $x$ nicht eines der $v_1, ..., v_5$ ist, lehne ab.
 2. Für jedes $x$ in $\{v_1,...,v_5\}$: simuliere $M$ auf $w$ (bis zum Stillstand). 
 3. Akzeptiere dann nur, wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert. 

 Aber wenn wir das tun: 
   - Wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert, dann werden die fünf Wörter $v_i$ akzeptiert. Dann $|L(M')| = 5$.
   - Wenn $M$ $w$ ablehnt oder nicht hält, dann akzeptiert $M'$ keinen dieser Eingaben? 
      - Wenn $M$ $w$ ablehnt, dann akzeptiert $M'$ nicht (denn nach Schritt 3: akzeptiert nur bei Akzeptanz, und nach Ablehnung auch abgebrochen).
      - Aber wenn $M$ nicht hält, dann halten wir in Schritt 2 nicht, d.h. $M'$ hängt auf $x$ und akzeptiert nicht.

 Also: $|L(M')| = 5$ genau dann, wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert. Wenn $M$ $w$ ablehnt oder nicht hält, dann $|L(M')| = 0$. 

 Aber was wir genau brauchen: $M$ akzeptiert $w$ gdw $|L(M')|=5$. 

 Also: $\langle M,w \rangle \in H$ gdw $\langle M' \rangle \in L_1$.

 Da $H$ unentscheidbar ist, ist $L_1$ unentscheidbar.

 Beachte: Die Konstruktion ist berechenbar. 

 Wir können auch für $k=0$ reduzieren: Reduktion vom Leerheitsproblem $E = \{ \langle M \rangle : L(M) = \emptyset \}$.

 Gegeben eine TM $M$, wir konstruieren $M'$ so, dass $|L(M')|=5$ gdw $L(M)=\emptyset$? 

 Wir können stattdessen eine andere Konstruktion: 

 Sei $M$ eine TM. Definiere eine TM $M'$:

 $M'$ bei Eingabe $x$:
  1. Wenn $x$ eines der festen Wörter $v_1,...,v_5$ ist, dann akzeptiere.
  2. Sonst: simuliere $M$ auf $x$. Wenn $M$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiere $x$. (Wenn $M$ ablehnt oder nicht hält, wird auch abgelehnt).

 Dann:
   - Wenn $L(M)$ leer ist, dann akzeptiert $M'$ nur die fünf Wörter $v_1,...,v_5$ (da Schritt 2 nie zu Akzeptanz führt). Also $|L(M')| = 5$.
   - Wenn $L(M)$ nicht leer wäre, gibt es ein Wort $x_0 \in L(M)$ und $x_0 \notin \{v_1,\dots,v_5\}$. Dann wäre $|L(M')| \geq 6$? Wir haben mindestens $v_1,\dots,v_5$ und $x_0$ (wenn $x_0$ nicht in der Menge ist). Aber die Spezialwörter müssen so gewählt sein, dass sie keine Wörter aus $L(M)$ überschneiden? Wir haben keine Kontrolle über $L(M)$.

 Daher wäre $|L(M')|$ in diesem Fall mindestens 5, sogar mehr als 5. Wir haben also:
   - $L(M) = \emptyset$ gdw. $|L(M')| = 5$.

 Denn: 
   - Wenn $L(M) = \emptyset$, dann in Schritt 2 wird nie akzeptiert -> $L(M') = \{v_1,...,v_5\}$ -> |L(M')|=5.
   - Wenn $L(M) \neq \emptyset$, dann gibt es $x \notin \{v_1,\dots,v_5\}$ (denn die Menge der Wörter ist unendlich) so dass $x \in L(M)$, dann $x \in L(M')$. Zusätzlich enthält $L(M')$ die $v_i$. Also $|L(M')| \geq 6$ (weil $x$ verschieden von den $v_i$). Also $|L(M')| \neq 5$.

 Daraus folgt die Äquivalenz. 

 Somit: Da das Leerheitsproblem unentscheidbar ist, ist auch $\{ w : |L(M_w)| = 5\}$ unentscheidbar.

 Wir wählen Sprache 1 für den Beweis.

Beweis für Sprache 1:
Wir zeigen, dass die Sprache $L_1 = \{ \langle M \rangle : |L(M)|^2 = 25 \} = \{ \langle M \rangle : |L(M)| = 5 \}$ unentscheidbar ist. 
Dazu reduzieren wir das Leerheitsproblem $E = \{ \langle M \rangle : L(M) = \emptyset \}$ auf $L_1$. Sei $v_1, \dots, v_5$ fünf paarweise verschiedene Wörter über $\Sigma$, z.B. $v_i = 0^i$ für $i=1,\dots,5$. 

Konstruiere zu einer gegebenen Turingmaschine $M$ eine neue Maschine $M'$ wie folgt:
$M'$ bei Eingabe $x$:
1. Wenn $x \in \{v_1, \dots, v_5\}$, dann akzeptiere.
2. Sonst: simuliere $M$ auf $x$. Wenn $M$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiere $x$; sonst lehne ab oder halte nicht an (dann wird auch abgelehnt, wenn $M$ nicht hält).

Nun gilt:
- Ist $L(M) = \emptyset$, so akzeptiert $M'$ nur die Eingaben $v_1,\dots,v_5$. Also $|L(M')| = 5$.
- Ist $L(M) \neq \emptyset$, so gibt es ein Wort $x_0 \in L(M)$. Falls $x_0 \notin \{v_1, \dots, v_5\}$, so ist $x_0 \in L(M')$ und somit $|L(M')| \geq 6$ (da $x_0$ ein weiteres akzeptiertes Wort ist). Gäbe es ein $x_0$ in der Menge $\{v_1,\dots,v_5\}$, so ist $x_0$ in Schritt 1 bereits akzeptiert, die Menge ändert sich nicht. Aber wir müssen sicherstellen, dass die $v_i$ nicht in $L(M)$ sind? Das kann nicht garantiert werden, aber die Menge $L(M')$ enthält also mindestens die $v_i$, und wenn $x_0$ ein akzeptiertes Wort von $M$ ist, dann gibt es zwei Fälle:
    a) $x_0 \in \{v_1, \dots, v_5\}$: dann stimmt die Menge, und $L(M')=\{v_1,\dots,v_5\}$? Dann |L(M')|=5. Das würde nicht funktionieren.

 Die Konstruktion muss verbessert werden: Die Wörter $v_i$ müssen außerhalb des Definitionsbereichs von $M$ sein? Besser: wir wählen die $v_i$ so, dass sie in keinem Konflikt mit Wörtern stehen, die von $M$ akzeptiert werden? Da wir $v_i$ fest wählen, können $M$ vielleicht eines ihrer Wörter akzeptieren.

 Stattdessen: Konstruktion mit einer anderen Menge:

 Ein Möglichkeit: 
   Die Wörter $v_1, ..., v_5$ sind Wörter, die garantiert nicht im Alphabet von $M$ vorkommen! Das ist nicht möglich, da das Alphabet $\Sigma=\{0,1\}$ festgelegt ist. 

 Alternative: Wir setzen die $v_i$ als Teilmenge von $L(M')$ in erster Stufe, aber stellen sicher, dass sie nicht in $L(M)$ liegen durch eine Transformation.

 Besser: Reduktion aus unserem ersten Ansatz, der vom Halteproblem (mit einem speziellen Wort) kommt.

 In der Reduktion von oben (erste Reduktion):

 Wir haben: definiere $M'$ so, dass:

 $M'$ bei Eingabe $x$:
   - Falls $x \notin \{v_1, \dots, v_5\}$, lehne ab.
   - Falls $x = v_i$ für ein $i$, dann simuliere $M$ auf $w$ (dem leeren Band? oder fixen $w$).
   - Akzeptiere $x$ nur wenn in der Simulation $M$ auf $w$ akzeptiert.

 Also: 
   - Wenn $M$ $w$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiert $M'$ alle $v_i$. → |L(M')|=5
   - Wenn $M$ $w$ nicht akzeptiert, dann akzeptiert $M'$ keinen der $v_i$ oder irgendein Wort, also $|L(M')|=0$

 Also: $ \langle M, w \rangle \in H $ gdw $ \langle M' \rangle \in L_1$.

 Daher: Wenn wir die Sprache $L_1$ entscheiden könnten, dann entscheiden wir $H$.

 Da $H$ unentscheidbar ist, ist $L_1$ unentscheidbar.

 Also schreiben wir:

Wir reduzieren das spezifische Halteproblem $H = \{ \langle M, w \rangle : M \text{ akzeptiert } w\}$ auf die Sprache $L_1 = \{ \langle N \rangle : |L(N)| = 5\}$. 
Sei $v_1, \dots, v_5$ fünf fest gewählte verschiedene Wörter über $\Sigma$ (z.B. $0, 1, 00, 01, 10$). 
Konstruiere zu $M$ und $w$ eine Turingmaschine $M'$: 
Bei Eingabe $x$: 
  1. Falls $x \notin \{v_1, \dots, v_5\}$, lehne ab. 
  2. Andernfalls (d.h. $x$ ist eines der $v_i$): simuliere $M$ auf Eingabe $w$ (d.h. das Fixe Wort); wenn $M$ den Berechnung akzeptiert, dann akzeptiere; sonst lehne ab. 

Es gilt: 
- Wenn $M$ die Eingabe $w$ akzeptiert, dann akzeptiert $M'$ alle $v_i$ (und sonst nichts) → $|L(M')| = 5$. 
- Wenn $M$ $w$ nicht akzeptiert (d.h. ablehnt, oder in Endlosschleife), dann akzeptiert $M'$ kein einziges Wort (denn für $x\notin\{v_1,\dots,v_5\}$ lehnt es ab, und für $x$ in der Menge lehnt es ab oder hängt) → $|L(M')| = 0 \neq 5$. 

Also gilt: $\langle M, w \rangle \in H$ gdw. $\langle M' \rangle \in L_1$. 
Da $H$ unentscheidbar ist, ist $L_1$ unentscheidbar.

 Dieses Argument funktioniert. 

 Und für die zweite Sprache ($|L(M)|=10$) analog.

Beweis für Sprache 1:
Wir reduzieren das spezifische Halteproblem $H = \{\langle M, w\rangle : M \text{ akzeptiert } w\}$ auf die Sprache $L_1 = \{\langle M' \rangle : |L(M')|^2 = 25\} = \{\langle M' \rangle : |L(M')| = 5\}$.

Seien $v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4, v_5$ fünf verschiedene Wörter in $\Sigma^*$, zum Beispiel $\varepsilon, 0, 1, 00, 01$ (das leere Wort ist erlaubt). 

Zu einer Turingmaschine $M$ und einem Wort $w$ konstruieren wir eine neue Maschine $N_{M,w}$:

$N_{M,w}$ bei Eingabe $x$:
1. Wenn $x \notin \{v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4, v_5\}$, weise $x$ ab.
2. Wenn $x = v_i$ für ein $i \in \{1,2,3,4,5\}$, so simuliere die Berechnung von $M$ auf Eingabe $w$. Falls $M$ $w$ akzeptiert, akzeptiere $x$; andernfalls lehne ab.

Nun gilt:
- Falls $M$ $w$ akzeptiert: $N_{M,w}$ akzeptiert alle Eingaben $v_i$, es gilt also $|L(N_{M,w})| = 5$.
- Falls $M$ $w$ ablehnt oder nicht hält: $N_{M,w}$ akzeptiert keine Eingabe; folglich $|L(N_{M,w})| = 0$.

Damit gilt: $\langle M, w\rangle \in H$ genau dann, wenn $\langle N_{M,w} \rangle \in L_1$. Weil $H$ unentscheidbar ist, kann $L_1$ nicht entscheidbar sein.

Thoughts

**Analyzing Language Properties**

I've started by examining the first language, $L_1$. It looks like I should attempt to prove its regularity or non-regularity by using the Pumping Lemma. I'm currently trying to identify a suitable "pumping length" and a test string to show $L_1$ isn't regular, assuming that's the right approach. I'm thinking about using $a^n b^n c^n$.

**Decomposing $L_1$**

I'm focusing on $L_1$'s complement, $L_1^c$, to simplify the analysis. I've realized that if I can show the non-regularity of $L_1^c$, that also indicates the non-regularity of $L_1$. I'm trying to find a strategy, possibly using the Pumping Lemma, to prove $L_1^c$ isn't regular. I'm exploring the behavior of strings containing different amounts of 'a's and the "aba" substring.

**Considering Complex Strings**

I'm currently contemplating the makeup of $L_1^c$ in order to apply the Pumping Lemma more effectively. I see that, in order for strings to be members, there's a critical relationship between the number of 'a's and "aba" substrings. To formalize this relationship, I'm looking for patterns that might emerge in strings like 'ababa'.

**Assessing $L_1$ Structure**

I'm currently focused on proving the non-regularity of $L_1^c$ using the Pumping Lemma. I'm trying to construct a string that would lead to a contradiction. The string $(aba)^k$ does not fit the requirements, as well as $(ababa)^k$. I'm trying to identify the conditions that make an $aba$ substring to occur, to formalize a hypothesis about $L_1^c$'s non-regularity.

**Examining $L_1$ and $L_1^c$**

I'm pivoting my approach. Analyzing the structure of the language $L_1^c$ is still my focus. I've just determined that the string $(aba)^k$ and the string $(ababa)^k$ are helpful to determine the structure of $L_1^c$ as a means to determine regularity of $L_1$. Now, I need a different approach to prove $L_1$ isn't regular.

**Evaluating the Languages**

I'm diving into $L_1$ and its complement to determine their regularity. I'm trying to devise a strategy to show that $L_1$ is not regular. It looks like strings like $(aba)^k$ might be key. I'm trying to analyze which strings belong to the language.

**Finalizing the Approach**

I've determined the structure of $L_1$ and $L_1^c$. I'm convinced that $L_1^c$ contains all strings with no 'a's, making it regular. Consequently, $L_1$ is also regular. I'm confident with the answer.

**Final Analysis Completed**

I've concluded my analysis. The complement, $L_1^c$, consists only of strings without 'a's, making it regular. Consequently, both $L_1$ and $L_1^c$ are regular languages. The answer is certain.

**Revisiting $L_1$'s Structure**

I've simplified my understanding of $L_1^c$. It's now clear that the only strings satisfying $|w|_{aba} = |w|_a$ are those without any 'a's. Thus, $L_1^c$ is regular and I can safely conclude the same for $L_1$, using regular language properties.

**Evaluating Palindromes**

I'm now focused on the second language, $L_2$, involving palindromes. Since $L_2$ is a Kleene star over palindromes, I'm investigating its structure to determine if it's regular or not.

**Refining the Proof**

I'm still working through the analysis of $L_1$. My initial approach was incorrect. I'm currently focusing on the structure of strings in $L_1^c$ and how this relates to strings with 'a's.

**Re-evaluating $L_3$**

I'm currently simplifying the analysis of $L_3$ by examining the string $ab^jc^k$ and the condition where if $i=1$ then $j=k$. I'm trying to apply the pumping lemma and dissect its impact on proving $L_3$'s non-regularity.

**Evaluating Complement Languages**

I'm refining my approach to $L_1$, focusing on the complement language, which consists of strings where the number of "aba" substrings does *not* equal the number of 'a's. I'm still trying to determine the best way to demonstrate this.

**Revisiting Language Properties**

I'm re-examining the relationships between $L_1^c$ and $L_1$ to determine their regularity. It seems crucial to understand the strings generated with 'a's and their impacts on the "aba" count.

**Re-examining $L_3$**

I'm focusing on $L_3$, particularly strings of the form $ab^jc^k$ where if $i=1$, then $j=k$. This should help expose the non-regular nature of this language, given my prior analysis. I'm using the pumping lemma to show this language is not regular.

**Refining $L_3$ Analysis**

I'm revisiting the dissection of $L_3$, specifically the form $ab^jc^k$. The condition to be considered is when $i$ equals to $1$. I'm confident that the pumping lemma will unveil the non-regular nature of this language.

**Verifying the Proofs**

I'm currently re-examining the proofs. I've reconfirmed that $L_1$ is regular, and $L_2$ is also regular due to it equaling $\Sigma^*$. However, the proof for $L_3$ required additional focus on intersecting with $ab^*c^*$ to demonstrate the non-regularity, making the conclusion certain.

**Refining $L_3$ Analysis**

I'm focusing on $L_3$, again with $L_3' = L_3 \cap ab^*c^*$. Proving $L_3$ not regular requires showing the intersection $L_3'$ with $ab^*c^*$ is not regular. I will now apply the pumping lemma to $L_3'$, where strings have the form $ab^jc^j$.

**Refining $L_1$**

I've re-examined $L_1$ using its complement. Considering strings with no 'a's and strings with at least one 'a', I'm now more convinced that $L_1$ is regular, but it requires additional verification.

**Confirming Non-Regularity**

I've gone through the process of simplifying $L_3$ by intersecting it with $ab^*c^*$. This approach reveals a non-regular component, which involves pumping strings and demonstrating the pumping lemma's failure. I'm now more certain in the final answer.

**Reviewing $L_3$ Again**

I'm back to assessing $L_3$, now focusing on strings of the form $a^1b^jc^k$. My goal is to dissect $L_3$ using the pumping lemma to prove its non-regularity; it seems I will need to show $L_3 \cap ab^*c^*$ to be not regular, and use this as a basis.

**Verifying the Analysis**

I'm re-evaluating the final assertions. The Pumping Lemma seems correct for $L_3$, solidifying its non-regular nature. I will now confidently select this as my answer and revisit the analysis for any potential errors.

**Evaluating $L_1$**

I've focused on refining the proof for $L_1$. It seems that all strings in $L_1^c$, consisting of strings that do not contain the substring 'aba' must be in $\{b,c\}^*$, making it regular. This strengthens my confidence that $L_1$ is indeed regular.

**Refining $L_3$ Proof**

I'm focused on crafting the formal proof for $L_3$'s non-regularity. My approach involves intersecting it with $a b^* c^*$, leading to $L' = \{a b^j c^j \mid j \ge 0\}$. I plan to apply the Pumping Lemma to $L'$, where the pumping of the 'b's will ultimately lead to a contradiction, thereby completing the demonstration.

**Verifying the Analysis**

I've re-evaluated the languages based on the intersection with $ab^*c^*$ for $L_3$, and the properties of palindromes for $L_2$, now more confident with all the conclusions and proofs.

**Concluding the Exam**

I've finalized my analysis and the accompanying proof. $L_1$ and $L_2$ are both regular, while $L_3$ is not. I've prepared a complete and correct proof of the non-regularity of $L_3$.

**Concluding L3's Non-Regularity**

I've meticulously analyzed $L_3$ through intersection with $ab^*c^*$, establishing $L_3' = \{a b^j c^j \mid j \ge 0\}$. This allows me to leverage the Pumping Lemma, constructing a formal proof that $L_3$, and consequently $L_3'$, are not regular. The core of the proof lies in showing that strings like $ab^pc^p$ cannot be pumped without violating $L_3'$'s structure.

**Formulating a Proof**

I'm now carefully constructing the proof demonstrating $L_3$'s non-regularity. My main goal is to use the Pumping Lemma, but it's proving a bit intricate.

**Confirming Final Proofs**

I've finished the analysis, concluding that $L_1$ and $L_2$ are regular, while $L_3$ isn't. I'm confident with the provided proof for the non-regularity of $L_3$.

**Finalizing Proofs**

I've confirmed that $L_1$ and $L_2$ are regular, while $L_3$ is non-regular. I'm certain of the comprehensive proof demonstrating $L_3$'s non-regularity, and am prepared to deliver the final answer.

**Refining Proof Structure**

I'm re-examining the approach to the Pumping Lemma. My goal is to refine the proof structure to ensure the argument is as clear and correct as possible. I'm focused on demonstrating that the pumping lemma can't be applied on $L_3$ by dissecting strings from it, specifically $ab^jc^j$.

**Revising Proof Strategy**

I'm refining my approach to show $L_3$ is not regular. I'll formally construct the proof using the Pumping Lemma, focusing on the intersection with $R=ab^*c^*$. The goal is to show $L_3 \cap R$ is not regular. I believe I've identified the correct string to test, $ab^pc^p$.

**Verifying the Solution**

I'm now thoroughly checking the answer's internal consistency, ensuring it meets all requirements. I'm carefully verifying the code, and the proofs, to make sure everything is complete. I have a high degree of confidence in the final answer.

**Evaluating the Proof's Structure**

I'm organizing the proof of $L_3$'s non-regularity using the Pumping Lemma. I'm focusing on the contradiction arising from the pumping process and how this applies to the strings of the form $ab^jc^j$.

<answer id="4">
Beweis für Sprache 3:
Wir beweisen, dass die Sprache $L_3 = \{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$ nicht regulär ist.
Hierfür zeigen wir, dass der Schnitt von $L_3$ mit einer regulären Sprache eine bekannte nicht-reguläre Sprache ergibt. Da reguläre Sprachen unter dem Schnitt abgeschlossen sind, beweist dies, dass $L_3$ nicht regulär sein kann.

Sei $R$ die reguläre Sprache, die durch den regulären Ausdruck $ab^*c^*$ beschrieben wird. Also $R = \{a^1b^jc^k \mid j, k \ge 0\}$.
Wir betrachten die Sprache $L' = L_3 \cap R$. Wenn $L_3$ regulär wäre, müsste auch $L'$ regulär sein.

Ein Wort $w=a^ib^jc^k$ liegt in $L'$, wenn es sowohl in $L_3$ als auch in $R$ liegt.
Die Zugehörigkeit zu $R$ erfordert $i=1$.
Setzen wir $i=1$ in die Bedingung für $L_3$, $(i\ne 1\vee j=k)$, ein, erhalten wir $(1\ne 1\vee j=k)$, was zu $(\text{falsch} \vee j=k)$ und somit zu $j=k$ vereinfacht wird.
Ein Wort liegt also in $L'$, wenn es die Form $a^1b^jc^k$ mit $j=k$ hat.
Somit ist $L' = \{ab^jc^j \mid j \ge 0\}$.

Wir beweisen nun mit dem Pumping-Lemma, dass $L'$ nicht regulär ist.
Angenommen, $L'$ ist regulär. Dann gibt es eine Pumping-Länge $p \ge 1$.
Wir wählen das Wort $s = ab^pc^p$. Offensichtlich gilt $s \in L'$ und $|s| = 1+2p \ge p$.
Gemäß dem Pumping-Lemma existiert eine Zerlegung $s=xyz$ mit den Eigenschaften:
1. $|xy| \le p$
2. $|y| \ge 1$
3. $xy^k z \in L'$ für alle $k \ge 0$.

Wegen $|xy| \le p$ und der Gestalt von $s = ab^p c^p$, muss die Teilzeichenkette $y$ innerhalb des Präfixes $ab^{p-1}$ liegen (für $p \ge 2$; für $p=1$ ist $s=abc$ und $|xy| \le 1$, also $y=a$).
Wir analysieren die möglichen Inhalte von $y$:

*   **Fall 1: $y$ enthält das Zeichen 'a'.**
    Wenn $y$ das 'a' enthält (z.B. $y=a$ oder $y=ab^m$), dann enthält das Wort $xy^0z = xz$ kein 'a' mehr, oder das Wort $xy^2z$ enthält eine ungültige Zeichenreihenfolge wie 'ba' oder mehrere 'a's. In jedem Fall ist das Ergebnis nicht von der Form $ab^jc^j$ und liegt somit nicht in $L'$. Dies widerspricht Eigenschaft 3 des Pumping-Lemmas.

*   **Fall 2: $y$ besteht nur aus 'b's.**
    Dies ist die einzig verbleibende Möglichkeit. Dann hat die Zerlegung die Form $x=ab^u$, $y=b^v$, $z=b^{p-u-v}c^p$ mit $u \ge 0, v \ge 1$ und $u+v \le p-1$.
    Wir betrachten das Wort $s' = xy^2z = ab^u(b^v)^2b^{p-u-v}c^p = ab^{p+v}c^p$.
    In $s'$ ist die Anzahl der 'b's gleich $p+v$, während die Anzahl der 'c's $p$ beträgt. Da $v \ge 1$, ist $p+v \ne p$. Folglich hat $s'$ nicht die Form $ab^jc^j$ und ist somit nicht in $L'$. Dies widerspricht ebenfalls Eigenschaft 3 des Pumping-Lemmas.

Da für jede mögliche Zerlegung von $s$ ein Widerspruch entsteht, kann die Annahme, dass $L'$ regulär ist, nicht korrekt sein.
Da $L' = L_3 \cap R$ nicht regulär ist und $R$ regulär ist, folgt daraus, dass $L_3$ nicht regulär sein kann.

Beweis für Sprache 3:
Wir beweisen, dass die Sprache $L_3 = \{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$ nicht regulär ist.
Hierfür zeigen wir, dass der Schnitt von $L_3$ mit einer regulären Sprache eine bekannte nicht-reguläre Sprache ergibt. Da reguläre Sprachen unter dem Schnitt abgeschlossen sind, beweist dies, dass $L_3$ nicht regulär sein kann.

Sei $R$ die reguläre Sprache, die durch den regulären Ausdruck $ab^*c^*$ beschrieben wird. Also $R = \{a^1b^jc^k \mid j, k \ge 0\}$.
Wir betrachten die Sprache $L' = L_3 \cap R$. Wenn $L_3$ regulär wäre, müsste auch $L'$ regulär sein.

Ein Wort $w=a^ib^jc^k$ liegt in $L'$, wenn es sowohl in $L_3$ als auch in $R$ liegt.
Die Zugehörigkeit zu $R$ erfordert $i=1$.
Setzen wir $i=1$ in die Bedingung für $L_3$, $(i\ne 1\vee j=k)$, ein, erhalten wir $(1\ne 1\vee j=k)$, was zu $(\text{falsch} \vee j=k)$ und somit zu $j=k$ vereinfacht wird.
Ein Wort liegt also in $L'$, wenn es die Form $a^1b^jc^k$ mit $j=k$ hat.
Somit ist $L' = \{ab^jc^j \mid j \ge 0\}$.

Wir beweisen nun mit dem Pumping-Lemma, dass $L'$ nicht regulär ist.
Angenommen, $L'$ ist regulär. Dann gibt es eine Pumping-Länge $p \ge 1$.
Wir wählen das Wort $s = ab^pc^p$. Offensichtlich gilt $s \in L'$ und $|s| = 1+2p \ge p$.
Gemäß dem Pumping-Lemma existiert eine Zerlegung $s=xyz$ mit den Eigenschaften:
1. $|xy| \le p$
2. $|y| \ge 1$
3. $xy^k z \in L'$ für alle $k \ge 0$.

Wegen $|xy| \le p$ und der Gestalt von $s = ab^p c^p$, muss die Teilzeichenkette $y$ innerhalb des Präfixes $ab^{p-1}$ liegen (für $p \ge 2$; für $p=1$ ist $s=abc$ und $|xy| \le 1$, also $y=a$).
Wir analysieren die möglichen Inhalte von $y$:

*   **Fall 1: $y$ enthält das Zeichen 'a'.**
    Wenn $y$ das 'a' enthält (z.B. $y=a$ oder $y=ab^m$), dann enthält das Wort $xy^0z = xz$ kein 'a' mehr, oder das Wort $xy^2z$ enthält eine ungültige Zeichenreihenfolge wie 'ba' oder mehrere 'a's. In jedem Fall ist das Ergebnis nicht von der Form $ab^jc^j$ und liegt somit nicht in $L'$. Dies widerspricht Eigenschaft 3 des Pumping-Lemmas.

*   **Fall 2: $y$ besteht nur aus 'b's.**
    Dies ist die einzig verbleibende Möglichkeit. Dann hat die Zerlegung die Form $x=ab^u$, $y=b^v$, $z=b^{p-u-v}c^p$ mit $u \ge 0, v \ge 1$ und $u+v \le p-1$.
    Wir betrachten das Wort $s' = xy^2z = ab^u(b^v)^2b^{p-u-v}c^p = ab^{p+v}c^p$.
    In $s'$ ist die Anzahl der 'b's gleich $p+v$, während die Anzahl der 'c's $p$ beträgt. Da $v \ge 1$, ist $p+v \ne p$. Folglich hat $s'$ nicht die Form $ab^jc^j$ und ist somit nicht in $L'$. Dies widerspricht ebenfalls Eigenschaft 3 des Pumping-Lemmas.

Da für jede mögliche Zerlegung von $s$ ein Widerspruch entsteht, kann die Annahme, dass $L'$ regulär ist, nicht korrekt sein.
Da $L' = L_3 \cap R$ nicht regulär ist und $R$ regulär ist, folgt daraus, dass $L_3$ nicht regulär sein kann.

Thoughts

**Evaluating Language Reversals**

I'm currently focused on determining if the languages' reversals are identical to the original languages. I'm starting with $L_1 = L(b^*a^*b)$. My approach involves considering strings and their reversals to see if they all belong to the language.

**Differentiating Reversals**

I've compared the languages $L_1$ and $L_1^R$. I generated example strings and their reversals for better clarity. I concluded that since $aab$ is in $L_1$ but not in $L_1^R$, the languages differ. I am ready to move on to the next language.

**Comparing Non-Palindromes**

I've realized that $L_2$ includes all strings except palindromes. Reversing $L_2$ means reversing each string, which, since the original strings aren't palindromes, results in a different string. Hence, $L_2^R$ is also the set of non-palindromes, and $L_2=L_2^R$. This indicates that the language's reversal will be identical.

**Refining Non-Palindrome Analysis**

I'm expanding on the proof for $L_2$, aiming for absolute certainty. I've demonstrated $L_2 = L_2^R$ by showing that the reversal of any non-palindrome is also a non-palindrome. Now, I'm looking for potential edge cases, ensuring the logic holds universally.

**Examining $L_3$ and Reversals**

I'm now focused on $L_3 = \{uavv \}$. I'm analyzing words that can be represented this way. Then, the reversal will be $v^R v^R a u^R$. It is becoming clear to me that this will not be equal to the original language. The final character must always be an `a` in $L_3$, so I can find an obvious counterexample.

**Assessing $L_3$ Divergence**

I'm examining $L_3$ and the implications of its reversal. Focusing on the structure of the language, specifically $L_3 = \{uavv\}$, it's become apparent that the reversal, $L_3^R$, will involve a duplicated prefix ending in 'a'. The different structures of $L_3$ and $L_3^R$ suggest non-equality.

**Reflecting on Divergence**

I've analyzed the languages to find those not equal to their reversals. For $L_1$, $L_1 \ne L_1^R$, with $aab$ as a witness. I confirmed $L_2 = L_2^R$. Lastly, for $L_3$, I found that $L_3 \ne L_3^R$, using 'ba' as the distinguishing word.

**Confirming Non-Palindromes**

I'm now rigorously demonstrating that reversing a non-palindrome yields another non-palindrome, solidifying my understanding of the language equality in $L_2$. This should provide the proof I need.

**Finalizing Reversal Assessments**

I've now re-examined all three languages and finalized the assessment, confirming which ones are not equal to their reversals. For $L_1$, with $L_1= L(b^*a^*b)$, I found $L_1 \ne L_1^R$, using "aab" as a witness. For $L_2$, I found $L_2 = L_2^R$. Lastly, $L_3 \ne L_3^R$, with "ba" as a distinguisher.

**Verifying Witness Correctness**

I've re-examined the provided witnesses for $L_1$ and $L_3$, ensuring they are valid and that each language is not equivalent to its reversal. The analysis confirms my choice of "aab" for $L_1$ and "ba" for $L_3$ is correct.

**Verifying Language Witnesses**

I'm now focused on verifying the provided witnesses, ensuring that they confirm $L_1 \ne L_1^R$ and $L_3 \ne L_3^R$. This involves confirming each word's membership in the original language and its exclusion from the reversed one.

**Assessing the Languages**

I'm now concentrating on the specific properties of each language to determine its reversal's equivalence. I've already tackled $L_1, L_2,$ and $L_3$ with respect to reversal, and now I'm checking the provided information, preparing to deliver the requested results, including witnesses.

**Reflecting on the Results**

I've re-examined all options, confirming my earlier conclusions, with witnesses. I'm now confident in my selection of languages and witnesses. All checks have been performed, and I am preparing to submit.

**Reflecting on Final Results**

I've finalized all the evaluations regarding language reversals, ensuring the chosen options are correct. All the results, including the witnesses for each language, are complete and verified. I am confident with these answers.

**Confirming the Final Answers**

I'm reviewing all the information. I'm certain the final answer should include options 1 and 3, with witnesses "aab" and "ba" respectively. This confirms that I have correctly assessed all language reversals.

**Confirming Final Assessments**

I've reviewed the work, verifying both the assessments of each language and the chosen witnesses. All the conditions have been met, confirming the correct choices. I am now ready to submit the results.

**Confirming Language Results**

I'm now confident in my assessment of the languages, the witnesses, and their reversals. I've verified my reasoning and ready to submit the final results for each language.

**Refining Final Assessments**

I'm now reviewing all the final evaluations, ensuring that I've addressed the language reversals accurately. I am ready to submit my final results and the supporting evidence.

**Analyzing Final Assessments**

I'm confident about my finalized assessments regarding language reversals. All three languages have been thoroughly examined, the correct choices are ready, and I'm now focused on the final submission.

**Verifying All Answers**

I'm now meticulously reviewing all languages, confirming the provided results and verifying witness correctness. I'm also checking all the examples to ensure each answer is correct before final submission.

**Evaluating Witnesses**

I'm revisiting the witnesses for each language to solidify my argument about which languages differ from their reversals. I want to confirm each witness is valid and demonstrates that the language does not equal its reversal.

**Confirming Language Assessments**

I've now confirmed all the answers for each language and selected the corresponding witnesses, ensuring the accuracy of the final output. I am ready to finalize my submission.

**Reviewing the Final Results**

I'm reviewing all the previous work to ensure I haven't missed any details in the language assessments and have the correct witnesses. I will double-check the selections and results for the final answer.

**Reviewing Witness Accuracy**

I'm now verifying that the proposed witnesses precisely demonstrate that the languages do not equal their reversals. I'll methodically check each witness.

**Reviewing Witness Correctness**

I'm revisiting my witness selections for each language to verify their accuracy and ensure they demonstrate the language's distinction from its reversal. I will confirm their presence in the original language while ensuring exclusion from the reversed version.

**Reviewing Final Answers**

I'm now reviewing the final choices. I'm sure about L1 and L3's behavior regarding reversal. I have the correct witnesses and will proceed with the submission, confident that my analysis is accurate.

**Reviewing Witness Verification**

I'm now thoroughly checking the chosen witnesses to ensure they definitively demonstrate the non-equivalence of a language and its reversal. I am confident in my final answers now, but I'm still doing the final checks.

**Reflecting on Submission**

I'm now ready to submit the completed results, having meticulously reviewed and confirmed the accuracy of all assessments. The languages, their reversals, and the corresponding witnesses have been thoroughly checked, ensuring a reliable submission.

**Concluding Language Assessments**

I've thoroughly re-evaluated all my analyses of the three languages, double-checking both the checkmarks and witness words. I am now certain the final answers accurately address the question.

**Summarizing the Process**

I'm now finished with the evaluation and confirming the final answers. I will now proceed to write the code to finalize the submission, including providing the correct witness.

Thoughts

**Assessing Non-Regularity**

I've begun by listing the candidate non-regular languages based on their structure, and I'm preparing to prove the non-regularity of one using the pumping lemma. I'm focusing on crafting the proof carefully to ensure clarity and rigor.

**Examining $L_1$ Structure**

I'm currently focused on $L_1$ from the list, attempting to characterize its properties by analyzing the counts of 'a' and "aba" substrings. Initial attempts involved looking at words in the complement, but I'm now directly testing words like "cabac" against the condition. I believe it's regular. I'll need to verify by designing a DFA.

**Investigating Language Properties**

I'm now deeply examining the characteristics of $L_1$. My current focus is proving its non-regularity. I'm trying to use the Pumping Lemma and am considering how to choose strings that will lead to a contradiction. I am analyzing strings with repeated "aba" patterns.

**Defining the Task**

I've identified the three subproblems from the exam. My primary focus is identifying non-regular languages and then proving one is non-regular. Specifically, I need to analyze the language $L_1$ and its properties.

**Revisiting $L_1$**

I'm still grappling with $L_1$. I've realized that the key lies in understanding the relationship between the count of 'a's and "aba" substrings within a word. I'm now focusing on carefully constructing example words and dissecting their properties with respect to this relationship.

**Defining L1 and Its Properties**

I'm thoroughly analyzing $L_1$, now focusing on how the number of 'a's relates to the occurrences of "aba." I believe I've found a pattern, suggesting that the condition $|w|_{aba} \ne |w|_a$ always holds when "aba" appears, or that $L_1$ may actually be all words with the letter 'a'.

**Proving Non-Regularity**

I'm preparing to rigorously demonstrate the non-regularity of $L_1$ using the Pumping Lemma. My current focus is on establishing the necessary conditions for a contradiction. I'm analyzing how the number of 'a's and "aba" substrings will interact with the Pumping Lemma's requirements.

**Re-evaluating Language Properties**

My analysis of $L_1$ has shifted dramatically. Initially thinking non-regular, I'm now convinced it is regular. The key realization is that the number of 'a's is strictly greater than the number of "aba" occurrences in a word with any "aba." Therefore $L_1$ is the complement of all b's and c's.

**Defining Final Analysis**

I'm now concluding the analysis of the three languages. After rigorous examination of their structures and properties, I'm convinced that $L_1$ and $L_2$ are regular, while $L_3$ is non-regular. I'm focusing on formally proving the non-regularity of $L_3$ using the Pumping Lemma, defining a pumping length, and demonstrating a contradiction.

**Forming Proof Strategies**

I'm now developing the proof using the Pumping Lemma for $L_3$, focusing on the form $a^p b^p c^p$ to derive a contradiction. The core challenge is to demonstrate that pumping the 'a's will disrupt the necessary equality between the number of 'b's and 'c's.

**Confirming Proofs**

I've now confirmed the regularity of $L_1$ and $L_2$, and I'm focusing on proving $L_3$ is non-regular. I've decided the Pumping Lemma is the best approach. I am using $s=b^pc^p$ and pumping to create a contradiction.

**Confirming Non-Regularity**

I'm setting up the Pumping Lemma proof for $L_3$ where $L_3 = \{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$. After proving $L_3$ isn't regular, my next step is to show, by logical argument, it can't be combined with other regular langauges, to create a regular language.

**Confirming Final Results**

I've now completed the analysis. $L_1$ and $L_2$ are regular, while $L_3$ is demonstrably non-regular. I proved non-regularity of $L_3$ using the Pumping Lemma. Specifically, the structure of $L_3$, with its 'j' and 'k' values, lends itself well to this type of proof.

**Refining Proof Strategies**

I'm now focused on the detailed construction of the Pumping Lemma proof for the non-regular language $L_3$. Specifically, I will use the pumping lemma on the intersection of L3 with a regular language to simplify the proof. I will construct the string as $a^1b^p c^p$.

**Revising Language Properties**

I'm revisiting the language of palindromes and its star, which appears regular. I'm examining how the reversal of a language affects its properties, especially in the context of $L$ versus $L^R$. I'm exploring simple examples of non-palindromic words to understand how to prove $L \ne L^R$ for each case.

**Defining the Reversal**

I'm now focused on the language reversal definition and its implications. I want to understand how reversing a language changes its properties, particularly in the context of $L$ versus $L^R$ to construct a valid proof.

**Evaluating Reversal Implications**

I'm now focusing on the relationship between a language and its reverse. The key is recognizing that the reversal operation effectively swaps the start and end of words. This is crucial for subproblem b. The analysis of each language's properties is ongoing.

**Reflecting on Subproblem b**

I've started analyzing the second subproblem. I'm looking at the languages and their reverses, and I am trying to identify words that appear in only one of the language or its reverse. The properties of the languages are clear to me, as I defined their reversed counterparts.

**Evaluating Reversal Differences**

I'm now examining the languages in Subproblem B to understand how reversing affects them. I'm paying particular attention to whether $L$ equals $L^R$. I'm creating example words to test for membership in either language or its reverse.

**Constructing Reversals**

I'm currently dissecting the impact of reversal on the languages to find words unique to either $L$ or $L^R$. My focus is on identifying key differences in word structures, and I'm actively looking for words that exhibit contrasting properties after reversal.

**Evaluating Subproblem Solutions**

I'm now confirming that the results I've obtained for subproblem a are correct. Specifically, I am satisfied with the non-regularity proof for $L_3$ and its implications, and I will not make any changes. I will now proceed to review my answers for subproblem b, ensuring that the examples provided are valid.

**Evaluating Undecidability**

I'm currently comparing the given languages to Rice's Theorem criteria for undecidability. I've realized that to prove undecidability, I must show a non-trivial property related to the language's size. I'm currently examining language cardinality for the first example.

**Identifying Undecidability**

I'm currently comparing the provided languages to Rice's Theorem for undecidability. My focus is on confirming that the language properties are non-trivial. I'm investigating cardinality.

**Defining Undecidability**

I'm currently trying to prove the undecidability of $L_1$ and $L_3$ using Rice's Theorem and a reduction from the Halting Problem. The focus is on constructing the Turing machine $M'$ based on the Halting Problem instance.

**Defining the Reduction**

I'm now constructing the reduction function. Given an instance of the Halting Problem, I'm creating a new Turing machine that either accepts five strings or none. The structure of the reduction will ensure a clear mapping from the Halting Problem to the language $L_1$.

**Establishing the Proof Structure**

I'm now moving towards the construction of a formal proof for the undecidability of $L_1$ and $L_3$, specifically focusing on employing a reduction from the Halting Problem, which is the general approach. I'm starting to draft the reduction function, outlining the transformation of a halting problem instance into the language's membership question.

**Forming Undecidability Proof**

I'm now focusing on proving the undecidability of $L_1$ via a reduction from the Halting Problem. My current focus is on precisely constructing the Turing Machine $M'$ and demonstrating the equivalence between halting and the language membership, using a transformation of the original TM.

**Defining Undecidability Proof**

I'm setting up the undecidability proof for $L_1$ using a reduction from the Halting Problem, focusing on constructing a Turing machine $M'$ based on an instance. I'll demonstrate how the halting behavior of $M$ directly impacts the language of $M'$, thus establishing the undecidability of $L_1$ through this mapping.

**Confirming Undecidability Proof**

I'm now composing the formal proof demonstrating the undecidability of $L_1$. The approach involves a reduction from the Halting Problem, constructing a Turing Machine, $M'$, and showing how its behavior directly reflects the halting behavior of another Turing machine, $M$.

Beweis für Sprache 3:
Wir beweisen, dass die Sprache $L_3 = \{a^ib^jc^k:(i\ne 1\vee j=k)\wedge i,j,k\ge0\}$ nicht regulär ist.
Hierfür zeigen wir, dass der Schnitt von $L_3$ mit einer regulären Sprache eine bekannte nicht-reguläre Sprache ergibt. Da reguläre Sprachen unter dem Schnitt abgeschlossen sind, beweist dies, dass $L_3$ nicht regulär sein kann.

Sei $R$ die reguläre Sprache, die durch den regulären Ausdruck $ab^*c^*$ beschrieben wird. Also $R = \{a^1b^jc^k \mid j, k \ge 0\}$.
Wir betrachten die Sprache $L' = L_3 \cap R$. Wenn $L_3$ regulär wäre, müsste auch $L'$ regulär sein.

Ein Wort $w=a^ib^jc^k$ liegt in $L'$, wenn es sowohl in $L_3$ als auch in $R$ liegt.
Die Zugehörigkeit zu $R$ erfordert $i=1$.
Setzen wir $i=1$ in die Bedingung für $L_3$, $(i\ne 1\vee j=k)$, ein, erhalten wir $(1\ne 1\vee j=k)$, was zu $(\text{falsch} \vee j=k)$ und somit zu $j=k$ vereinfacht wird.
Ein Wort liegt also in $L'$, wenn es die Form $a^1b^jc^k$ mit $j=k$ hat.
Somit ist $L' = \{ab^jc^j \mid j \ge 0\}$.

Wir beweisen nun mit dem Pumping-Lemma, dass $L'$ nicht regulär ist.
Angenommen, $L'$ ist regulär. Dann gibt es eine Pumping-Länge $p \ge 1$.
Wir wählen das Wort $s = ab^pc^p$. Offensichtlich gilt $s \in L'$ und $|s| = 1+2p \ge p$.
Gemäß dem Pumping-Lemma existiert eine Zerlegung $s=xyz$ mit den Eigenschaften:
1. $|xy| \le p$
2. $|y| \ge 1$
3. $xy^k z \in L'$ für alle $k \ge 0$.

Wegen $|xy| \le p$ und der Gestalt von $s = ab^p c^p$, muss die Teilzeichenkette $y$ innerhalb des Präfixes $ab^{p-1}$ liegen (für $p \ge 2$; für $p=1$ ist $s=abc$ und $|xy| \le 1$, also $y=a$).
Wir analysieren die möglichen Inhalte von $y$:

*   **Fall 1: $y$ enthält das Zeichen 'a'.**
    Wenn $y$ das 'a' enthält (z.B. $y=a$ oder $y=ab^m$), dann enthält das Wort $xy^0z = xz$ kein 'a' mehr, oder das Wort $xy^2z$ enthält eine ungültige Zeichenreihenfolge wie 'ba' oder mehrere 'a's. In jedem Fall ist das Ergebnis nicht von der Form $ab^jc^j$ und liegt somit nicht in $L'$. Dies widerspricht Eigenschaft 3 des Pumping-Lemmas.

*   **Fall 2: $y$ besteht nur aus 'b's.**
    Dies ist die einzig verbleibende Möglichkeit. Dann hat die Zerlegung die Form $x=ab^u$, $y=b^v$, $z=b^{p-u-v}c^p$ mit $u \ge 0, v \ge 1$ und $u+v \le p-1$.
    Wir betrachten das Wort $s' = xy^2z = ab^u(b^v)^2b^{p-u-v}c^p = ab^{p+v}c^p$.
    In $s'$ ist die Anzahl der 'b's gleich $p+v$, während die Anzahl der 'c's $p$ beträgt. Da $v \ge 1$, ist $p+v \ne p$. Folglich hat $s'$ nicht die Form $ab^jc^j$ und ist somit nicht in $L'$. Dies widerspricht ebenfalls Eigenschaft 3 des Pumping-Lemmas.

Da für jede mögliche Zerlegung von $s$ ein Widerspruch entsteht, kann die Annahme, dass $L'$ regulär ist, nicht korrekt sein.
Da $L' = L_3 \cap R$ nicht regulär ist und $R$ regulär ist, folgt daraus, dass $L_3$ nicht regulär sein kann.

Beweis für Sprache 1:
Die Sprache ist $L_1 = \{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$, was äquivalent zu $L_1 = \{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|=5\}$ ist, da die Größe einer Sprache nicht-negativ ist. Wir beweisen die Unentscheidbarkeit von $L_1$ durch eine Reduktion vom Halteproblem $H = \{\langle M, x\rangle \mid \text{Turingmaschine } M \text{ hält auf Eingabe } x\}$. Das Halteproblem ist bekanntlich unentscheidbar.

Wir konstruieren eine berechenbare Funktion $f$, die eine Instanz $\langle M, x\rangle$ des Halteproblems auf eine Instanz $w' = f(\langle M, x\rangle)$ von $L_1$ abbildet, sodass $\langle M, x\rangle \in H \iff w' \in L_1$.
Die Funktion $f$ erzeugt aus $\langle M, x\rangle$ die Beschreibung $w'$ einer neuen Turingmaschine $M'$. Die Maschine $M'$ arbeitet auf einer Eingabe $y$ wie folgt:

1.  $M'$ ignoriert zunächst ihre eigene Eingabe $y$ und simuliert die Turingmaschine $M$ auf der Eingabe $x$.
2.  **Fall A:** Wenn die Simulation von $M$ auf $x$ terminiert (also hält), geht $M'$ zum nächsten Schritt über. $M'$ überprüft, ob ihre ursprüngliche Eingabe $y$ eine der fünf vordefinierten Zeichenketten $\{0, 00, 000, 0000, 00000\}$ ist.
    *   Wenn $y$ eine dieser fünf Zeichenketten ist, akzeptiert $M'$.
    *   Andernfalls verwirft $M'$.
3.  **Fall B:** Wenn die Simulation von $M$ auf $x$ nicht terminiert (in eine Endlosschleife gerät), wird $M'$ ebenfalls nicht terminieren. In diesem Fall wird der zweite Schritt nie erreicht.

Nun analysieren wir die Sprache $L(M')$:
*   Wenn $\langle M, x\rangle \in H$, dann hält $M$ auf $x$. Gemäß Fall A in der Konstruktion von $M'$ wird $M'$ genau dann akzeptieren, wenn die Eingabe $y$ eine der fünf spezifischen Zeichenketten ist. Somit ist die Sprache von $M'$ in diesem Fall $L(M') = \{0, 00, 000, 0000, 00000\}$. Die Größe der Sprache ist $|L(M')| = 5$. Folglich liegt die Beschreibung $w'$ von $M'$ in $L_1$.
*   Wenn $\langle M, x\rangle \notin H$, dann hält $M$ auf $x$ nicht. Gemäß Fall B in der Konstruktion von $M'$ gerät diese in eine Endlosschleife und akzeptiert keine einzige Eingabe. Die Sprache von $M'$ ist in diesem Fall leer: $L(M') = \emptyset$. Die Größe der Sprache ist $|L(M')| = 0$. Da $0 \ne 5$, liegt die Beschreibung $w'$ von $M'$ nicht in $L_1$.

Die Konstruktion von $w'=\langle M' \rangle$ aus $\langle M, x \rangle$ ist ein algorithmischer Vorgang und somit ist die Funktion $f$ berechenbar.
Wir haben gezeigt, dass $\langle M, x\rangle \in H \iff f(\langle M, x\rangle) \in L_1$. Dies stellt eine Many-one-Reduktion von $H$ auf $L_1$ dar ($H \le_m L_1$).
Da $H$ unentscheidbar ist, muss auch $L_1$ unentscheidbar sein.

Beweis für Sprache 1:
Die Sprache ist  $L_1 = \{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}$ , was äquivalent zu  $L_1 = \{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|=5\}$  ist, da die Größe einer Sprache nicht-negativ ist.

Das Halteproblem ist bekanntlich unentscheidbar.

Die Konstruktion von  $w'=\langle M' \rangle$  aus  $\langle M, x \rangle$  ist ein algorithmischer Vorgang und somit ist die Funktion  $f$  berechenbar.

Thoughts

**Determining language regularity**

I’m figuring out which languages might be non-regular using the alphabet Σ={a,b,c}. One option is L1, which defines strings where the count of "aba" occurrences is not equal to the count of 'a' letters. So, I need to think about whether counting these values can be represented with a finite state machine. If the complement language L' is non-regular, then L1 must be non-regular too. I'm thinking I need to clearly define these counts for a better conclusion.**Analyzing language properties**

I'm exploring whether the language L1 is regular or not. If equality between counts isn't regular, it seems like L1 would also be non-regular, but that’s not entirely correct. Non-regular languages and their complements aren't simply predictable.

I need to define a function f(w) based on the difference between counts of 'a' and occurrences of "aba." But I'm wondering if this can be tracked with a finite automaton. It might be tough since the difference doesn't seem bounded. Each 'a' adds one while each "aba" subtracts one, complicating things!**Exploring automaton for "aba"**

I’m considering the impact of overlapping occurrences of "aba" and how to track counts efficiently. One idea is to create an automaton that keeps track of the number of 'a's since the last 'ba,' but that sounds complex. Alternatively, I might use methods like the pumping lemma or Myhill-Nerode to examine non-regularity.

For strings like a^n b a, I find that "aba" occurs only once if n is at least 1. Counting 'a's gives me n + 1 after the 'b'. So I’m narrowing down how often I see "aba"!**Finding non-regularity in L1**

I’ve concluded that equality only holds when n=0, which means for n≥1, L1 includes all strings of the form a^n b a, which happens to be regular. To demonstrate non-regularity, I need an infinite subset like { a^n b a^n }.

Next, I’ll analyze w_n = (aba)^n. In this case, I can count occurrences of "aba" based on overlapping positions. They show up at every third character, and by tracking each index, I see that the number of occurrences is exactly n, with a total of 2n 'a's in the string.**Analyzing equality of counts**

I’m digging into if the equality set L_eq is regular. I explored how differences in counts are influenced by occurrences of 'a' and how they pair with 'aba'. It seems that for any string containing an 'a', the earliest 'a' cannot be preceded by 'ab', which keeps forcing the count difference f to remain positive.

When I checked several sample strings like 'aba', 'ababa', and even 'cabab', I consistently found that f never reached zero, reinforcing the idea that you can’t have equality unless there are no 'a's at all! Thus, overall, I think I'll claim that for strings containing 'a', the count of 'a's will always be greater than that of 'aba' unless there are no 'a's present.**Validating language properties**

I'm bounding occurrences of 'aba' by their end positions, and I deduced that if there's an 'a' it must close an 'aba'. The first 'a' can't end an 'aba' unless it's preceded by 'ab'. When analyzing strings like 'ababa', I found contradictions in requiring every 'a' to close an 'aba', leading me to conclude equality holds only if there are no 'a's present at all.

Thus, I confirmed the language conditions: L_eq works with {b, c}*, while L1 includes all strings with at least one 'a’—that's regular!**Analyzing language regularity**

I’m considering option 2, which relates to palindromes, and I realize the Kleene star of the set of palindromes actually generates all strings over the alphabet Σ. Therefore, L2 is regular since Pal^* = Σ*. Now, for option 3, I’m breaking down the language L3 defined by specific conditions involving a's, b's, and c's.

Though it seems like there are regular components, the intersection reveals layers of complexity indicating non-regularity. In essence, I conclude that only option 3 is non-regular, and I’ll use a proof by contradiction involving the pumping lemma for validation.**Preparing the proof for language 3**

I need to include the proof in the specified format with "Beweis für Sprache ?:" and ensure I clearly label it as option "3". While it seems I could also discuss the regularity of options 1 and 2, the focus should really be on proving that option 3 is non-regular.

I’ll define L3, then show how it intersects with a regular language, and use the pumping lemma for clarity. I’ll keep it concise but informative, noting all necessary details without deviation from the template. I'll make sure everything's presented clearly, likely in German to match the exam instructions.**Crafting the proof format**

I need to construct the proof for option 3 and focus on showing its non-regularity. I’ll start by using the closure property under intersection with a regular set R, which will reduce to the form a b^j c^j. I might include a pumping lemma proof to strengthen my argument.

I’ll fill out the required template carefully, indicating the language number "3" and providing a clear, multi-line proof in the specified format. My goal is to keep everything concise and structured as needed.

**Examining language equivalence**

I need to determine if each given language L is not equal to its reversal, L^R. For those where L ≠ L^R, I’ll provide a word that belongs to only one of them or put a dash if not applicable. 

Starting with the alphabet Σ = {a, b}, I look at the first option: L(b^* a^* b). I understand that L denotes the language from the regex b^* a^* b, which includes all strings matching this pattern. Now I need to compute L^R to see if they are equal.**Analyzing regex reversal**

The reversal of the regex b^* a^* b is b a^* b^*. I have to remember that when reversing concatenation, the order changes, but the Kleene star stays the same, meaning each symbol remains intact. So, L^R = L(b a^* b^*). Now, I’m curious if L(b^* a^* b) equals L(b a^* b^*). Typically, they wouldn’t be equal. 

Let’s consider the string "b". It's present in both languages, so it doesn't help differentiate. I’ll test another example, like "bb".**Determining language separation**

For language L, I need to check the form b^* a^* b. The string "bb" works since the first part can provide one b, the second part is empty, and the final b supplies the second b, confirming "bb" ∈ L. 

In L^R, "bb" matches as well, so it’s in both languages. Now for "ab": in L, b^* is empty, a^* is 'a', and then the final 'b' is present. Therefore, "ab" ∈ L, but it doesn’t work for L^R because it starts with 'a'. This shows L ≠ L^R. Now, I’ll consider a second option involving non-palindromes.**Examining language closure**

For L^R, I've defined it as { w^R : w ∈ L }, which includes reversals of non-palindromes. Since reversing a non-palindrome results in another non-palindrome, it holds that y^R is not equal to y, meaning y^R remains in L. This shows that L is closed under reversal, indicating L equals L^R. Therefore, my conclusion about L ≠ L^R being false suggests that for option 2, I should mark it as 0, and put a dash in the line. Now, moving to option 3, which involves strings containing single occurrences.**Exploring language characteristics**

In the language pattern u a v v, I’m identifying strings that have an 'a' followed by two identical v's. So, if I reverse the string, its format becomes (v v)^R a^R u^R. This creates the challenge of having the 'a' positioned correctly between the parts.

To check if L equals L^R overall, I need to find strings in L whose reversals aren't in L. After testing various combinations, I've determined that any string ending with 'a' is in L. 

However, taking a string like "ab," which isn’t in L, shows that its reversal, "ba," is in L, indicating L ≠ L^R.**Finalizing options for languages**

I've determined that the string "ab" is not in L, but its reverse "ba" is in L, showing L ≠ L^R. For the task, I can provide "ab" for being in L but not L^R, while "ba" fits as a string in L but not L^R. 

Let's make sure to format the output correctly. I'll specify:

**Evaluating undecidable languages**

I need to tackle subproblem c: identifying undecidable languages over Sigma = {0,1}. There are options involving languages whose cardinalities are linked to equations like |L(M_w)|^2 = 25, 50, and 100. For each option, I interpret M_w as the Turing machine encoded by w. By understanding the cardinalities, I realize that these nontrivial properties make them undecidable according to Rice's theorem, as any significant property of the language recognized by a TM is undecidable.**Analyzing language decability**

For Option 2, where |L|^2 = 50, there's no Turing machine that can satisfy this because cardinalities are natural numbers (0, 1, 2, …, infinity). Since the square of any natural number cannot equal 50, this set is therefore empty. Interestingly, the empty language is decidable, as it trivially holds. Consequently, I conclude that languages 1 and 3 are undecidable, while language 2 is decidable since it represents the empty set, making it regular.**Checking partiality issues**

I need to be cautious about partiality issues with M_w, which is assumed to be a Turing machine. If w isn’t a valid encoding, often they define M_w as the TM corresponding to w, but it can be undefined. Typically, it's assumed that w encodes a TM, as they're usually coded in Sigma*. I’m thinking we should assume a reasonable encoding and an injective mapping. For the options, I conclude that option 1 is undecidable, option 2 is decidable, and option 3 is undecidable. I'll need to prove that one of these languages is undecidable, choosing either option 1 or 3 for proof via Rice’s theorem.**Formulating the proof outline**

I’m considering Turing machines whose languages have exactly 5 strings or aren’t fixed at 5 (like empty sets). This establishes a nontrivial property because it strictly depends on the language recognized. According to Rice's theorem, this means it's undecidable. I could alternatively show this through a reduction from emptiness, but Rice’s approach is simpler. I’ll set L1 = {w : |L(M_w)| = 5}. 

For our answer format, we need to select language 1 for the proof. I’ll write the proof using Rice’s theorem, mentioning an alternative reduction from known undecidable properties, like the finiteness of languages, which is also undecidable by Rice’s theorem.**Applying Rice's theorem**

I just need to apply Rice's theorem here, focusing on the property where |L|=10, but just one property is enough. It's crucial to remember that Rice's theorem typically concerns partial functions computed by Turing machines (TMs), though languages create a specific case. Essentially, a property of the language recognized corresponds to a partial characteristic function.

For the options:

- <option id="1">1</option>
- <option id="2">0</option>
- <option id="3">1</option>

Then <answer id="4"> with "Proof for language 1:" 

Define L1: { w : |L(M_w)|^2 = 25 } = { w : |L(M_w)| = 5 }. The property P(L) is that "L is a recursively enumerable language of size exactly 5." This is nontrivial since there’s a TM with a fixed 5-element language, and one that isn’t size 5 (like empty). By Rice’s theorem, the set of encodings for TMs having property P is undecidable, making language 1 undecidable.

I’ll also note that option 2 is empty because there’s no way for squares to equal 50, so it's decidable. Option 3 hinges on the same argument as option 1. I want to ensure I'm presenting a rigorous demonstration that the property is nontrivial and semantic, while also keeping it concise.

Thoughts

We need to determine which languages are NOT regular among the three options. Then select one such language and provide a proof of non-regularity.

Let's analyze each.

Alphabet Σ = {a,b,c}.

Option 1: L1 = { w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a} }. Here |w|_{aba} is number of occurrences of substring "aba"? Usually notation |w|_{x} denotes number of (possibly overlapping?) occurrences of string x as a factor. |w|_{a} is number of occurrences of letter a. The language consists of words where the count of "aba" substrings is NOT equal to the count of letter a. Are such languages regular? Typically equality of two counts is not regular, but inequality? It's complement of equality condition: L1 = complement of { |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} }. If equality language is non-regular, its complement might be regular? For regular languages, complement of non-regular is also non-regular because regular languages closed under complement, and complement of regular is regular. If equality language is non-regular, its complement is also non-regular (since if complement were regular, original would be regular). So we need to decide if equality language is non-regular. Counting number of a's vs number of "aba" substrings may be more complex. Likely not regular. So L1 is NOT regular.

Option 2: L2 = ( { w ∈ Σ*: w = w^R } )^*. The inner set is set of palindromes over Σ of any length (including empty). Then star of that set = concatenation of any number of palindromes. The set of all strings that can be written as concatenation of palindromes. Is that regular? Every string can be decomposed into palindromes of length 1 (each letter is palindrome). So any string is concatenation of palindromes. Hence L2 = Σ* which is regular. So L2 is regular. So NOT regular? No.

Option 3: L3 = { a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0 }. Let's examine. Condition: either i ≠ 1, or j = k (or both). So strings where either the number of a's is not 1, or the number of b's equals number of c's. Complement would be strings where i = 1 AND j ≠ k. That's { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }. Complement may be non-regular? Let's analyze. The language L3 includes all strings where i ≠ 1 (any i except 1) regardless of j,k; also includes strings where i=1 but j=k. So only excluded strings are those with exactly one a and unequal numbers of b and c. So L3 = Σ* \ { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }. The excluded set is { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }. That's the language "a followed by b^j c^k with j ≠ k". Is that regular? Language { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k } = a (b^* c^*) \ { a b^n c^n } basically all strings a b^j c^k where j ≠ k. Since the complement (with equality) { a b^n c^n } is not regular (classic). The set of all strings a b^j c^k with j ≠ k is the complement within a b* c* of the non-regular equality language. Since a b* c* is regular, complement of a non-regular within a regular may be non-regular? Let's think: If L_eq = { a b^n c^n } non-regular. Let R = a b* c*. Then R \ L_eq = { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }. If R\L_eq were regular, then complement within R would be L_eq = R \ (R\L_eq). Since regular languages closed under complement within a regular set? Not directly. But we can intersect with R to get L_eq = R ∩ complement(R\L_eq). Since complement of regular (R\L_eq) in Σ* is regular, intersect with regular R gives regular => would make L_eq regular, contradiction. So R\L_eq is non-regular. Therefore the excluded set is non-regular, thus L3 = Σ* \ non-regular = complement of non-regular, which is also non-regular. Wait complement of non-regular may be regular? No because if complement were regular, then original would be regular (closure under complement). So L3 is also non-regular.

Thus options NOT regular: 1 and 3. Option 2 is regular.

We need to choose one such language and prove not regular. Choose option 1 maybe. Provide proof using Pumping Lemma or Myhill-Nerode.

Let's do Pumping Lemma: Assume L = { w : |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a} }? Wait we need language of NOT regular: L1 = {w : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a}}. So we can prove its complement (equality) is non-regular, then L1 also non-regular. Simpler to prove equality language non-regular via pumping lemma on strings of form a (ba)^{n}. Let's compute counts. For w = a (ba)^n, occurrences of 'a' = n+1? Let's compute: w = a ba ba ... total characters: a then (b a) repeated n times. So number of a's: 1 + n. Number of occurrences of substring "aba"? That occurs when we have a b a consecutive. In this pattern, each (b a) after first a yields one "aba"? Actually sequence: a b a b a ... So substrings "aba" appear at positions starting at first a (a b a), and also at each subsequent a? Let's test n=2: w = a b a b a. That string has "aba" at positions 1-3 and 3-5 -> two occurrences. Number of a's = 3. So count of "aba" = n? maybe = n. Number of a's = n+1. So they differ. Not ideal.

Better construct strings where |w|_{aba} = |w|_{a}. Need equal counts. Use w = (aba)^n. Then each block "aba" contains one "aba" occurrence? Overlapping? In (aba)^n, occurrences of "aba" as substrings overlapped: each block yields one, plus overlapping between blocks? For "abaaba": substrings "aba" at positions 1-3 and 4-6 = 2. So count = n. Number of a's = each block has 2 a's? Actually "aba" contains two a's. So total a's = 2n. So not equal.

Maybe easier: prove non-regular by reduction from known non-regular language like { a^n b^n }. Could encode n in number of a's vs number of "aba". Let's think mapping: define homomorphism h from Σ* to something such that condition becomes equality of two counts of letters. Another way: use Myhill-Nerode: distinguish infinite number of prefixes by difference between counts.

Consider prefixes of form a^{n}. For a^{n}, number of a's = n, number of "aba" =0. So difference = n. For each n we have distinct equivalence class with respect to future extensions that may add equalizing counts? Might need more rigorous.

Maybe easier to prove language of NOT equal is non-regular by pumping lemma directly: assume L1 regular, consider long string s = a^{p} b^{p} a^{p}. Let's compute counts: number of a's = 2p. Number of "aba"? occurrences of "aba" require a followed by b then a. In this string there are p*? each a in first block followed by b then a after block? Substring across boundary: the pattern ... Let's simplify: use strings of form a^{n} b a^{n}. Then each occurrence of "aba" is when an a before the single b and an a after. There are n possible positions for the left a? Actually sequence: a... a b a...a. The substring "aba" occurs at each position where an a is immediately before b and an a after b: only the last a of first block plus b plus first a of second block forms "aba" once? Wait need consecutive a b a. The string is a^{n} b a^{n}. The pattern ...a b a... only occurs once at the boundary between the last a of first block, the b, and first a of second block. So |w|_{aba}=1, |w|_{a}=2n. Not equal. Not helpful.

Maybe prove equality language non-regular using pumping lemma on strings of form (ab)^n a . Let's compute counts. w = (ab)^n a . Example n=2: a b a b a. Count of a = n+1, count of "aba"? occurrences: at positions 1-3 and 3-5 = n? Actually n occurrences = n? For n=2, we have 2 "aba". So equality fails. Not equal.

Need language where counts are equal to enforce equality; perhaps consider strings where only a's appear in pattern "aba". For each occurrence of "aba", there are 2 a's, but we need number of a's equals number of "aba". So each occurrence contributes 2 a's; to match counts, we need extra a's to offset. Not simple.

Maybe use Myhill-Nerode: For each n, consider strings x_n = a^{n}. We claim that for any m≠n, there exists continuation y such that x_n y in L1 (or complement) differs from x_m y. Need to separate infinitely many equivalence classes. Choose y = (ba)^{n} . Not sure.

Given time, we can choose option 3 for proof: easier due to known non-regular { a b^n c^ }. We'll prove that language L = { a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) } is not regular by using pumping lemma on its complement or direct.

Proof: Suppose L is regular. Its complement L' = Σ* \ L = { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }. Show L' not regular? Wait we need L not regular. We can show complement not regular, then L also not regular (since regular languages closed under complement). Complement is { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }, which is Σ* ∩ (…?). Actually we can intersect complement with a b* c* to isolate { a b^j c^k : j ≠ k }. Intersection of complement with regular language a b* c* yields non-regular if complement regular. Use pumping lemma on language K = { a b^n c^n | n ≥0 } known non-regular. Note that K = a b* c* \ L' . Because a b* c* = all strings a b^j c^k. Removing those with j ≠ k leaves those with j = k. So K = (a b* c*) ∩ (complement of L'). So if L' were regular, its complement would be regular, intersect with regular a b* c* yields regular, contradicting non-regularity of K. Therefore L' not regular, hence L not regular.

Thus we can provide proof for option 3.

Thoughts

We need determine for each language whether L != L^R (i.e., language not equal to its reversal). Options are languages over Σ={a,b}.

We must output 0 or 1 per option, where I think 1 indicates L != L^R (i.e., language is not equal to its reverse). The problem: "Für welche der folgenden Sprachen L gilt L ≠ L^R?" So we need to mark those where inequality holds. Provide example word w that is in exactly one of L and L^R.

If a language equals its reversal, then mark 0. If not equal, 1 and give word.

Option 1: L(b^* a^* b). Actually notation ambiguous: $L(b^*a^*b)$ maybe means language described by regex $b^* a^* b$, i.e., all strings of zero or more b's, then zero or more a's, then a trailing b. So language = {b^i a^j b | i,j≥0}. Does this equal its reversal? Reverse of any string of that form is b a^j b^i? Wait reversal of b^i a^j b is b a^j b^i (since reverse of b is b). That string is of form b a^j b^i, which is not necessarily in original language because original requires first segment only b's, then a's, then a final single b. The reversed string has b at start, then a's, then possibly many b's at end (i may >1). The original language expects exactly one b at the end, not multiple. Example: take i=2, j=1, string = b b a b. That's "bbab". Reverse = "babb". Does "babb" belong to original? It would need to be b^i a^j b pattern: start with some b's, then a's, then single b. "babb": begins with b, then a? Actually "b a b b": after first b, the next char a, then b b. That's b^1 a^1 b^? But there are two b's at end, not allowed (needs exactly one). So not in language. So reverse not in language while original is. So L != L^R. Provide example w = "bbab". This word in L but not in L^R.

Option 2: set of all strings that are not palindromes. L = { w | w != w^R }. Its reversal: L^R = { w^R | w != w^R }. That's same set because condition is symmetric: w != w^R iff w^R != (w^R)^R = w. So L^R = L. Therefore L = L^R. So inequality false, mark 0, no example, put "-" maybe.

Option 3: language = { u a v v : u,v ∈ Σ* }. So strings consist of any prefix u, then a, then a string v repeated twice. i.e., any string where after some a there is a double copy of some substring v. Need check if language equals its reversal. Let's analyze. Take a word w = u a v v. Its reverse is (v v)^R a u^R = v^R v^R a u^R. That is of form u' a v' v' maybe? To be in language, it must be some u' a v' v'. So we need find w where reverse not in language. Choose simple: let u = ε, v = b. Then w = a b b. w = "abb". Reverse = "bba". Is "bba" in language? Need to see if it can be expressed as u' a v' v'. Must have an 'a' somewhere before the double copy at end. "bba" ends with a, not start with a. The form requires an 'a' somewhere, then after it double copy of some v', and possibly prefix before a (u'). For "bba": the only 'a' is at position 3 (last). Then after a nothing, cannot have v'v' nonempty (could be empty v'?). v' can be empty (since Σ* includes ε). Then v'v' = ε, okay. So we could take u' = "bb", a = a, v' = ε. Then string = u' a v'v' = "bb" + "a" + "" = "bba". So "bba" is in language! So that example fails.

Need find w such that reverse cannot be expressed. Let's reason: language includes all strings where there exists a position of an 'a' such that the suffix after that position is a string repeated twice (maybe empty). So condition: there exists split w = u a v v, with v possibly empty.

We need w in L but reverse not. Let's think of w where after the a there is a non-empty v that is not a perfect square in reverse order. For reverse to be in L, need some a (maybe different position) such that suffix after that a is a double copy. So maybe choose w where there is exactly one a and after it a non-square pattern such that reverse has the a at the beginning (or other) but suffix after some a is not double. Let's brute mental.

Take u = ε, v = ab. Then w = a (ab)(ab) = aab ab? Wait v = "ab": then w = a + "ab" + "ab" = "aab ab"? Actually concatenation: a + "ab" + "ab" = "aab ab"? That yields "aab ab"? Let's write: a + ab = aab, plus ab = aabab. So w = "aabab". Reverse = "babaa". Need to see if "babaa" can be expressed as u' a v' v'. Find an a in "babaa". Positions: at index 2 (b a...), also at index 4,5 maybe. Try first a at position2: split "b" (u') + "a" + suffix "baa". Need suffix = v'v' . "baa" length 3, cannot be even unless v' length 1.5; but could be v' empty? Not. So not works. Try a at position4: string "baba a". u' = "bab", a, suffix "" (since after last a nothing). Empty suffix is v'v' with v'=ε, okay. So "babaa" can be expressed with u'="bab", a at position5? Wait there are two a's at positions 2 and 5. The last a is at position5, after that suffix empty => v'=ε, works. So reverse is also in language. So still.

Maybe language is actually closed under reversal? Let's test general property. For any word w = u a v v, reverse is v^R v^R a u^R. This can be written as u' a v' v' by setting u' = v^R v^R? Wait we need an a somewhere with suffix double copy. In reverse we have a somewhere (the a from original) placed at position after v^R v^R. So reverse = (v^R v^R) a u^R. This matches the pattern with u' = v^R v^R, v' = u^R? No, need suffix after a to be double copy: after a we have u^R, which must be of form v'v'. That requires u^R to be a double copy. But u may be arbitrary, not necessarily double. So reverse may not be in L in general. So language likely not symmetric.

Thus we can find example where u not a double word. Choose u not of form x x. Let's pick u = a (single a). v = b (single b). Then w = u a v v = "a" + "a" + "b" + "b" = "aabb". Reverse = "bbaa". Now we need to see if "bbaa" can be expressed as u' a v' v'. Does "bbaa" contain an 'a'? Yes positions 3 and 4? actually "b b a a". The first a at position3. Split: u' = "bb", a, suffix "a". Suffix length1 cannot be double unless empty or length even; not possible. Next a at position4 (last character). Then suffix after a empty, which is okay (v'=ε). So representation with u' = "bba", a? Wait need a at last position, but we need an a followed by suffix (empty). The last character is a, so we can take u' = "b b a" = "bba", a = last a, suffix empty. That works: u'="bba", a, empty suffix. So "bbaa" is in language. Hmm still.

Try u = "ab", v = "a". Then w = "ab" + "a" + "a" + "a" = "abaa a"? Wait v v = "aa". So w = "ab" + "a" + "aa" = "abaa a"? Actually "ab" + "a" = "aba", + "aa" = "abaaa". w = "abaaa". Reverse = "aaaba". Need to see if reverse can be expressed. Contains a's many. Try a at first position: u' = "", a, suffix "aaba". Need suffix double: length4, could be "aa" "ba"? Not equal. Try a at second position: u'="a", a, suffix "aba". length3 not even, fails. a at third: u'="aa", a, suffix "ba". length2, needs to be v'v' where v' length1, both chars equal. "b" "a": not equal. a at fourth: u'="a a a", a, suffix "": empty works. So reverse is in language again! Seems any string with an 'a' at end qualifies with empty v'.

Thus any string ending with 'a' is in language (choose u = prefix, a = last a, v=ε). So reversal of any string that starts with a will end with a, thus also in language. To get asymmetry, need w where reverse does not end with a and also cannot find other a with double suffix. If w does not end with a, reverse starts with a? Not necessarily.

Consider w that ends with a but its reverse begins with a; both in language. Need w where reverse cannot be expressed because all positions of a in reverse have suffix that is not double, and also last a not at end. That means reverse must not end with a. So w must not start with a. Let's choose w that starts with b, ends with b perhaps, and has a somewhere. Example w = "b a b b". That's "babb". Reverse = "bbab". Does "bbab" end with a? No, ends with b. Need check if any a in "bbab" with double suffix. Positions: a at position3. Suffix after a is "b". length1, not double; also not empty. No other a. So cannot represent with empty suffix because a not last. So "bbab" not in language. Meanwhile w = "babb": is it in language? Need an a with suffix double. w = b a b b. a at position2, suffix "bb". length2, could be v'v' where v'="b". Yes suffix = "b""b". So w ∈ L. Therefore we have w in L but reverse not in L. Good! So option 3 inequality holds.

Thus mark option 3 as 1 and provide example w = "babb". Provide also maybe indicate that L != L^R.

Aber \(K = \{ab^{n}c^{n}\mid n\ge 0\}\) ist die klassische Beispielsprache, die **nicht** regulär ist (Pumping‑Lemma bzw. Myhill‑Nerode).  
Damit entsteht ein Widerspruch zur Annahme, dass \(\overline{L}\) regulär ist.

---

### 3.  Schlussfolgerung

Der Widerspruch zeigt, dass \(\overline{L}\) **nicht** regulär sein kann.  
Da die regulären Sprachen unter Komplement abgeschlossen sind, folgt daraus sofort, dass auch \(L\) nicht regulär sein muss.

\[
\boxed{L\ \text{ist nicht regulär}}
\]

Damit ist Sprache 3 eine nicht‑reguläre Sprache, und wir haben den Beweis erbracht.

Thoughts

We need to analyze subproblem c.

Languages: each is set of encodings w of Turing machines M_w such that |L(M_w)|^2 = something. That means cardinality squared equals given number. So |L(M_w)| is number of strings in language of machine M_w. Square equals 25 => |L| = 5 (since natural numbers). Similarly 50 => |L| = sqrt(50) not integer, impossible. 100 => |L| = 10.

But note language L(M_w) could be infinite, then |L| is infinite, square infinite: not equal to finite numbers. So condition: language size equals exactly certain finite number.

Decidability: The problem "given TM, does its language have exactly k strings?" is known to be undecidable for any nontrivial k? Let's recall known results: Emptiness (k=0) is undecidable? Emptiness problem for TMs is undecidable. For k=1? Finite language of size 1? I think "Does TM accept exactly one string?" is also undecidable. More generally, "Is language finite?" is undecidable. "Is language of size at most k?" is also undecidable? I think finiteness is undecidable; checking exact size also undecidable. So for k=5 and k=10 would be undecidable. For k such that square not integer (50) condition is never satisfied, so the language set is empty. Empty set is decidable (trivially yes? To decide membership, always answer no). The language of w such that |L(M_w)|^2 = 50 is empty, thus decidable (membership trivial). So option 2 is decidable, not undecidable.

Thus correct undeciable: 1 and 3.

Need proof for one, e.g., option 1.

We must produce proof that language {w : |L(M_w)| =5} is undecidable. Provide reduction from known undecidable problem, e.g., emptiness or finiteness. Show that if we could decide exact size 5, we could decide emptiness.

Construction: Given TM M, construct TM M' that accepts exactly 5 strings iff M's language is empty (or not). Idea: M' on input w: If w is one of five fixed strings (e.g., '0','1','00','01','10'), accept. Additionally, simulate M on its input (some encoding) and if M accepts something, accept a special sixth string maybe causing count >5. Actually we need reduction: From emptiness: given M, produce M' such that |L(M')| =5 iff L(M)=∅; otherwise >5. Then deciding exact 5 would decide emptiness.

Construction: M' works as follows: On input x, if x is in set S of five predetermined strings, accept. Else if x encodes a pair (y) maybe; M' simulates M on y, and if M accepts y, accept x (choose a distinguished string, e.g., '111...'). To ensure only one extra string possible, we could make M' accept a special string 'z' iff M accepts at least one string. So if L(M)=∅, M' accepts exactly S (size5). If L(M) nonempty, M' accepts S ∪ {z} => size6. So checking size5 distinguishes emptiness.

Thus undecidable.

Edge case: M might accept infinite many strings -> then M' would accept S ∪ infinite set (>=6) still not equal 5.

Thus reduction works.

Hence language is undecidable.

Need to present proof.

Now output answer.

### 1.   Das Leerheits‑Problem ist unentscheidbar  
(standarder Satz, Beweis durch Reduktion vom Halte‑Problem).

### 2.   Konstruktion einer TM \(M'\) aus einer beliebigen TM \(M\)

Gegeben eine TM \(M\) (Kodierung \(w=\langle M\rangle\)).  
Wir bauen eine neue TM \(M'\) wie folgt:

*Fixierte Menge von fünf Strings*  
\[
S=\{0,1,00,01,10\}.
\]

\(M'\) arbeitet auf Eingabe \(x\):

1. Falls \(x\in S\) akzeptiere sofort.
2. Falls \(x = z\) (ein spezieller zusätzlicher String, z.\,B. \(z = 11\)), simuliere \(M\) auf leere Eingabe (oder auf irgendeinen String \(y\)).  
   - Falls \(M\) **mindestens ein Wort** akzeptiert, akzeptiere \(z\).
   - Andernfalls verwerfe \(z\).
3. Für jedes andere \(x\) verwerfe.

Damit gilt:

* Wenn \(L(M)=\varnothing\) akzeptiert \(M'\) **genau** die fünf Wörter aus \(S\).  
  \(|L(M')| = 5\).

* Wenn \(L(M)\neq\varnothing\) akzeptiert \(M'\) die fünf Wörter aus \(S\) **und** zusätzlich \(z\).  
  \(|L(M')| = 6\) (oder sogar größer, falls wir \(M\) beliebig viele weitere Eingaben testen würden – wichtig ist nur, dass die Größe ≠5 ist).

Die Konstruktion lässt sich eindeutig und effektiv aus \(w\) berechnen; also gibt es eine computierbare totale Funktion
\[
f:\{0,1\}^* \to \{0,1\}^*,\qquad f(w)=\langle M'\rangle .
\]

### 3.   Korrektheit der Reduktion

\[
w\in\text{EMP}\;\Longleftrightarrow\; |L(M_{f(w)})| = 5\;\Longleftrightarrow\; f(w)\in L_1 .
\]

Damit ist die Abbildung \(f\) eine many‑one‑Reduktion von EMP auf \(L_1\).

### 4.   Schluss

Da EMP unentscheidbar ist und EMP many‑one‑reduzierbar auf \(L_1\) ist, muss \(L_1\) ebenfalls unentscheidbar sein.  

Der gleiche Argumentationsmuster funktioniert für die Sprache mit \(|L(M_w)|=10\) (Quadrat = 100); daher ist auch Option 3 unentscheidbar, während Option 2 die leere Menge beschreibt und damit entscheidbar ist.

\[
\boxed{\text{Die unentscheidbaren Optionen sind }1\text{ und }3.}

Thoughts

Okay, let's try to tackle this problem step by step. So, the question is about determining which of the given languages are not regular, and then proving that one of them isn't regular using the pumping lemma or another method.

First, let's recap that regular languages can be recognized by finite automata or expressed by regular expressions. One common way to show a language is not regular is by using the pumping lemma for regular languages. If a language doesn't satisfy the pumping lemma's conditions, it can't be regular.

The options given are:

1. L₁: {w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_{a}}
2. L₂: ( {w ∈ Σ* : w = w^R } )^*
3. L₃: {a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥0 }

Let's analyze each one.

Starting with L₁: This language consists of all strings over {a,b,c} where the number of occurrences of the substring "aba" is not equal to the number of 'a's. Hmm. At first glance, comparing counts might require some form of memory, which finite automata don't have. But how to approach this?

The pumping lemma might work here. Let's suppose L₁ is regular, then there exists a pumping length p. Consider a string in L₁, but wait—what string should I pick? Also, if "aba" is counted as a substring, perhaps overlapping occurrences are allowed? I think overlapping in general isn't considered when substring counts are discussed. For example, "ababa" would have two "aba" substrings: positions 1-3 and 3-5.

Wait, if I take a string with a lot of 'aba's, say (aba)^p. Then pumping might increase or decrease the count of 'aba's. However, the number of 'a's in such a string would be two per 'aba' except maybe the last one? Let's see: "aba" has 2 a's (positions 1 and 3), "abaaba" (assuming concatenation) would have "aba" starting at a, then another starting at a again? Wait, no. Let me think again. Let's take "aba" repeated p times. Each "aba" adds a, then b, then a. So the string would be aba aba aba... which has p * a's at the first and third positions of each block. So each "aba" has two a's? No: the first a is one, the third is the next. Wait: Let's take one "aba" — it's a, b, a. So total a's are 2. For two "aba"s: a b a a b a? No, the string would be abaaba. Wait, if we just concatenate "aba" p times: then each "aba" has two a's except perhaps at transition points. Wait, no. Each occurrence of "aba" adds an a at the start and another at the third character. So for p copies of "aba", the total number of 'a's would be 2p (each "aba" has two a's and one b). And the number of "aba" substrings is p (assuming no overlaps or additional ones). Wait, but maybe there's a way that longer runs can create more "aba" substrings. For example, "abaaaba" — maybe. But if I'm considering a string that is exactly p copies of "aba", then there would be exactly p occurrences of "aba".

Wait, but perhaps even better to choose a string that makes |w|_{aba} equal to |w|_a, then pump it. If we can show that even after pumping, we can't maintain the inequality, that would prove that this language isn't regular. Alternatively, this might be a trick question where L₁ is actually regular because we can represent it with some clever counting.

Alternatively, the problem could be that the condition |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a. Let's think about the complement: when |w|_{aba} equals |w|_a. But even this seems hard. How could we model this counting? Well, it might not be regular. So maybe L₁ is not regular. However, I'm not sure. Maybe there's a way to model this with a parity argument or other automata. But I'm not certain. Let's leave this for now.

Moving to L₂: The language is the Kleene star of the set of palindromes. The palindromes over {a,b,c} are {w | w = w^R}, which is a classic non-regular due to the pumping lemma. The pumping lemma for palindromes can be shown by selecting a palindrome of length longer than the pumping length, but pumping in the middle breaks the palindrome. However, taking the Kleene star of a non-regular language can potentially result in something that's regular. Wait, for example, suppose the language of palindromes over {a, b} is not regular, but what is its Kleene star? The Kleene star includes all strings that can be expressed as a concatenation of zero or more palindromes. But can this ever be regular?

Hmm. But if the base language is not regular, can its Kleene star be regular? Maybe. For example, if the base language is co-infinite or such, but I'm not sure. Let's think of L₂: (Palindrome over {a,b,c})*.

But wait, is there a way for a finite automaton to check the concatenation of palindromes? For example, any single letter is a palindrome (they're palindromes of length 1), so the Kleene star would include every string made by concatenation of palindromes, which would include all possible strings (since single letters are palindromes and can be concatenated to form any string). Wait, no. Wait, a palindrome can be of any length, but their concatenation would be any word. Because every symbol is a palindrome by itself. For example, take any string like a b c. We can write it as a concatenation of each individual letter: "a" (palindrome), "b" (palindrome), "c" (palindrome). Therefore, the Kleene star of the palindrome language is Σ*, which is definitely regular. Therefore, L₂ is just Σ*, which is regular. So option 2 would be regular, hence not the correct answer for non-regular. So the answer here would be that option 2 is not the language that is not regular. So perhaps option 2 is regular.

Wait, that's a big insight. Because if the language of all palindromes (over any alphabet) has the property that its Kleene star is Σ* (since each symbol is a palindrome, and you can have all single symbols), then L₂ is Σ*, which is regular. Therefore, option 2's language is regular, hence it's a red herring. Therefore, option 2 is not a non-regular language.

So L₂ is regular. Therefore, in the first part, we can eliminate option 2 as a possible answer. But wait, is that correct? Wait, can every string be represented as a concatenation of palindromes? Take any word, split each character. Then each character is a palindrome of length 1, so yes. Therefore, L₂ is Σ*, hence regular. Therefore option 2 is not a non-regular language.

So option 2 is not a correct answer here.

Now moving on to option 3: L₃ = { a^i b^j c^k | (i≠1 ∨ j=k) ∧ i,j,k ≥ 0 }

We need to check if this is regular or not.

Let's break down the condition: i ≠ 1 OR j = k. So the language includes words where either there are not exactly one 'a's (so i≠0,1,2,...) but wait, no: i≠1 means i can be 0 or ≥2. So the language is the union of two possibilities: words where i ≠ 1, regardless of j and k, and words where i=1 but j=k.

To check if L₃ is regular: Remember that regular languages are closed under union and intersection. But the first part (i≠1) requires some form of counting with i, but if i is fixed, not sure.

Wait, let's consider how to represent the language.

Possibility 1: The part where i ≠ 1. For this part, a regular expression would be (ε | a^2 a^*) + anything for b and c. So the language a^0 (ε) + a^2 a*, so the 'a's are either 0 or ≥2. This is regular. Then, since this is an OR, the entire language L₃ is the union of two parts:

- Part A: i ≠ 1 (so a^0 or ≥2) followed by any number of b and then any c.

- Part B: i=1 (so exactly one a), followed by b^j c^j (so j=k).

But the union of a regular language with another language can be regular or not depending on the properties of the second language.

In this case, if Part B is non-regular, then the entire language might be non-regular.

But let's see:

Part A: L_A = { a^i b^j c^k | i ≠ 1 } where i,j,k ≥0. Since i can be 0 or ≥2, and j and k are any. So this is (empty string, a^2 or more a's) followed by any combination of b's and c's. But the 'b's and 'c's can be anything. The regular expression would be something like ( (a* without a^1 ) )(b + c)* ?

But regular expressions can handle that. Because the condition on a's is that they are not exactly one, which is regular (represented as (ε + a^2 a* )). Therefore, L_A is regular.

Part B: L_B is { a b^j c^j | j ≥ 0 }, followed by any number of 'c's? Wait, no. The entire language for Part B is exactly a followed by b^j c^j (j ≥0). Because in Part B, i=1, so exactly one a, and then j =k. So for each j, the number of b's equals number of c's. But this is the classic non-regular language (like {a b^j c^j} which requires a stack to handle). Therefore L_B is not regular.

But L₃ = L_A ∪ L_B. Now, the union of a regular and a non-regular language could be regular or not. For example, if the regular language includes the non-regular one, then the union is regular. But if not, the union could be non-regular. 

So if L_A includes all the possibilities except when i=1, then L_B is only part of the entire language. Thus, the entire L₃ is the union of L_A (regular) and L_B (non-regular). The question is whether L_B is a subset of L_A. If not, then the union could be non-regular.

Suppose we take a string from L_B: 'a b^j c^j. But since in L_B, i=1, this word has exactly one a. Therefore, it's in L_B but not in L_A, since L_A requires i≠1. Therefore, L_A and L_B are disjoint.

Now, if their union were regular, then since regular languages are closed under complement and difference, the intersection with some string set would produce L_B. But let me see.

If L_A ∪ L_B were regular, then (L_A ∪ L_B) ∩ L, where L is the language {a} followed by any b* c*, would result in L_B. Because (L_A ∪ L_B) intersected with the regular language { a b^* c^* } would be exactly L_B.

But the intersection of a regular language (the union is regular) with another regular language (which it should be) would result in L_B. Hence, if the union is regular, L_B must be regular. But we know L_B is not regular. Therefore, L_A ∪ L_B is not regular. Therefore, L₃ is not regular.

Thus, option 3 is a non-regular language.

So to recap:

- Option 1: Not sure yet. Maybe regular or not. Let's think again.

- Option 2: Regular, because Kleene star of palindromes equals all strings.

- Option 3: Not regular.

Now, back to option 1: L₁ is the set of all strings where the number of "aba" substrings does not equal the number of a's. Let's think about this.

If we can model this condition with a finite automaton, perhaps by tracking the counts modulo some number. But comparing two counts directly (|w|_{a} and |w|_{aba}) seems problematic. For example, in some way, it might be possible that the counts are incompatible, but for an automaton, the exact counts can't be tracked beyond certain lengths.

Alternatively, consider applying the pumping lemma. Let's suppose L₁ is regular. Let p be the pumping length. Choose a string z where |z|_a and |z|_{aba} are equal, and then pump it to show that it breaks.

Let me try to find such a string. For example, consider the string (a b c a b a a c a)... Wait, but maybe a string with a lot of a's spaced such that there are aba substrings and the a's count properly. Wait, perhaps a string which has exactly n occurrences of 'a', but each 'aba' substring reduces the count. Alternatively, take the string a (a b a)^p a. Let me see:

Wait, maybe take a string that has p instances of aba, and p a's. 

Wait, let's try constructing a string where |w|_a equals |w|_{aba}. Let's say w = a and b: How many a's? One. How many aba's? Zero. Not equal. So this doesn't work.

Another approach: The number of aba's versus a's. Let me think of a string that has exactly one aba and two a's. For example, "aba" has two a's and one aba. Not equal.

What if I take aba repeated p times: abaabaaba... p times. The total number of a's would be 2p (since each aba has two a's). And the number of aba substrings would be p. But since 2p ≠ p (for p ≥1), this string is in L₁. That's not helpful.

Wait, but for the pumping lemma, we need a string in the language that can be pumped to be outside of the language, or vice versa. Alternatively, a string in the language that when pumped causes it to enter the equality.

Wait, perhaps the correct approach is to find a string z in L₁ such that pumping it changes the counts in such a way that they become equal. Let me pick a string where the counts are equal, so that pumping would maintain equality (but that's written as "not equal", so choose z outside of the language, but pump to get one inside, but pumping lemma requires that the string is in the language. Alternatively, find a clever way to pump.

Alternatively, maybe take a string that has no 'aba' substrings and an arbitrary number of 'a's. Then any such string would be in L₁ as long as |w|_a ≠0 (since |aba| is 0). Wait, no: For example, the string 'a' has 1 a and zero aba's, so 1 ≠0, hence in L₁. Similarly, empty string has 0 for both, so not in L₁. Hmm, so there are words both inside and outside.

Wait, perhaps choosing a string that has |a| = |aba|. Let's find such a string. For example, take 'ababa' (which is a b a b a). Let's count the 'a's: 3. Let's count aba substrings: position 1-3 and 3-5 (so two aba's). So difference here. Not equal. Not in L₁. Another example: Maybe 'aaabbbacaa' — but not sure.

Alternatively, take a string that has exactly n 'aba's and exactly n a's. Let's see. For this to happen, each 'aba' must contribute two a's, but perhaps there's overlap. However, this seems tricky.

Alternatively, take a string composed of alternating a and b's in a pattern that forms many 'aba's and adjust the number of a's. Or perhaps choose a string like 'a b a a b a a b a ...', ensuring that aba substrings are minimized and a counts are high.

This seems complicated. Alternatively, maybe L₁ is not regular and can be proven with the Myhill-Nerode theorem by finding an infinite number of pairwise distinguishable strings.

Alternatively, think of a simpler approach. Let's suppose L₁ is regular. Then its complement, which is the set of strings where |w|_{aba} = |w|_a, must also be regular. If we can prove the complement is not regular, then L₁ isn't either.

Assume that the complement L₁' is regular. Then there exists a pumping length p. We need a string s in L₁' that can't be pumped.

Take s = (aba)^p a a. Wait, maybe not. Let's create a string with exactly p copies of 'aba' and a certain number of a's. Wait, maybe the idea is similar to showing that the language of equal numbers of a's, b's, and c's isn't regular.

Alternatively, consider the string s = (a b a)^p. Then the number of 'a's here is 2p. The number of 'aba's is exactly p. These are not equal. Not in L₁'. So this is not helpful.

Alternatively, find a string that does satisfy |s|_aba = |s|_a and try to pump it. Let's suppose we find a string where |a's| equals number of aba's. For example, let's look for such a string.

Take the string "a b a". There are two a's. But how many aba's? Only one. Not equal. Not in L₁'.

Another idea: Let's take a string that has as many aba substrings as the number of a's. For example, a string like 'aabaa'. Let's count a's: 4. Count aba's: positions 1-3 (is it 'aab'? No. Or 'a a b'... Maybe overlapping?

Actually, how to count occurrences of a substring in a given string: Each contiguous sequence of characters that match the substring. So overlapping is allowed only if possible. For example, 'ababa' has occurrences at positions 1-3 (aba), positions 3-5 (aba), so two aba's. The string 'aaaa' would have 'aaa' substrings but not aba.

Wait, but if a string is 'abaaba', how many 'aba's are present? Let's see:

Positions 0-2: 'aba', then positions 3-5: 'bab' — no. Or depends on how the string is split. So that's one occurrence.

To find a string where |a| equals number of aba's. Maybe 'ababa a b a'... Maybe this is too time-consuming. Perhaps another approach is better.

Maybe try to model L₁ as regular and derive a contradiction. Suppose a machine with m states recognizes L₁. Let's take a string like a^p b^j ... etc. Alternatively, consider a string with a^p and pump the middle.

Alternatively, take the string a^p c a^p. Number of a's is 2p. Number of aba's is zero (no b's between a's), so 2p ≠ 0. Therefore the string is in L₁. Pumping it would result in longer a's, but no aba's, so even more so, in L₁.

Hmm, not helpful. Alternatively, take a word that has a lot of a's and some aba's, and pump the part that affects the counts.

Alternatively, think of the pumping lemma on the complement language. Let's assume L₁ is regular. Then, by pumping lemma for regular languages, any string longer than the pumping length can be split into xyz with |xy| ≤ p, |y| ≥1, x y^i z in L₁ for all i ≥0.

Take s = (a^2 b)^p. Number of 'a's here: 2p. Number of 'aba's: Let's see. The string is (a a b)^p. So each 'aab' has no aba. Therefore, |aba|=0, which is not equal to 2p. Therefore, s is in L₁. Thus, pumping it. But what part of s can be pumped? Suppose y is in the 'a's part. For example, y = 'aa' from the first two a's. So pumping down (i=0) would result in (a a b)^{p-1} * b ... ? So the first two a's would be removed, making first group of a's 0 a's, then b, then previous b... Hmm, in this case, 'a a b' becomes 'b b' perhaps? Not sure. The pumped down string would have (a a b)^{p-1} * b (rest of the string). Let's suppose the split is such that y is part of the first a's. The pumped string may have 'aba's created. 

This area is getting murky. Perhaps option 3 is easier to handle, so we can proceed with option 3 being non-regular. Therefore, among the options, options 1 and 2: we've ruled out option 2 as regular, option 3 as non-regular. What about option 1?

Alternatively, perhaps option 1 is regular. Because maybe |w|_a - |w|_{aba} ≡ x mod k for some k, allowing a finite automaton to track the difference modulo some number. But I'm not seeing a clear path here.

Another angle: The difference between |w|_a and |w|_{aba} can be expressed as |w|_a = (number of a's) minus the number of occurrences of the substring aba (which includes some a's). Each occurrence of aba adds two a's (the first and third characters). Now, each a can be part of multiple aba's. But maybe we can find a relation. However, how does this affect the total count?

Alternatively, each time an aba is added, how does that affect the total a's? For example, an aba is three letters a, then b, then a. So two a's. Suppose we have a general word. Let’s denote:

Let’s denote that the total number of a's in a word w is |w|_a. The number of aba substrings is N. 

Let’s think about a relationship for N and |a| counts. Each occurrence of aba accounts for two a's. However, other a's are in the string. Suppose there's an a that is not the first a of any aba substring. But tracking this exactly seems challenging.

Alternatively, perhaps we can find that |w|_a and N can't be equal under certain conditions, or that being equal requires a way of counting that's beyond regular languages.

But again, this seems difficult to model via pumping lemma. Maybe option 1 is not regular, but I'm not certain. To save time, maybe the answer is option 3 as the only one that's not regular. But the question says "mindestens eine", which means "at least one" of the options is correct. If option 3 is definitely not regular, then it's possible. But perhaps options 1 and 3 are not regular.

But let's return to L₁. If it's challenging to determine, maybe choose option 3 for the proof and mark option 3 as 1. Also, for option 1, perhaps there's a regular expression that models it. Because perhaps the difference between a and aba counts can be expressed through regular properties.

Alternatively, note that the condition |w|_a ≠ N (number of aba's) could be equivalent to |w|_a - N ≠ 0. But |w|_a - N could vary.

Alternatively, think of it as |a| - N = something. Is there a relation between them? Let's consider breaking down the word into segments between a's and non-a's. Or consider forbidden patterns when aaba, ababa, etc., but this might not help.

Alternatively, suppose we have a generating automaton with counters, but since we can't, maybe it's not regular. However, without concrete evidence from pumping lemma, this is guesswork.

Since our time is limited and we need to provide an answer, let's proceed.

The most certain one is option 3. Then the answer for non-regular would be option 3. However, another possibility: maybe option 1 is also not regular. But according to the problem, there is at least one, and we need to check all that apply and prove one. So perhaps the answers are options 1 and 3. For example, if both are non-regular, then we can choose both.

Wait, let's think again for option 1: To see if the language is regular, maybe consider the equivalence classes of Myhill-Nerode. Take the suffixes a* and see if there are infinitely many distinct classes.

Alternatively, take two words a^m and a^n with m ≠ n. We need to find a suffix z such that a^m z is in L₁ iff a^n z is not. For example, choosing z such that forming aba's. If m and n are different, perhaps then |a| in the combined word is something. But I'm not sure.

Alternatively, consider z = b a. Then a^m followed by b a is a^m b a. Number of a's: m +1. Number of 'aba's: ? The 'a^m b a' starts with m a's, a b, and an a. Are there any aba's? Only if there's an a, followed by b, followed by a. If m ≥1, the substring from the last 'a' before the b, but m a's before 'b a' — the only x in 'a^m b a' after the first a is more a's, then b. So the only a followed by b is at the transition to the b. The next character after the b is a. So if m ≥ 1, the string 'aba' appears only once as the last a before the b and the next a after the b create 'aba'. Let's take m ≥1. For example, m=1: a b a. yes, 'aba' occurs once. Number of a's total is 2. So |a|=2, |aba|=1. So 2≠1 → in L₁. For m=1, a^1 followed by z is in L₁. If m=2: a a b a. The a's followed by b is at position 2. After that comes a, so 'aba' substring: 'aab' (positions 2,3,4) would be 'a b a' → yes. So one occurrence. Number of a's: 3. So 3≠1 → in L₁. So in this case, all a^m z for m >=1 would have this. Therefore, my approach may not distinguish between m and n.

This is getting complicated. Maybe option 1 is regular, maybe not.

In such a situation, perhaps focus on the one where we're sure, which is option 3.

So, answer format requires selecting all options that are not regular. If option 3 is definitely not regular, then mark it as 1. Options 1 and 2: as of now, for option 1 we couldn't find something, and option 2 is definitely regular.

Now, when writing a proof for option 3, use the pumping lemma.

For the proof for L₃ (option 3), let's use the pumping lemma.

Choose a string that is in L₃. According to the description, the string must have i≠1 or j=k. But to apply pumping and cause it to go out of the language, we need to choose a string that relies on j=k.

So pick a string in Part B (i=1 and j=k). For example, choose the string s = a b^p c^p where p is the pumping length. This string is in L₃ because i=1 and j=k=p.

Now, apply the pumping lemma: s can be split into x y z such that |y| ≥ 1, |xy| ≤ p.

In this case, since the first p characters are in the substring a b^p c^p. The string is 'a' followed by p 'b's and p 'c's. Since |xy| ≤ p, y must be entirely within the first p characters. The first p characters are 'a' followed by p-1 'b's. So the possible cases:

Case 1: y is part of the 'a'. But the 'a' is only one character, so if y is 'a', then x=epsilon, y=a, and |xy|=1 ≤p. Pumping up (i=2) would give s' = x y^2 z = a a b^p c^p, which has i=2 (≠1), thus in L₃. So this pumping does not violate the language. Not helpful.

Case 2: y is within the 'b's. Let's say x= a, y=b^k where k≤p. z= b^{p−k} c^p. Now pump i=0: x y^0 z = a b^{p−k} c^p. Here, i=1 (since there's still one a), j=p−k, k=p. For the new string to be in L₃, either i≠1 (no) or j=k.

But j=p−k, k=p. Unless k=0, which is not. So since k≥1, j = p−k < p. Therefore, j≠k. Therefore, the pumped down string is not in L₃. Hence, contradiction. Therefore, our assumption that the language is regular is false.

Therefore, using the pumping lemma, L₃ is not regular.

So the evidence is on option 3. Therefore, in the options, for 1d3:

Options 1, 2, 3:

Assuming options 3 is 1 (correct answer). Option 2 is regular (0), option 1 is unclear but possible non-regular.

But wait, what if option 1 is also not regular? Let me think again.

Assume that L₁ = { w : |w|_aba ≠ |w|_a }

Want to see if this language is regular.

Suppose L₁ is regular. Then its complement L₁' = { w : |w|_aba = |w|_a } is also regular. Suppose regular, then pumping lemma holds for L₁'.

Take string s = 'a b a b a b a ... ' which has many occurrences of aba. For example, make a string that has exactly p 'a's and p aba's. Alternatively, construct a string where the number of 'a's equals number of 'aba's.

For example, let's take the string 'ababaababa'... but this seems hard. Alternatively, take s = (a b a)^p. How many a's are there? Each aba contributes 2 a's. So total of 2p a's. Number of aba's: for (aba)^p, each aba is non-overlapping? Or how many substrings aba can be found in 'abababa...'? For example, the string 'ababa' (length 5) has two 'aba's: positions 0-2 and 2-4.

If s = (aba)^p, then the number of occurrences of aba is p + (p-1) + ...? Not exactly. Let's count in abaaba:

Positions 0-2: aba.

Positions 3-5: aba.

So in (aba)^2, two aba.

In general, for (aba)^p, there's exactly p aba substrings if the entire string is just 'aba' repeated w/o overlapping: no, because the concatenation of aba's creates overlapping?

No. For example, if the string is 'abaaaba', then overlaps might exist, but in the case of the string spaaced with aba, e.g., 'abaaba', there are two aba substrings: positions 0-2 and 3-5.

Wait, in this case, each aba is non-overlapping. Therefore, the total number of aba's is p.

But the total number of a's here is 2p. Therefore, the string (aba)^p has 2p a's and p aba's. Therefore, this string is not in L₁ (as 2p ≠ p) but in L₁'.

To find a string in L₁', since for s ∈ L₁' we need |s|_a = |s|_aba. Let's see if such a string exists. For example, take 'a'. The counts are |a|=1, |aba|=0. Not equal. Take 'ab' → 1 a, 0 aba. 'aba' →2 a's, 1 aba. Not equal. Take 'aabaa' → number of a's is 4. How many aba's? Let's check substrings:

a a b → no. a b a → yes (positions 1-3). another aba? b a a → no. a a → etc. So one aba. Not equal.

Another approach: Find a string where each a contributes exactly one aba counter. Or some relation.

Alternatively, take a string with no aba. Then the count of aba is zero. For being in L₁', the number of a's must be zero. So the only string in L₁' with zero aba is the empty string.

Because |s|_a=0 and |s|_aba=0 → equal.

Any other strings in L₁'? For example, the string 'a a ... a' (with multiple a's can it have any aba? Only if there are at least three a's. For 'aaa' → substring aba is no, because it's aaa. So in general, to have an aba there must be b's.

If a string has no b's, then |s|_aba=0. So |s|_a must equal zero. Hence, only the empty string qualifies.

For strings with some b's. Suppose 'b b a'. Then number of a's is 1, number of aba is zero. Not in L₁'. 

This suggests that constructing a string in L₁' is difficult. Maybe the only string in L₁' is the empty string? But then, the complement would be all other strings. Is L₁' empty except for ε?

Wait, ε: |a|=0, |aba|=0 → equal. So ε is in L₁'.

What about 'abaabaa'? Let me count a's and aba's. But this is getting too time-consuming.

Alternatively, suppose that L₁' only contains ε. Then L₁' is finite, hence regular, so L₁ is regular as its complement. But if L₁' has more strings, our earlier assumption falls apart.

So assuming L₁' contains ε, 'aba' has 2 vs 1 (not equal), which isn't in L₁'. 

But what about a string like 'aba... a' which creates a balance? For example, is there any string s where the number of a's equals number of aba's? Well, if we take s = 'aab', then |a|=2, |aba|=0 (because aba requires a b in the middle). Not equal. Another example: 'aaba'. Let's check:

Substrings of 'aaba': positions 0-2 (aab), 1-3 (aba) → one aba. Number of a's=3. So 3 vs 1. Not equal. Not in L₁'.

Take 'abaaaab'. How many aba's? Not sure.

This suggests that it's very hard to find such strings, maybe only the empty string and maybe some others. If the language L₁' is finite, then it's regular. Hence L₁ is regular. Therefore, option 1's language is regular.

But how can we be certain? Maybe we can find a smart way.

If L₁' consists of only ε, then L₁' is regular. So then L₁ is regular.

Alternatively, if in all cases, the equality is impossible except for ε, then L₁' is finite. Therefore, L₁ is co-finite and regular. Because regular languages are closed under complement, co-finite here.

Hence, option 1's language is regular. Therefore, only option 3 is non-regular. So the correct answers are option 3 marked as 1, others 0.

Then the proof for option 3 using the pumping lemma as shown earlier.

Thoughts

Okay, let me tackle this problem step by step. The question is about determining for each of the three given languages L whether L is not equal to its reverse L^R. If they are not equal, I also need to provide a word that's in exactly one of them. 

Starting with option 1: L(b^*a^*b). The language L(b^*a^*b) consists of all strings generated by the regular expression b* followed by a*, then a single b. So any string in this language starts with some number of b's (including zero), followed by some number of a's (including zero), and ends with a single b. 

What's the reverse of this language? L^R would be the reverse of each string in L. Let's take a string like b^m a^n b. Reversing it gives b a^n b^m. So each string in L^R starts with a b, followed by a^n, then b^m. 

Now, does L equal L^R? Let's check. The original language allows any number of b's, then any number of a's, then exactly one b. The reversed language would have all strings in the form b a^n b^m. So is there a difference between these?

Wait, the original L can have strings like a^n b (if m=1, but the first part can be zero b's), but the reverse would start with b. For example, take the string 'aabb' (which is not in L because L ends with a single b. Wait, no. Wait, the original L is b* a* b. So the string must end with a single b. So 'ab' is allowed (0 b's, then 1 a, then 1 b?), no, wait: no. Wait, the structure of b* a* b means that after some b's (possibly zero), you have some a's (possibly zero), then exactly one b. Oh right, because the regular expression is b* followed by a*, then a single b. So the entire string must end with b, and between the b's and the final b there can be any number of a's. 

So possible strings include: b (from b* a^0 and the final b: so 0 a's and 0 a's?), wait, no. Let me parse this correctly. The regular expression is b* followed by a*, followed by b. So each string is made up of:

- Some number (possibly zero) of b's (from the first b*),
- followed by some number (possibly zero) of a's (from a*),
- followed by exactly one b (the final b).

So the total structure is b*(any number of b's) + a* (any number of a's) + b (exactly one b). Therefore, the entire string must end with exactly one b, and before that final b, there can be any number of a's (including zero) preceded by any number of b's (including zero). So for example:

- b (zero b's from the first b*, zero a's, then one b) is allowed.
- bb (first b* is two b's, followed by zero a's and one b) -> 'bbb'  (Wait, no: wait, the first b* is followed by a*, and then a single b. Wait, the entire string is (b*) (a*) (b). So the first part is b*, then the a* part, then the final b. Therefore, the total string ends with a b. The first part can have any number of b's, the second any number of a's, then a single b. So the total string is of the form (any number of b's) followed by (any number of a's) then exactly one b. Wait, that would actually be (b*) (a*) b. So the total string is any number of b's, then any a's, then one b. So the entire string can have b's, a's, then exactly one b. So the string must end with a single b, and after the final a, there's exactly one b. 

So, the language L(b^*a^*b) is all strings over {a,b} that either end with a single b and before that (to the left) have zero or more a's and zero or more b's before the a's? Or is there a way that the a's can be interleaved? Wait, no. Because the regular expression is b* followed by a* followed by b. Therefore, the structure is: only b's then a's followed by a single b. So the a's in the middle cannot have any b's after them in that part. 

Now, the reversed language would have strings of the form reversed versions of these. Let's take a string like b ab. Wait, let's take a specific example. Take the string 'ab'. In the original L, for 'ab' to exist, it must be that the first b* is zero (so 0 b's), then a* is 'a' (so one a), then the final b. So the string would be 'aab'? Wait, no. Wait, original structure is: (b^m) followed by a^n followed by one b. So the string 'ab' would have m=0 (from first b*), then n=0 (a*), then the final b. So m=0, n=0: 'b' (0 b's from first *, 0 a's, then one b). Wait, that can't be right. Wait, perhaps I'm misunderstanding the regular expression.

Wait, the regular expression is b* a* b. In standard regular expressions, these are concatenated. So the Kleene stars apply to each part. The first part is b*, then a*, then a single b. So for example:

- The first part allows any number (including zero) of b's.
- The second part allows any number (including zero) of a's.
- The third part is exactly one b.

So the entire string is composed of:

- 0 or more b's, followed by 0 or more a's, then exactly one b.

Therefore, a string like a followed by one b would be part of the language? Let's see: for example, 'ab' corresponds to m=0 b's (from first b*), n=1 a, then the final b. So yes. But 'ab' is m=0, n=1: yes, that is in the language. 

So take 'aab', that would be two a's before the final b.

Now, the reversed version of 'aab' is 'baa'. Wait, original 'aab' is in L: b* part is zero, a* is two a's, then the final b. The reversed string 'baa' would be part of L if it can be written as (b*) a* b. Let's check 'baa'. The string ends with a's, so the final part must have a b. But 'baa' ends with 'aa', so it can't be in the original L. Therefore, 'baa' is in L^R but not in L, unless there's another way to generate it. Therefore, L ≠ L^R because there's at least one string in one but not the other. Hence, for option 1, the answer would be 1.

But wait, let's check if there's a symmetry between L and L^R here. The original language has the structure that after the middle a's, there's exactly one b. But the reversed language would have a structure where the string starts with a b, followed by some a's (from the middle), then some b's. For example, a reverse string would be b a^n b^m, where m is the number of b's before the a's in the original.

But the original language allows, for example, to have a string like 'bbb', which would correspond to three b's. Let's see: 'bbb' can be broken into two parts from the original regular expression: 'bb' from the first b* (m=2), then a^0 (zero a's), then the final b, making 'bb' + '' + 'b' = 'bbbb'? Wait, no. Wait, original regular expression is b* a* b. So 'b' (from b*) followed by zero a's (a*), and then one b would make 'b1' (but that's 1+0+1 = 2? No, no. Wait, perhaps I'm getting confused.

Let me re-examine. The regular expression b* matches any number (including zero) of b's. Then comes a*, any number of a's, then exactly one b. So the entire string must end with a single b, preceded by any number of a's, which are preceded by any number of b's.

So the total string is composed of:

(b*) (a*) (b) 

So, for example:

- b: (0 b's) (0 a's) (1 b) → b
- bb: (1 b) (0 a's) (1 b) → b followed by 1 b → so 'bb', but wait: no, because the first b* can be two b's (m=2), followed by zero a's, then one b. That would make 2 b's + 0 a's + 1 b = three b's. Wait, yes. Because the first part is b*, then the a* can be zero a's, then the final b. So a string of all b's must end with exactly one b? Wait, that can't be right. Wait, no. The first part is (b*), then (a*), then (b). So for example, if the entire string is three b's, that would be:

First part: b^3 (three b's), then a^0 (zero a's), then the final b. Wait, that would make 3 + 0 + 1 = four b's. Oh! This can't be. Wait, I must have misunderstood the regular expression. Because if the regular expression is b* a* b, then each string in L must consist of a number of b's (from first b*), followed by a number of a's (from a*), followed by exactly one b. Therefore, the total string must end with a single b. Therefore, a string with multiple b's at the end can't be in L. 

Wait, wait. If I have the string 'bbb', can it be written as (some b's)(some a's)(exactly one b)? The ending is a single b, so the total string would be '...b', but that last b is the one required. So for example, 'bbb' would have first part 'bb', followed by zero a's, then the final b. So 'bb' + '' + 'b' → 'bbb' (total length 3). Wait, then in this case, that's possible. So 'bbb' is in L because you can have the first part as two b's, zero a's, then one b. So the total is two plus one = three. So in this case, the structure is correct.

But its reverse would be 'bbb' same as the original. So that's in L and L^R. However, take the string 'ab', which is in L. Reverse is 'ba', which ends with a. Is 'ba' in L? Let's see. Can 'ba' be written as (b*)(a*)(b)? The string ends with a, so the final character is a. But the regular expression requires the last character to be b. So 'ba' ends with 'a', which can't be in L. Therefore, 'ba' is in L^R but not in L. Hence, L ≠ L^R. Therefore, option 1 should be selected (1).

Now for option 2: {w ∈ Σ* : w ≠ w^R}. The language is all strings that are not palindromes. We are to check if L ≠ L^R. But L^R is the set of all reversed strings from L. So, what is L^R? Since L consists of non-palindromes, their reverses are also in L (since if w ≠ w^R, then w^R also ≠ (w^R)^R = w, so w^R is in L as well). Wait, no: suppose a string w is not a palindrome. Then its reverse is also not a palindrome because the reverse of a non-palindrome is also a non-palindrome. Therefore, L is closed under reversal, so L = L^R. Therefore, L is equal to L^R. For example, if ab is in L, then its reverse ba is also in L. Therefore, their sets are the same. Therefore, option 2 should be 0. However, wait: suppose there's a case where the reversed version of a word in L is not in L. Wait, but that's not possible. Because L is all non-palindromes, so if w is not a palindrome, then w^R is also not a palindrome, because if w = w^R, then w is a palindrome, which contradicts. Therefore, L is closed under reversal, so L equals its reverse. Hence, L = L^R, so option 2 is not selected.

Now option 3: {u a v v | u, v ∈ Σ^* }, where Σ is {a,b}. So any string where there's some a with even-length substring vv after it, right? So the structure is u a v v. The string must contain a substring 'a' such that after the 'a' part, maybe, there's some some even-length substring. But more precisely, the entire string is any prefix u, followed by an 'a', followed by a substring v, then v again, so that after the 'a' there's a v concatenated with itself.

We need to determine if L ≠ L^R. Let's consider if this language is closed under reversal. The reversed language L^R would consist of all reversed strings of u a v v. So the reversed string would be the reverse of v v followed by a, followed by reverse of u. Since u and v are arbitrary, is L equal to L^R?

Let me try to find a word that is in exactly one of L or L^R. For example, take the word 'abaab'. Is this in L? Let's see. We need to find some a in the string such that to the right of it, there's a v v. Let's check positions of a's:

First character is 'a': then the rest is 'baab'. Can 'baab' be written as v v? Let's see. v has to be length 2: 'ba' 'ab' → no. Length 4: no. Wait, 'baab' is of length 4, so v would be length 2. Let's split into 'ba' and 'ab' → not same. So no. What about the second a? Let's see: The a here is in position 3 (string index starting at 0). So after that a, what's the suffix? 'ab'. So 'ab' can be split into v v? Then v would be 'a' followed by 'b'? No, because then v v would be 'abab' but here only 'ab'. So length 1: v would be 'a' and then v again 'b' → no. So no. Thus, this word may not be in L. Wait, perhaps a better example is needed.

Alternatively, consider the word 'aab'. Can this be in L? Let's see. To find a part after an a where there is some v v. So maybe 'aab' could be written as u a v v. Let's split the string. If u is empty, a is first character, then v v is 'ab'. But ab cannot be expressed as v v. Because if v is 'a', then v v is 'aa'; if 'b', then 'bb'; if length 1, impossible. If the a is in the middle (second character?), u is 'a', a is second character, then v v would be 'b', which is length 1 → can't be. So the word 'aab' is not in L. However, its reverse 'baa' would be in L. Wait, let's check if the reverse 'baa' is in L. Let's look for an a followed by some v v. 'baa' has the first 'b' and then 'a' at position 1 and then another 'a' at position 2. So u can be 'b', a comes next, and v v can be 'aa' (v = 'a'). Yes: u is 'b', a, then v = 'a', so v v is 'aa'. So 'baa' is in L. But its reverse is 'aab', which might not be in L. Therefore, 'aab' is in L^R (as it's the reverse of 'baa'), but 'aab' is not in L. Therefore, L ≠ L^R, so option 3 should be selected (1). 

Wait, but let me confirm. The original word 'aab' reversed is 'baa'. We saw that 'baa' is in L. Therefore, 'aab' is in L^R. But is 'aab' in L? Let's see. To be in L, there must be some decomposition into u a v v. In 'aab', the first a is at position 1. So to the right is 'ab'. Can 'ab' be v v? No. If we take the second a at position 2, then the suffix is nothing. So v would have to be empty, but then v v is empty, so 'a' would be followed by empty string + empty → no. Therefore, 'aab' is not in L but in L^R. Therefore, L ≠ L^R for option 3. So option 3 is 1.

Putting this together: options 1 and 3 should be selected. Wait, but the problem says "mindestens eine Antwort möglichkeit ist richtig," so at least one is correct. Wait the initial problem says for part b, which I'm working on now: the user's previous example for part b had options a, b, c. Wait no, in the current subproblem b, the options are 1, 2, 3. So:

Option 1: selected (needs to be 1), option 2: 0, option 3: 1. Then, the answer for the template would have a word for each selected option. 

For option 1: word 'ab' (original L) reversed 'ba' is not in L. Because 'ba' ends with a. So the word 'ba' is in L^R but not in L, but the question asks for a word that is in exactly one of L and L^R. Alternatively, the original word 'ab' is in L and its reverse 'ba' is not in L, so either 'ba' is in L^R but not L. 

But the question says: "geben Sie ein Wort an, das in genau einer der Sprachen L, L^R enthalten ist." So pick either a word in L but not in L^R, or vice versa.

For option 1: the word 'ba' is in L^R (since ab is in L, reversed of ab is ba in L^R). But 'ba' is not in L because L requires that words end with b, which 'ba' ends with a. Therefore, 'ba' is in L^R but not in L. So the word 'ba' can be given as the example. 

For option 3: as discussed earlier, 'aab' is in L^R but not in L. So 'aab' would be the example for option 3.

Option 2: as discussed, L and L^R are equal. 

So, the answers should be:

Option 1: 1

Option 2: 0

Option 3: 1

And the answer template requires to fill in the word for each selected option. For the answer-template id=4, the format is:

1: word or '-'

2: word or '-'

3: word or '-'

So for option 1, 'ba', for option 2 '-', and option 3 'aab'.

So putting this all together, the answer should have:

1: ba

2: -

3: aab

But I need to verify all this again.

For option 1:

Original language L consists of strings with b*, a*, b. So strings end with one b. So 'ab' is in L: yes. Its reverse 'ba' is in L^R. Does 'ba' belong to L? 'ba' ends with a, so not in L. Therefore, 'ba' is in L^R but not in L. So for option 1, the word 'ba' can be the example.

For option 3: the word 'aab' is in L^R, because its reverse 'baa' is in L. 'aab' is not in L as verified earlier, so 'aab' is the example.

Thus, the final answer for template is:

1: ba

2: -

3: aab

I think this is correct.

Thoughts

Okay, let's see. The question is about determining which of the given languages over {0,1} are undecidable. The options are languages where the square of the cardinality of L(M_w) equals 25, 50, or 100. I need to identify which of these are undecidable. Hmm, I remember Rice's Theorem comes into play here, which states that any non-trivial semantic property of Turing machines is undecidable. 

First, let's unpack each option. The first is the set of all w where the size of L(M_w) squared is 25. That would mean L(M_w) has exactly 5 elements, because 5²=25. Similarly, the second is when the size squared is 50, but sqrt(50) is around 7.07, which isn't an integer. Wait, but |L| has to be a non-negative integer. So |L|²=50 would imply |L|=sqrt(50), which isn't possible. Therefore, the set {w : |L(M_w)|²=50} is empty because there's no natural number whose square is 50. Wait, but wait—if |L| is a non-negative integer, then |L|^2 can't be 50. So option 2's language is empty. The empty set is decidable, because a machine that always says 'no' decides it. Therefore, option 2 is not undecidable—it's decidable.

Then, option 3: |L(M_w)| squared is 100. That would imply |L(M_w)| is 10. But then again, checking whether a Turing machine accepts exactly 10 strings is non-trivial. 

Rice's Theorem: Any non-trivial property about the language recognized by a Turing machine is undecidable. A property is non-trivial if it is neither true for all recursively enumerable languages nor false for all of them. 

For option 1: The property is that the number of strings in the language is exactly 5. This is a non-trivial property because there are TMs that accept exactly 5 strings (so the property holds for some) and ones that don't (so holds for not all). Therefore, by Rice's theorem, this is undecidable. Similarly, option 3's property (size 10) is non-trivial. So options 1 and 3 are undecidable. For option 2, since the language is empty, it is decidable. So the answer should mark 1 and 3 as 1 (selected), and 2 as 0.

Now, for the proofs, let's pick one of them. Let's take language 1: {w | |L(M_w)|² =25}. Proof using Rice's theorem. The property is non-trivial because there are TMs with exactly 5 elements in their language (so yes for some) and others that have more or less (so not for all). Therefore, by Rice's Theorem, this is undecidable.

Wait, but I need to be careful. The problem says that |L(M_w|² equals a certain number, which implies |L(M_w| is exactly the square root of that number. So 25 is square, 50 isn't, 100 is. For option 2, since |L|²=50 has no solutions, the language is empty. Empty languages are decidable, so option 2 is not undecidable. For option 3, sqrt(100) is 10, so the property is that the language has exactly 10 elements. That's again a non-trivial property, hence undecidable by Rice's theorem. So options 1 and 3 are undecidable. So the correct options would have 1 and 3 marked as 1, option 2 as 0. Then, the proof for one of them needs to be provided. Let's choose option 1. 

So the answer should be:

Options 1: 1, 2:0, 3:1.

The proof for language 1 using Rice's Theorem. 

So the detailed proof would state that the property is non-trivial. There exists a TM where |L(M)|=5 (so the property holds) and a TM where it's not (like |L(M)|=6). Therefore, by Theorem of Rice, the language is undecidable.

Thoughts

Okay, let me try to work through this problem step by step. The question is about determining which of the given languages over Σ = {a, b, c} are not regular. Then, for one of them, I need to provide a proof of non-regularity.

First, let's recall some methods to prove a language isn't regular: the Pumping Lemma for regular languages, closure properties, or Myhill-Nerode theorem. The Pumping Lemma is often the go-to method for such problems.

Let's analyze each option one by one.

Option 1: {w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a}

Hmm, |w|_{aba} counts the number of times "aba" occurs as a substring, and |w|_a counts the number of 'a's. So the language consists of all strings where the count of "aba" is not equal to the count of 'a's.

Wait, does this language seem regular? Let's think. Regular languages can count up to a fixed number, but here we need to compare two counts which might grow with the length of the string. However, maybe there's a way to model this with a finite automaton.

Wait, but how do you track the number of 'a's and the number of "aba" substrings? The problem is that "aba" has overlapping possibilities. For example, in "ababa", the substring "aba" occurs twice: positions 0-2 and 2-4.

But even so, a finite automaton has limited memory. To count the number of 'a's, you'd need to track how many 'a's you've seen, but since the number can be arbitrary, you can't store that count in a finite state machine. However, maybe the relation between |w|_{aba} and |w|_a can be checked with some finite state logic.

Wait, but let's consider that |w|_a is the total number of 'a's. Each occurrence of "aba" uses two 'a's (the first and third characters). Wait, no: "aba" has 'a' at positions 1 and 3 (if we count from 1), so two 'a's per "aba". Wait, no, "aba" is a three-character string: a, b, a. So each "aba" contains two 'a's.

Wait, but maybe not exactly. For example, in the string "ababa", there are overlapping "aba"s. Let's see: "ababa" has "aba" starting at position 0 (a b a) and another starting at position 2 (b a b a?), wait no. Wait, positions 0-2: a b a, positions 1-3: b a b, positions 2-4: a b a. So two occurrences of "aba" in "ababa". The total number of 'a's is three (positions 0, 2, 4). So |w|_a = 3, |w|_{aba} = 2. So 2 ≠ 3, so this string would be in the language.

But how to relate these two counts. Hmm. Let's consider if the difference between |w|_a and 2*|w|_{aba} could be tracked. Wait, each "aba" contributes two 'a's. But overlapping complicates things. For example, if we have "ababa", as above, two "aba"s, but only three 'a's. So 2*2 =4, but actual 'a's are 3, which is less because of overlapping.

Hmm, maybe this isn't a straightforward linear relation. So tracking |w|_{aba} and |w|_a might require infinite memory. So perhaps this language is not regular. But I'm not sure yet.

Option 2: ({w ∈ Σ* : w = w^R})*

This is the Kleene star of the language of all palindromes over Σ. Palindromes themselves are not regular (can be proven via Pumping Lemma), but what about their Kleene star?

Wait, the Kleene star of a non-regular language can sometimes be regular. For example, if the original language is {a^n b^n | n ≥ 0}, then the Kleene star would include all concatenations of such strings, which is still not regular. But perhaps in some cases, it becomes regular.

Wait, but palindromes over {a, b, c} is a context-free language (CFL), and the Kleene star of a CFL is also a CFL. But is it regular?

Wait, think about the Kleene star of palindromes. Let's take Σ = {a, b} for simplicity. The palindrome language P = {w : w = w^R}. Then P* is the set of all strings that can be written as a concatenation of palindromes.

Wait, in fact, for any alphabet with at least two symbols, P* is actually equal to Σ*, because any string can be written as a concatenation of palindromes (each single character is a palindrome, so you can break any string into individual characters, each a palindrome). Wait, is that true?

Wait, for example, take the string "ab". It's not a palindrome, but it can be written as "a" concatenated with "b", both palindromes. So yes, every string can be split into single-character palindromes. Therefore, P* = Σ*, which is regular.

Wait, but wait: the same applies here. The set of all palindromes includes all single characters (since they are trivially palindromes), so the Kleene star would allow concatenating any number of single characters, hence generating all possible strings. Therefore, the Kleene star of the palindrome language is Σ*, which is regular.

Wait, that's a key insight. So option 2's language is actually regular because P* = Σ*, which is regular. Therefore, option 2 is regular, so it's not a correct answer (since the question asks for languages that are NOT regular).

Wait, but wait: in the problem statement, Σ = {a, b, c}, so same applies here. All single-character strings are palindromes, so their concatenation can form any string, hence the Kleene star is Σ*. So option 2 is regular. Therefore, option 2 is not one of the correct choices.

Now option 3: {a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i, j, k ≥ 0}

Let's parse this condition. The language consists of all strings where either i ≠ 1 OR j = k. So the strings that are excluded are those where i = 1 AND j ≠ k.

So we can think of this language as the union of:

- All strings with i ≠ 1 (regardless of j and k), and

- All strings with j = k (regardless of i).

Wait, but union of two languages. Now, the question is whether this union is regular.

We know that {a^i b^j c^k | j = k} is not regular (it's a classic example of a non-regular language; similar to a^j b^j). However, regular languages are closed under union. If one part is non-regular and the other is regular, then the union might still be non-regular.

Wait, but let's break it down:

Let’s denote L = A ∪ B, where A = {a^i b^j c^k | i ≠ 1} and B = {a^i b^j c^k | j = k}.

First, consider language A. A consists of all strings of a^i b^j c^k where i ≠ 1. So the complement of A is {a^1 b^j c^k}, which is regular? Wait, no: the complement would be all strings not in A, which includes strings that are not of the form a^i b^j c^k (since the entire universe here is strings over {a,b,c}, but the language A is defined as a subset of a^i b^j c^k). Wait, actually, the language in question is a subset of a*b*c*, because the condition applies when i,j,k >= 0, but a^i b^j c^k implies all a's first, then b's, then c's. Wait, no: the problem statement says {a^i b^j c^k}, which is the set of strings consisting of some number of a's, followed by some number of b's, followed by some number of c's. So the language is a subset of a*b*c*.

Therefore, A is {a^i b^j c^k | i ≠ 1} which is a*b*c* minus the language a^1 b^j c^k. Since a*b*c* is regular, and subtracting a regular language from a regular language gives regular, but wait: the complement of A within a*b*c* would be {a^1 b^j c^k}, which is regular. Therefore, A is regular.

B is {a^i b^j c^k | j = k}. As mentioned, this is similar to a^j b^j, which is non-regular. However, B is over three symbols. If we fix i (say i=0), then we have b^j c^j, which is non-regular. Therefore, B is non-regular.

But L = A ∪ B. Now, if a language is the union of a regular language and a non-regular language, is the result necessarily non-regular? Let's see:

Suppose L = A ∪ B, where A is regular, B is non-regular.

If L were regular, then B = L ∩ (complement of A) would be regular (since regular languages are closed under intersection and complement). But B is non-regular, so L cannot be regular.

Wait, but wait: A is regular, so complement of A is regular. Then L ∩ complement(A) = (A ∪ B) ∩ complement(A) = B ∩ complement(A). If B ∩ complement(A) is non-regular, then L must be non-regular.

But in this case, complement(A) is {a^1 b^j c^k}, because A is all a^i b^j c^k with i≠1. So B ∩ complement(A) is {a^1 b^j c^k | j = k}, which is {a b^j c^j | j ≥ 0}. This language is non-regular (same as b^j c^j, which is non-regular). Hence, B ∩ complement(A) is non-regular, so L cannot be regular (otherwise, intersecting with complement(A) would give a regular language). Therefore, L = A ∪ B is non-regular.

Wait, but the question is whether L is **not** regular, so option 3 is non-regular, hence a correct choice.

Wait, but let's make sure. Let's see if there's a mistake here.

Alternative approach: Let's consider whether L is regular.

Suppose for contradiction that L is regular. Consider the regular language R = a b^* c^* (i.e., strings starting with 'a', followed by any number of 'b's and 'c's). Then the intersection L ∩ R would be {a b^j c^k | (1 ≠ 1 ∨ j = k)} which simplifies to {a b^j c^k | j = k}, since 1 ≠1 is false, so the condition reduces to j=k. Therefore, L ∩ R = {a b^j c^j | j ≥0}, which is non-regular. But regular languages are closed under intersection, so if L were regular, L ∩ R would be regular. Contradiction. Therefore, L is not regular. So option 3 is non-regular.

Now, back to option 1.

Option 1: {w ∈ Σ* : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a}

This one is trickier. Let's think about whether we can construct a DFA for this.

First, |w|_a is the number of 'a's in w. |w|_{aba} is the number of times 'aba' appears as a substring.

The language consists of all strings where these two numbers are different.

Hmm. Let's consider what's needed to check if |w|_{aba} equals |w|_a.

For a string to have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a, each 'a' would have to be part of exactly one 'aba'... but that's impossible, since each 'aba' uses two 'a's (the first and third character), so each 'aba' contributes two 'a's. Wait, but |w|_a is the total count, so if there are k occurrences of 'aba', then the number of 'a's would be at least 2k (but possibly more, since some 'a's might not be part of any 'aba').

Wait, but the condition |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a would exclude strings where the number of 'aba's is exactly equal to the number of 'a's. But since each 'aba' has two 'a's, the number of 'a's is at least 2*|w|_{aba} (if all 'a's are in 'aba's, but overlapping might reduce the total).

Wait, perhaps this is a red herring, but maybe it's impossible to have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a. For example, if |w|_{aba} = k, then the minimal number of 'a's is 2k (if no overlap), but overlapping could give more. Wait, for example, 'ababa' has two 'aba's (positions 0-2 and 2-4), and three 'a's. So 2k = 2*2=4, but actual 'a's are 3. So 3 < 4. Wait, that's not possible. Wait, no: in 'ababa', the 'a's are at positions 0, 2, 4. So three 'a's. Each 'aba' has two 'a's, so two 'aba's would account for 4 'a's, but they overlap on the middle 'a' (position 2). So the total 'a's are 3, which is 2 + 1 (each 'aba' after the first reuses an 'a'). So in this case, |w|_a = k + 1, where k is |w|_{aba}.

Wait, maybe there's a pattern here. Let's see:

For k=0: |w|_a could be 0,1,2,...; condition is 0 ≠ |w|_a → any string with at least one 'a' but no 'aba' would satisfy this.

But the question is whether the complement language (where |w|_{aba} = |w|_a) is empty or not. If the complement is empty, then the language is Σ*, which is regular. But if the complement is non-empty but not regular, then the language would not be regular.

Wait, let's check if there are any strings where |w|_{aba} = |w|_a.

Take the empty string: |w|_a = 0, |w|_{aba}=0. So 0=0, so empty string is in the complement. Therefore, the complement language is non-empty.

Another example: take string 'b'. Both counts are 0, so 0=0 → complement includes 'b'.

Wait, but the language in option 1 is where the counts are not equal, so the complement is where they are equal. So the complement includes the empty string, 'b', 'c', 'bb', etc., which have no 'a's and no 'aba's.

But are there any non-trivial strings in the complement? Suppose a string with one 'a'.

Take 'a': |w|_a =1, |w|_{aba}=0. So 0≠1, so 'a' is in the language (so complement does not include 'a').

String 'ab': |w|_a=1, |w|_{aba}=0 → not equal.

String 'aba': |w|_a=2, |w|_{aba}=1. So 1 ≠ 2 → not in complement.

String 'ababa': |w|_a=3, |w|_{aba}=2. 2≠3.

String 'abaaba': Let's see 'abaaba' is 'a b a a b a'.

Break it down. Substrings:

Positions 0-2: aba → count 1.

Positions 1-3: baa → no.

Positions 2-4: aaa → no.

Positions 3-5: aba → count 2.

So |w|_{aba}=2. |w|_a: 1,3,4,6? Wait, 'abaaba' has 'a's at positions 0,2,3,5. So four 'a's. So 2≠4.

Is there any string where |w|_{aba} equals |w|_a?

Let's see, suppose |w|_{aba} = k and |w|_a = k.

Given that each 'aba' requires two 'a's (but overlaps may allow fewer), but to have k = |w|_a, the number of 'a's must equal k, which is the number of 'aba's.

Let me try to construct such a string.

Let’s take k=0: |w|_a=0, any string with no 'a's. So strings like 'b', 'c', 'bb', etc. Here, |w|_{aba}=0, so 0=0. So these are in the complement.

k=1: Need |w|_a=1 and |w|_{aba}=1. But to have 'aba', we need at least two 'a's (as in 'aba' itself, which has two 'a's). Wait, 'aba' has 'a's at first and third positions. So |w|_a=2. So to have |w|_{aba}=1, we need at least two 'a's. Hence, can't have |w|_a=1 and |w|_{aba}=1. So no string with k=1.

k=2: Need |w|_a=2 and |w|_{aba}=2. Can we have a string with two 'a's and two 'aba's? Unlikely, because two 'aba's would require at least three positions, but overlapping. For example, 'ababa' has two 'aba's (positions 0-2 and 2-4), and three 'a's. So three 'a's, but two occurrences of 'aba'. So 2≠3.

What if there's a string with two 'aba's and exactly two 'a's? Impossible, since each 'aba' contains two 'a's, so two 'aba's would require at least two 'a's, but overlapping could share an 'a'. Wait, 'aba' uses two 'a's. If we have two 'aba's overlapping: 'ababa' has two 'aba's and three 'a's, which is the minimal for two 'aba's.

Wait, maybe there's no way to have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a when |w|_a ≥1. Because:

Assume |w|_a = k ≥1. Then to have |w|_{aba}=k.

But each occurrence of 'aba' consumes two 'a's, but overlaps may share one 'a' between occurrences. For example, each additional 'aba' after the first may only add one new 'a'.

Wait, let's model it. Suppose we have a string that is a sequence of overlapping 'aba's. Starting with 'aba' (length 3, 'a's at 0,2), next 'aba' starts at position 2: 'ababa' (length 5, 'a's at 0,2,4). Here, two 'aba's, three 'a's. So each 'aba' after the first adds one 'a'.

So for m occurrences of 'aba', the number of 'a's is m + 1.

For example, m=1: 2 'a's (aba: a's at 0,2)

Wait, wait, 'aba' has two 'a's. Wait, positions 0,2 in a 3-character string: yes, two 'a's.

For 'ababa' (5 characters), two 'aba's, a's at 0,2,4: three 'a's.

For 'abababa' (7 characters), three 'aba's (positions 0-2, 2-4, 4-6), a's at 0,2,4,6: four 'a's.

So the number of 'a's is m + 1, where m is the number of 'aba's.

So m = number of 'aba's, a's = m + 1.

Thus, m = a's -1.

Thus, m = a's -1 → m = |w|_a -1 → |w|_{aba} = |w|_a -1.

Thus, in such maximally overlapping 'aba' sequences, |w|_{aba} = |w|_a -1.

Hence, |w|_{aba} = |w|_a -1 → the difference is 1.

Therefore, to have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a, it's impossible in such cases.

What about non-overlapping occurrences?

Take 'abaaba' (a b a a b a).

This has 'aba' at positions 0-2 and 3-5. So two 'aba's.

Number of 'a's: positions 0,2,3,5 → four 'a's.

Thus, |w|_{aba}=2, |w|_a=4 → 2=4? No.

In this case, each 'aba' is separate, contributing two 'a's each. So 2 'aba's give 4 'a's. Thus, |w|_{aba}=m, |w|_a=2m.

So here, 2m = |w|_a → |w|_{aba} = |w|_a / 2.

Thus, |w|_{aba} = |w|_a only if |w|_a = 0 (then both are 0), but if |w|_a = 0, any string with no 'a's will have |w|_{aba}=0.

Wait, but when there are no 'a's in the string, then |w|_a = 0 and |w|_{aba} = 0 (since 'aba' contains 'a's), so 0=0. So all strings with no 'a's are in the complement (i.e., in the set where counts are equal).

Additionally, if there is at least one 'a', can we have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a?

As per the overlapping example: |w|_{aba} = |w|_a -1, so only if |w|_a = |w|_a -1 → impossible.

For non-overlapping: |w|_{aba} = |w|_a / 2. So to have equality, need |w|_a / 2 = |w|_a → |w|_a = 0.

Other configurations: Suppose a string with some 'a's not part of 'aba's. For example, take 'a' followed by a string of 'b's and 'c's that includes 'aba's. Wait, but 'a' by itself has |w|_a=1, |w|_{aba}=0 → 0≠1.

Suppose 'aa': |w|_a=2, |w|_{aba}=0 → 0≠2.

String 'abacaba' (a b a c a b a). Let's check:

Substrings of length 3:

0-2: aba → count 1.

1-3: bac → no.

2-4: aca → no.

3-5: cab → no.

4-6: aba → count 2.

So |w|_{aba}=2. Number of 'a's: positions 0,2,4,6 → four 'a's. So 2≠4.

Thus, seems like the only strings where |w|_{aba} = |w|_a are those strings with no 'a's (and hence no 'aba's), or maybe some edge cases.

Wait, the empty string: count 0=0.

Strings like 'b', 'c', 'bb', etc., count 0=0.

Are there any strings with 'a's where |w|_{aba} = |w|_a?

Let's suppose a string that has exactly one 'aba' and one 'a'. But 'aba' has two 'a's, so |w|_a would be at least 2, hence |w|_{aba}=1, |w|_a=2 → 1≠2.

No. What if a string has three 'a's arranged to create one 'aba' and another 'a' somewhere else. For example, 'abaxa' where x is not b. Wait, 'abaxa':

Substring 'aba' at start, then 'x' followed by 'a'. So |w|_{aba}=1, |w|_a=3 → 1≠3.

Hmm. It seems impossible to have |w|_{aba} = |w|_a when there are any 'a's in the string.

Therefore, the complement language (where equality holds) is exactly the set of strings with no 'a's. Because if a string has any 'a's, |w|_{aba} < |w|_a (since even if you have 'aba's, each contributes to the count but requires at least two 'a's).

Wait, no: for instance, if a string has one 'a', |w|_{aba}=0, so 0≠1.

If a string has two 'a's, say 'aa', |w|_{aba}=0. If the two 'a's are with a 'b' in between: 'aba', which has |w|_a=2, |w|_{aba}=1. So 1≠2.

Three 'a's: 'aaba' has 'a' at 0,1,3. Substrings: 'aab' (no), 'aba' at 1-3. So |w|_{aba}=1. |w|_a=3. 1≠3.

Wait, 'abba' has 'a's at 0 and 3. No 'aba's. So |w|_{aba}=0, |w|_a=2. 0≠2.

So whenever there is at least one 'a', |w|_a ≥1, and |w|_{aba} is less than |w|_a. Because:

- If there's one 'a', 'aba' can't occur at all.

- With two 'a's, the only way to get an 'aba' is if they are arranged as 'aba' (positions 0,2), giving |w|_{aba}=1, but |w|_a=2, so 1 < 2.

- With three 'a's in 'ababa', |w|_{aba}=2, |w|_a=3 → 2 <3.

So in all cases where there's at least one 'a', |w|_{aba} < |w|_a. Hence, equality holds only when there are no 'a's (and hence no 'aba's).

Therefore, the complement of the language in option 1 is the set of all strings with no 'a's, which is {b,c}*.

Wait, that's a regular language! Because {b,c}* is regular.

Therefore, the language in option 1 is Σ* minus {b,c}*, which is all strings containing at least one 'a'.

Wait, wait:

If the complement is {w : |w|_{aba} = |w|_a} = {w : w has no 'a's}, then the language L1 = {w : |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a} is equal to Σ* \ {b,c}*.

Which is the set of all strings that contain at least one 'a'. Because any string with at least one 'a' will have |w|_a ≥1, and as we saw, |w|_{aba} < |w|_a (for strings with 'a's), so the inequality holds. Strings without 'a's have both counts 0, so they are excluded from L1.

Wait, but {w : contains at least one 'a'} is a regular language. It's the complement of {b,c}*, which is regular. Therefore, L1 is regular.

Wait, this is a critical point. If L1 is all strings with at least one 'a', then yes, it's regular. But wait, how does this align with our previous reasoning?

Earlier, I thought that the complement (equality) is exactly {b,c}*. Because when there are no 'a's, |w|_{aba}=|w|_a=0. When there are any 'a's, |w|_{aba} < |w|_a, hence |w|_{aba} ≠ |w|_a.

Thus, the language in option 1 is {w | w contains at least one 'a'}, which is regular.

Wait, can this be true? Let's test with some examples.

- 'a' is in L1: |w|_{aba}=0, |w|_a=1 → 0≠1. Correct.

- 'b' is not in L1: counts equal (0=0).

- 'ab' is in L1: yes.

- 'aba' is in L1: |aba|_a=2, |aba|_{aba}=1 → 1≠2. Yes.

- 'abab' : |w|_a=2 (positions 0 and 2), |w|_{aba}=1 (positions 0-2). So 1≠2. In L1.

- 'ababa' : |w|_a=3, |w|_{aba}=2 → 2≠3. In L1.

- 'ba' : |w|_a=1, |w|_{aba}=0 → in L1.

Yes, all strings with at least one 'a' are in L1. So L1 is {w | contains at least one 'a'}, which is regular.

But wait, what about a string that has 'a's but no 'aba' substrings? Like 'aaa'.

In 'aaa', |w|_a=3, |w|_{aba}=0 (since 'aba' requires a 'b' between 'a's). So 0≠3 → in L1.

Another example: 'acab' (a c a b). |w|_a=2. Does 'aba' occur? No, because the second 'a' is followed by 'c', then 'a', then 'b'. Wait, the substrings 'aca' and 'cab' don't contain 'aba'. So |w|_{aba}=0. So 0≠2 → in L1.

Hm, so all strings that have any 'a's are in L1, regardless of whether they have 'aba' or not. This is because either:

- If the string has 'a's but no 'aba's: then |w|_{aba}=0 and |w|_a ≥1 → 0≠1 (or higher).

- If the string has 'a's and some 'aba's: |w|_{aba} < |w|_a as shown earlier.

Thus, L1 is indeed exactly the set of strings containing at least one 'a', which is regular.

Therefore, option 1 is regular.

So in summary:

- Option 1: regular.

- Option 2: regular (since P* = Σ*).

- Option 3: not regular.

Wait, but wait: option 2, {w = w^R}*. I thought that this is equal to Σ* because any string can be written as a concatenation of single-character palindromes, hence the Kleene star is all strings. Let me confirm.

Yes, the set of all palindromes includes all single-character strings (since they are palindromes), so the Kleene star will include any concatenation of single characters, i.e., all possible strings. So P* = Σ*, which is regular.

Therefore, option 2 is regular.

Option 3 is not regular.

Wait, but the problem statement says "Welche der folgenden Sprachen sind **NICHT** regulär? Kreuzen Sie **alle** zutreffenden an."

So the answer should be option 3.

Wait, but according to my analysis, option 1 and 2 are regular, option 3 is not.

But wait, the user instructions say "Mindestens eine Antwortmöglichkeit ist immer richtig." So at least one is correct. So if only option 3 is not regular, then that's the correct choice.

But earlier analysis suggests that.

But let me check option 3 again.

Language L3: {a^i b^j c^k : (i ≠ 1 ∨ j = k) ∧ i,j,k ≥0}

As we said, this is equivalent to all strings in a*b*c* where either i ≠ 1 or j = k.

The complement of L3 within a*b*c* is {a^i b^j c^k : i = 1 and j ≠k}.

If L3 were regular, then its intersection with a b* c* (which is regular) would be regular. That intersection is {a b^j c^k : j ≠k}, which is the same as the language {a b^j c^k | j ≠k}.

But {b^j c^k | j ≠k} is known to be non-regular (similar to a^j b^k where j ≠k is regular? Wait, no. Wait, {b^j c^k | j = k} is non-regular, but {j ≠k} is the complement. However, the complement of a non-regular language isn't necessarily regular.

Wait, actually, {b^j c^k | j =k} is context-free but not regular. Its complement within b*c* is {b^j c^k | j ≠k}, which is also context-free but not regular. Because if {j ≠k} were regular, then {j=k} would also be regular (complement of regular is regular), which it's not.

Therefore, {a b^j c^k | j ≠k} is non-regular. Hence, L3's intersection with a b* c* is non-regular, implying L3 is not regular.

So option 3 is indeed not regular.

So the only non-regular language is option 3.

Wait, but the problem says "Kreuzen Sie **alle** zutreffenden an", so it's possible that multiple options are correct. But according to our analysis, only option 3 is non-regular.

But let's double-check option 1.

Option 1: language is all strings with at least one 'a', which is regular. So option 1 is regular.

Option 2: P* = Σ*, regular.

Hence, the correct choice is option 3.

But the question says to select all that apply, so option 3 should be the only checked one.

But wait, the initial problem statement says "Mindestens eine Antwortmöglichkeit ist immer richtig." So there's at least one correct option.

Now, the user must choose **alle** zutreffenden, i.e., all correct ones. So according to this analysis, only option 3.

But let me check option 1 again.

Wait, another way: suppose there exists a string with 'a's where |w|_{aba} = |w|_a. If such a string exists, then the complement of L1 is not just {b,c}*, which would mean L1 is not simply {w | contains 'a'}, but a different language.

Wait, according to earlier reasoning, it's impossible to have such a string. Let's verify with a potential case.

Take string 'ababab'.

Let's count 'aba's:

Positions 0-2: aba → 1.

Positions 2-4: bab → no.

Positions 4-6: aba → 2.

So |w|_{aba}=2.

|w|_a: positions 0,2,4,6 (wait, the string is a b a b a b → length 6. a at 0,2,4 → three 'a's.

So |w|_a=3. |w|_{aba}=2. 2≠3.

Hmm. 'ababa' has a's at 0,2,4 → three 'a's; 'aba's at 0-2 and 2-4 → two.

So |w|_{aba}=2 = 3-1.

Another example: 'abababa' (length 7).

a's at 0,2,4,6 → four 'a's.

'aba's at 0-2, 2-4, 4-6 → three.

So |w|_{aba}=3 =4-1.

Thus, pattern holds: m = n -1 where m=|w|_{aba}, n=|w|_a.

So m = n -1 → n = m +1.

So equality m =n would require m = m +1 → 0=1, impossible.

If arranged non-overlapping: 'abaaba' has 'aba' at 0-2 and 3-5.

a's at 0,2,3,5 → four 'a's.

m=2, n=4 → m = n/2.

Thus, m =n/2. To have m=n, need n= n/2 → n=0.

Which again implies that only possible when n=0.

Therefore, indeed, the only strings where m =n are those with n=0 (no 'a's), hence complement of L1 is {b,c}*, so L1 is Σ* \ {b,c}*, which is regular.

Therefore, option 1 is regular.

So only option 3 is non-regular.

Wait, but the exercise says "Wählen Sie anschließend **eine** solche Sprache und beweisen Sie, dass diese nicht regulär ist."

So we need to pick one language that's not regular and provide a proof. Since only option 3 is not regular, the proof must be for option 3.

Now, to prove option 3 isn't regular. Using Pumping Lemma.

Let's write the proof.

Let’s assume L3 is regular. Then it satisfies the Pumping Lemma. Let p be the pumping length.

Consider the string s = a b^p c^p. This string is not in L3 because i=1 (so the first condition of i≠1 is false) and j=k (so the second condition is true), but the language requires i≠1 OR j=k. Wait, wait: the condition is (i≠1 ∨ j=k) ∧ i,j,k≥0. So for s = a b^p c^p, i=1, j=p, k=p. So i≠1 is false, j=k is true. Therefore, the entire condition is true (false OR true → true), so s is in L3. Oops, that's a problem.

Wait, we need a string that is **not** in L3 to apply Pumping Lemma. Because L3 is supposed to be regular; if we can pump a string out of the language.

Wait, the correct approach is to find a string s in L3 that cannot be pumped.

Wait, no: the Pumping Lemma says that **all** strings in the language longer than p can be pumped. So if we can find a string in L3 which, when pumped, leaves the language, then L3 is not regular.

Wait, but the standard technique is to choose a string that's in the language, but pumping it leads to a string not in the language.

Alternatively, sometimes we choose a string in the complement.

But given the condition (i≠1 ∨ j=k), the complement within a*b*c* is (i=1 ∧ j≠k).

So let's work with the complement. Suppose L3 is regular, then its intersection with a b* c* (which is regular) is regular. That intersection is {a b^j c^k | j =k} ∪ {a b^j c^k | i≠1} intersection with a b* c*.

Wait, no. L3 is all strings in a*b*c* where i≠1 or j=k.

Thus, the intersection L3 ∩ (a b* c*) = {a b^j c^k | (1≠1 ∨ j=k)} = {a b^j c^k | j=k }, since 1≠1 is false.

Wait, i=1 because it's in a b* c* part: the a^i here has i=1.

Wait, no: a b* c* corresponds to i=1. So L3 ∩ (a b* c*) = {a b^j c^k | true OR j=k }? Wait, no: the condition for L3 is (i≠1 ∨ j=k). In this intersection, i=1, so i≠1 is false. Hence, the condition reduces to j=k. Therefore, L3 ∩ (a b* c*) = {a b^j c^k | j=k }, which is equal to a{b^j c^j | j ≥0}.

This language is clearly non-regular (as {b^j c^j} is non-regular, and adding a prefix doesn't change that). Since regular languages are closed under intersection, if L3 were regular, this intersection would be regular. Contradiction. Hence, L3 is not regular.

This is a better approach than Pumping Lemma, using closure properties.

But the problem asks to prove using a proof, so perhaps writing this as the proof.

Alternatively, using Pumping Lemma on the language {a b^j c^j}.

Let me outline the proof for option 3.

Proof for language 3:

Assume L3 is regular. Consider the regular language R = a b* c*. The intersection L3 ∩ R consists of all strings a b^j c^k in L3. Since i=1 in R, the condition (i ≠1 ∨ j=k) simplifies to j=k. Thus, L3 ∩ R = {a b^j c^j | j ≥0}. This language is not regular (can be shown via Pumping Lemma). However, since regular languages are closed under intersection, L3 ∩ R must be regular if L3 is regular. Contradiction. Therefore, L3 is not regular.

This is the proof.

Thoughts

Okay, let's tackle subproblem b. The question is asking for which of the given languages L, L is not equal to L^R (the reverse of L). Also, for each such language, we need to provide a word that is in exactly one of L or L^R.

First, let's recall that L^R is the set of all reversed strings in L. So if L is not equal to L^R, there must be some string that's in L but not in L^R, or vice versa.

Let's go through each option one by one.

Option 1: L(b^*a^*b). This is the regular language described by the expression. Let's parse that. It's all strings that have zero or more b's, followed by zero or more a's, followed by a single b. Wait, no, the regular expression is b* a* b. Wait, but regular expressions can have multiple stars. Wait, the notation L(b* a* b) would be all strings that match b* followed by a* followed by b. So for example, strings like b (since you can have zero b's before the a*, but then a* would be zero a's, and then the final b), or bb (wait no: b* is any number of b's, then a* any number of a's, then a b. Wait, no. Wait, the regular expression is b* a* b. So the structure is: some number of b's (including zero), then some number of a's (including zero), then exactly one b. So the strings must end with a single b. Wait, no: a* is zero or more a's, then followed by a single b. Wait, the last part is b, which is a single b. So the entire string ends with a b. Let's take some examples. For instance, the string 'b' is in L: b* has one b, a* zero a's, then followed by a b? Wait, no, maybe the regular expression is *concatenation*: (b*) . (a*) . (b). Wait, but the expression is b* a* b. Wait, maybe there's a typo. Wait, standard regex notation: b* a* b would be, for example, b's (any number), then a's (any number), then a single b. So the string would end with a b. So 'b' is possible (b*: 1, a*: 0, then b: 1? Wait, no. Wait, if it's b* a* b, then the entire string is something like (b^k)(a^m)(b), where k >=0, m >=0. So the length is k + m +1, and the last character is b. For example, 'b' would be k=0, m=0, then b: so the string is 'b'. Another example: 'aabb' would not be in the language because after a's there's two b's. Wait, no: the expression ends with a single b, so the string must end with exactly one b. Wait, no. Wait, the regular expression is b* a* b, so it's b* followed by a* followed by b. So the last character must be a b. So strings in L are all strings that end with a single b, preceded by any number of b's and then any number of a's. Wait, but the a's come after the initial b's. Wait, no: the order is b*, then a*, then b. So for example, a string like 'bb' would not be in the language because after the a* part (which in this case is zero a's), there must be exactly one b. Wait, no: the regular expression is b* followed by a* followed by b. So the total string is [b^k][a^m]b. So the length is k + m +1, and the last character is b. So 'bb' would require k=1, m=0, then b: so 'b' followed by the final 'b'? Wait, no. Let's take the string 'b' (k=0, m=0, then b). So 'b' is in L. The string 'ab' is a* part is 'a', so yes: b* (0), a* (1), then b (1) → 'a' + 'b' = 'ab' → wait, no. Wait, b* is first, then a*, then b. So for example, 'ab' would be: b* is 0 b's, a* is 1 a, then a b. So the string is 'a' followed by 'b' → 'ab'. So 'ab' is in L. What about 'ba'? No, because after the a's (which would be 0), we have the b. Wait, 'ba' would be b* (1), a* (0), then b (but then it would be 'b' followed by 'b' → 'bb'?), no. Wait, perhaps I need to clarify.

Wait, regular expressions are read as concatenation. So b* a* b means: any number of b's (including zero), followed by any number of a's (including zero), followed by a single b. So the entire string must end with a b, and there can't be any characters after that. So for example, 'b' is in L (0 b's, 0 a's, then 1 b). 'aab' is in L (0 b's, 2 a's, then 1 b). 'bb' would be: the first part b* is 1 b, a* is 0 a's, then 1 b → so 'b' followed by 'b' → 'bb'? Wait, but then the expression would generate 'b' followed by 'b', but the last part is supposed to be a single b. Wait, no. Wait, the expression is b* . a* . b. So for 'bb', it's (b^1)(a^0)(b^1), which gives 'b' + '' + 'b' = 'bb'. Wait, but the last part is a single b. So yes, 'bb' is allowed. Wait, no, because the third part is a single b. So the total string would be b^k followed by a^m followed by b^1. So total length is k + m +1. So 'bb' would be k=1, m=0, so length 1 + 0 + 1 = 2. So yes, 'bb' is in L.

Wait, but then L is all strings over {a,b} that have a b at the end, with all a's (if any) coming after any b's? No, because the structure is b* first, then a*, then b. So the a's come after the initial b's but before the final b. Wait, no: the final b is the last character. So the a's must come between the initial b's and the final b. So for example, 'ab' would be b* is 0, a* is 'a', then 'b' → 'ab'. 'ba' would not be in L because after 'b' (from b*), a* is zero, then final 'b' → 'b' + '' + 'b' = 'bb', which is 'bb', not 'ba'. Wait, 'ba' would require that the a comes after the first b but before the final b. Wait, that's impossible because the final character has to be b. So 'ba' ends with 'a', so it can't be in L. Therefore, all strings in L end with 'b'.

Now, what about L^R? L^R is the set of reversed strings. So each string in L^R ends with 'b' reversed, which would start with 'b'. Wait, no: reversing a string that ends with 'b' will start with 'b'. For example, 'ab' is in L (since it's 'a' followed by 'b'). Reversed, it's 'ba', which would be in L^R. Now, is 'ba' in L? Let's see. L consists of strings of the form [b^k][a^m][b]. The string 'ba' would have to be expressed as b^k a^m b. Let's see: 'ba' is 'b' followed by 'a'. But according to the structure, after the a^m comes a 'b', so the last character has to be 'b'. But 'ba' ends with 'a', so it can't be in L. Therefore, 'ba' is in L^R (since 'ab' is in L) but not in L. So L^R ≠ L for option 1.

Wait, let's check. Let's formalize.

Original L: strings of the form (b^k)(a^m)(b), where k ≥0, m ≥0.

So examples: 'b' (k=0, m=0), 'bb' (k=1, m=0), 'ab' (k=0, m=1), 'bab' (k=1, m=1, then b → 'b' + 'a' + 'b' = 'bab'? Wait, no: k=1 (b*), m=1 (a*), then b → 'b' + 'a' + 'b' = 'bab' → length 3. So yes, 'bab' is in L.

Reversed strings would be: for 'b' → 'b'; 'bb' → 'bb'; 'ab' → 'ba'; 'bab' → 'bab' (since it's a palindrome). So L^R contains strings like 'b', 'bb', 'ba', 'bab', etc.

Now, 'ba' is in L^R but not in L, as 'ba' ends with 'a', so cannot be formed by (b^k)(a^m)(b). So L^R is different from L. Thus, option 1 is a language where L ≠ L^R.

Wait, but let's confirm: what's L^R for option 1.

Given L = { b^k a^m b | k,m ≥0 }, then L^R = { b^R (a^m)^R (b^k)^R } = { b (a^m) (b^k) } since reversing each part. Wait, no: the reversal of a concatenation is the concatenation of reversals in reverse order. So (xyz)^R = z^R y^R x^R. So for a string w = x y z where x ∈ b*, y ∈ a*, z = b (a single b), then w^R = z^R y^R x^R = b (a^m) (b^k), since x is b^k, reversed is still b^k (since it's all b's), same with a^m. So L^R is the set of all strings of the form b a^m b^k, where m, k ≥0. Wait, no: because the original string is x (b*), y (a*), z (b). So w = x y z, x ∈ b*, y ∈ a*, z = b (length 1). Then w^R = z^R y^R x^R = b (a^m) (b^k), since z is a single b, which reversed is b; y is a^m, reversed is a^m; x is b^k, reversed is b^k.

Thus, L^R = { b a^m b^k | m ≥0, k ≥0 }.

So L is strings ending with b, starting with any number of b's, then a's, then a single b. Wait, no: the structure is x = b^k (so first part is k b's), then y = a^m (m a's), then z = b (1 b). So the entire string is b^k a^m b. So the last character is b, the first k characters are b's, then m a's, then one b. Wait, no: the sum of lengths is k + m + 1, so the last character is the final b. The first k characters are b's, then m a's, then one b. So, for example, if k=2, m=1: 'bba' followed by 'b' → 'bbab'.

Wait, but 'bbab' ends with 'b', correct.

So L consists of all strings where after some initial b's, then some a's (possibly none), then a single b. So the last character is b, and there could be a's before the final b.

L^R would be the set of strings where the reversed string has the structure: the original string's last character (b) first, then the a's in reverse (which are still a's), then the initial b's. So L^R is all strings that start with b, followed by some a's, followed by some b's. For example, 'b' (from 'b'), 'ba' (from 'ab'), 'bb' (from 'bb'), 'bab' (from 'bab'), 'b abb' (from 'bba' → reversed is 'ab b').

So L is (b* a* b), and L^R is (b a* b*).

For example, the string 'ba' is in L^R (since 'ab' is in L), but 'ba' is not in L. Because L requires that after the a's (if any) there's a single b, and the string ends with b. 'ba' ends with 'a', which would require that after the a's (but 'ba' has 'b' followed by 'a'), but according to L's structure, after the a's you have a single b. But 'ba' as a member of L would need to be b^k a^m b. So 'ba' = b^k a^m b. For 'ba', which is length 2, we need k + m + 1 = 2 → k + m =1. Let's see:

If k=1, m=0: then the string would be b^1 a^0 b = 'b' + '' + 'b' = 'bb', which is not 'ba'.

If k=0, m=1: then string is b^0 a^1 b = 'a' + 'b' = 'ab', not 'ba'.

Thus, 'ba' is not in L. However, 'ba' is in L^R because 'ab' is in L. Therefore, L and L^R differ, so option 1 should be selected (1).

Moving to option 2: { w ∈ Σ* : w ≠ w^R }.

This language consists of all non-palindromic strings.

What is L^R? Let's see: if L is all strings that are not palindromes, then L^R is also all strings that are not palindromes, because a string is a palindrome iff its reverse is a palindrome. Wait: if w is not a palindrome, then w^R is also not a palindrome (since if w^R were a palindrome, then (w^R)^R = w would be a palindrome). Wait, no. Suppose w is not a palindrome. Then w^R is also not a palindrome. Because if w^R is a palindrome, then (w^R)^R = w is a palindrome. So L = { non-palindromes }, and L^R is also { non-palindromes }, so L = L^R.

Therefore, L^R = L for option 2. Hence, option 2 is not correct.

Let me verify with an example. Take a word in L: 'ab', which is not a palindrome. Reversed, it's 'ba', which is also not a palindrome, so 'ba' is also in L. So 'ab' is in L, 'ba' is in L. Wait, but how does L^R relate here? Wait, L^R is the set of all reversed strings of L. Since L is all non-palindromes, then any string that is a reversed non-palindrome is also a non-palindrome. So L^R is the same as L. Hence, L = L^R. So option 2 is not a correct choice.

Option 3: { u a v v : u, v ∈ Σ* }.

So L consists of all strings that can be written as u followed by a, followed by v twice.

Let's take an example. Let u be empty, v be 'a', so string is 'a' (u) + 'a' (a) + 'a' (v) + 'a' (v) = 'a a a' → 'aaa'. Wait, no: u is any string, a is the fixed character a, and v v is v concatenated with itself.

Another example: u = 'b', a = 'a', v = 'b', then string is 'b' + 'a' + 'b' + 'b' = 'bab b' → 'babb'.

Now, what is L^R? The reverse of L would consist of all strings that are reverses of L. Let's take a string in L, say 'ab', can we find such a string?

Wait, perhaps take a specific example. Let's find if there's a string in L but not in L^R or vice versa.

Let me consider the string 'aab'. Can this be in L?

To form 'aab', we need u a v v = 'aab'.

Let's see: u can be empty, then a followed by v v: 'a' followed by v v. So 'a' + v v = 'aab' → v v = 'ab'. But 'ab' cannot be written as v v for any v (since length 2, v would have to be length 1, but 'a' + 'a' = 'aa', 'b' + 'b' = 'bb', neither is 'ab'). So u cannot be empty. Let's try u = 'a', then the string is 'a' a v v → 'aa' followed by v v. But our target is 'aab', so v v must be 'b', which is length 1. But v v has even length, so impossible. Therefore, 'aab' is not in L.

Wait, perhaps another approach. Let's take a string in L: let v = 'b', so v v = 'bb', u = empty, then string is 'a' + 'bb' = 'abb'.

Is 'abb' in L? Yes: u=ε, a, v='b'.

Now, reversed string is 'bba'. Is 'bba' in L^R? Wait, L^R is the reverse of all L strings. So 'abb' reversed is 'bba', which is in L^R. Now, is 'bba' in L?

L is all strings of the form u a v v.

Can 'bba' be written as u a v v?

Let's see: look for the 'a' in 'bba'. The 'a' is at position 2 (0-based: 'b', 'b', 'a').

So split as u (first two characters) → 'bb', then 'a', then v v. But after 'a' there's nothing. So v v must be ε, which implies v=ε. So yes: u = 'bb', a, v=ε. Then u a v v = 'bb' + 'a' + ε + ε = 'bba'. So 'bba' is in L.

Wait, but then 'bba' is in both L and L^R. But wait, we need a word that's in exactly one of L or L^R.

Hmm. Let's find another example. Let's take v = 'a', so v v = 'aa', u = 'b', then the string is 'b' a 'aa' = 'baaa'.

Reverse of this string is 'aaab'.

Is 'aaab' in L?

To see: can 'aaab' be written as u a v v?

Let's locate the 'a' in 'aaab'. It's the fourth character, which is 'b'? Wait, 'aaab' is 'a', 'a', 'a', 'b'. So the 'a's are first three characters, then 'b'. So to have u a v v, we need some 'a' in the string followed by v v. Wait, the middle 'a' is part of u or part of the fixed 'a'?

Wait, the structure is u (any string) + 'a' (fixed character) + v v.

So 'aaab' can potentially be split as u = 'aaa', then 'a' but wait, the fixed 'a' comes next. Wait, 'aaab' is 'a a a b'.

We need to find a position for the 'a' (the fixed a) such that after it, we have v v.

Let's try the first 'a' as the separator:

u = ε, then 'a' followed by v v. 'aaa b' → after 'a' is 'aa b' → 'aa b', which needs to be v v. But 'aa b' has length 3, which can't be twice the length of v. So no.

Second 'a': u = 'a', then 'a' followed by 'a b'. Length 2 for "a b", which is 2 characters, so v would be length 1. 'a' and 'b' → v = 'a', but 'a' + 'a' = 'aa' ≠ 'a b'. So no.

Third 'a': u = 'aa', then 'a' followed by 'b'. But 'b' has length 1, which can't be v v (needs even length). So no.

The 'b' cannot be the fixed 'a'. So 'aaab' cannot be in L. Therefore, 'aaab' is in L^R (since 'baaa' is in L, reverse is 'aaab'), but 'aaab' is not in L. So L ≠ L^R for option 3.

Let's confirm. 'baaa' is in L: u = 'b', a = 'a', v = 'a' (since v v = 'aa'), so the string is 'b' + 'a' + 'aa' = 'baaa'.

The reverse of 'baaa' is 'aaab'.

Now, check if 'aaab' is in L: does there exist u, v such that u a v v = 'aaab'?

Looking at the string 'aaab', which is a a a b.

We need to find a position where 'a' (the fixed character) occurs. Let's try all possible positions.

The 'a's are at positions 0,1,2; the 'b' is at position 3.

Case 1: The fixed 'a' is at position 0: then u is empty, so 'a' (position 0) followed by v v = 'aab' (positions 1-3). But 'aab' has length 3, which is not even, so v v can't equal 'aab'.

Case 2: Fixed 'a' at position 1: u = 'a', then 'a' at position 1, remaining string 'ab' (positions 2-3). 'ab' length 2, so v v = 'ab' → v would need to be 'a' and 'b', but 'a' + 'a' = 'aa' ≠ 'ab'.

Case 3: Fixed 'a' at position 2: u = 'aa', then 'a' at position 2, remaining string 'b' (position 3). 'b' length 1, which is not even, so impossible.

Case 4: Fixed 'a' at position 3: but position 3 is 'b', so no.

Thus, 'aaab' is not in L. So 'aaab' is in L^R (because 'baaa' is in L) but not in L, hence L ≠ L^R. Therefore, option 3 is a correct choice.

So for option 3, L ≠ L^R. So options 1 and 3 are correct.

Wait, need to check options:

The options are:

1: L(b* a* b)

2: {w: w ≠ w^R}

3: {u a v v}

We determined options 1 and 3 are correct.

Wait, but let's recheck option 2 again.

Option 2: L = {w | w ≠ w^R}.

L^R is the set of all reversed strings in L. If w ∈ L, then w ≠ w^R, so the reversed string is w^R. Now, since w ≠ w^R, then w^R is also in L, because if w^R were equal to (w^R)^R = w, but w ≠ w^R, so (w^R) ≠ (w^R)^R, hence w^R ∈ L. Therefore, L is closed under reversal, meaning L^R = L.

For example, take w = 'ab' (not a palindrome), then w^R = 'ba' which is also not a palindrome, so 'ba' ∈ L. So L is exactly the same as L^R. So option 2 is not correct.

So the correct options are 1 and 3.

But let's check the answer template. The problem says: "Geben Sie außerdem für jede Sprache L, die Sie gewählt haben, ein Wort w an, das in genau einer der Sprachen L,L^R enthalten ist."

For each selected option, give a word in exactly one of L or L^R.

For option 1: L is strings of form b^k a^m b.

As shown earlier, 'ab' is in L (k=0, m=1: b^0 a^1 b → 'a' followed by 'b' = 'ab'), and 'ba' (reverse of 'ab') is in L^R but not in L.

Wait, 'ab' reversed is 'ba', which is not in L because L's strings end with 'b', but 'ba' ends with 'a'. So 'ba' is in L^R but not in L.

So for option 1, the word is 'ba' (which is in L^R but not L) or 'ab' (which is in L but not L^R). But we need a word that is in exactly one. So 'ab' is in L but not L^R? Wait, no. Wait, L^R contains all reverses of L. Since 'ab' is in L, 'ba' is in L^R. But 'ab' itself is in L. Is 'ab' in L^R? To check: 'ab' is in L^R iff 'ba' is in L. But 'ba' ends with 'a', so not in L. Therefore, 'ab' is not in L^R. So 'ab' is in L but not in L^R.

Wait, so the word 'ab' is in L but not in L^R, and 'ba' is in L^R but not in L.

So for option 1, possible words are 'ab' or 'ba'.

Similarly, for option 3, we had 'aaab' in L^R not in L, and 'baaa' in L not in L^R.

Now, the answer template for this subproblem is:

<answer-template id="4">
1: $?$
2: $?$
3: $?$
</answer-template>

So for each option (1, 2, 3), the answer for each is a word that's in exactly one of L or L^R. But the template says "für jede Sprache L, die Sie gewählt haben". Since options 1 and 3 are selected, their entries in the answer template should have words, while option 2 should be '-' as per hint.

But according to the problem statement: "Für welche der folgenden Sprachen L gilt L≠LR ? Geben Sie außerdem für jede Sprache L, die Sie gewählt haben, ein Wort w an, das in genau einer der Sprachen L,L^R enthalten ist. Hinweis: Um das Feld leerzulassen, geben Sie - an."

So the <answer> for options 1,2,3 should have either a word or '-'.

But in the answer template, the three lines are:

1: $?$
2: $?$
3: $?$
So the user has to put the word for each option, if selected (i.e., if option is 1), else -.

Wait, the <answer-template> specifies:

<answer-template id="4">
1: $?$
2: $?$
3: $?$
</answer-template>

And the example probably would have entries for each.

In our case, options 1 and 3 are selected (so option id="1" and "3" are answered with 1), option 2 is not. Therefore, for options 1 and 3 in the answer-template, we need to provide a word, for option 2, '-'.

But let's check the option ids.

In the current subproblem, the options are:

<option id="1">...</option>
<option id="2">...</option>
<option id="3">...</option>

So for option id="1", if we selected it (marked as 1), then in the answer template, item 1 gets a word.

So:

In the answer, for id="4":

1: ab (or ba)
2: -
3: aaab (or baaa)

But let's verify specific words.

For option 1:

Take 'ab' is in L (since it's b* (0) a* (1) followed by b → 'a' + 'b' = 'ab'? Wait, no: b* followed by a* followed by b. Wait, the expression is b* a* b. So for 'ab', it's 0 b's (b*), then 1 a (a*), then 1 b. So 'a' + 'b' → 'ab', yes. So 'ab' ∈ L.

L^R contains the reverse of all L strings. The reverse of 'ab' is 'ba', so 'ba' ∈ L^R.

Is 'ab' in L^R? To be in L^R, 'ab' must be the reverse of some string in L. So there exists x ∈ L such that x^R = 'ab'. Then x = 'ba'. Is 'ba' ∈ L?

L is strings of form b^k a^m b. 'ba' is 'b' followed by 'a' → but according to the structure, the string must end with 'b', but 'ba' ends with 'a', so 'ba' ∉ L. Therefore, 'ba' is not in L, so 'ab' (which is 'ba'^R) is not in L^R. So 'ab' ∈ L and 'ab' ∉ L^R. So 'ab' is a valid witness.

Thus, the word for option 1 can be 'ab'.

For option 3:

Take 'baaa' as in L (u='b', a, v='a' → 'b a a a').

Reverse is 'aaab', which is not in L.

So 'aaab' is the word for option 3.

Alternatively, the word could be 'baaa', which is in L but not in L^R.

But the question says "ein Wort w an, das in genau einer der Sprachen L,L^R enthalten ist".

So either w ∈ L \ L^R or w ∈ L^R \ L.

For option 1:

w = 'ab' is in L not L^R.

w = 'ba' is in L^R not L.

Either is acceptable.

Similarly for option 3.

But we need to choose one per option.

Let's pick 'ba' for option 1 because it's shorter.

'ba' is in L^R but not L.

Check:

Is 'ba' in L^R? Yes, because 'ab' is in L, so 'ab'^R = 'ba' is in L^R.

Is 'ba' in L? As discussed, L requires the string to end with 'b', so no.

For option 3: Take 'aaab' as in L^R not L.

Now, filling in the answer template.

So the answer would be:

1: ba

2: -

3: aaab

Or maybe 'ab' and 'aaab' respectively.

Wait, let's confirm.

For option 1:

If we choose 'ab' as the word in L not L^R:

ab ∈ L (yes).

Is ab in L^R? That would require that (ab)^R = ba is in L. ba ends with 'a', so no. So ab ∉ L^R. So ab is in L \ L^R.

Thus, ab is a valid witness.

Similarly, ba is in L^R \ L.

Either is fine.

Assuming the problem says "ein Wort w", any is acceptable.

Let's pick 'ab' for option 1.

For option 3: 'baaa' is in L. 'baaa'^R = 'aaab' not in L. So 'aaab' is in L^R \ L. Or 'baaa' is in L \ L^R.

Assuming 'baaa' is in L but not in L^R.

Wait, L^R is all reversed strings of L. So 'baaa' ∈ L implies 'aaab' ∈ L^R.

Is 'baaa' ∈ L^R? That would require that 'aaab' ∈ L. But 'aaab' ∉ L as checked before. So 'baaa' ∉ L^R.

Thus, 'baaa' is in L \ L^R.

So 'baaa' is a valid witness.

Either 'baaa' or 'aaab' is okay. Probably shorter to write 'aaab'.

But let's go with 'aaab' as it's in L^R \ L.

So, to sum up.

Option 1: L ≠ L^R, example word 'ab' (or 'ba').

Option 2: L = L^R, no word needed.

Option 3: L ≠ L^R, example word 'aaab' (or 'baaa').

Now, verifying the answer format:

The user must output:

<option id="1">0 or 1</option>
<option id="2">0 or 1</option>
<option id="3">0 or 1</option>
<answer id="4">
1: word
2: -
3: word
</answer>

We determined options 1 and 3 are correct (1), option 2 is not (0).

So:

<option id="1">1</option>

<option id="2">0</option>

<option id="3">1</option>

<answer id="4">

1: ab

2: -

3: aaab

</answer>

Wait, but the problem says "Geben Sie außerdem für jede Sprache L, die Sie gewählt haben, ein Wort w an, das in genau einer der Sprachen L,L^R enthalten ist."

So for options selected (1 and 3), provide the word.

Hence, the answer should be:

1: ab

2: -

3: aaab

Alternatively, 'ba' and 'aaab'.

But let's confirm with option 1.

Take word 'ab' which is in L not L^R.

Yes.

And for option 3, 'aaab' in L^R not L.

Yes.

Thus, this should be correct.

Thoughts

Okay, let's tackle subproblem c. The question is about which of the given languages over Σ = {0,1} are undecidable. The options are:

1. {w ∈ Σ*: |L(M_w)|² = 25}
2. {w ∈ Σ*: |L(M_w)|² = 50}
3. {w ∈ Σ*: |L(M_w)|² = 100}

First, I need to remember that M_w refers to the Turing machine encoded by w. So each string w represents a Turing machine, and |L(M_w)| is the number of strings accepted by that machine.

The problem is about whether these languages are undecidable. Undecidable means there's no Turing machine that can decide for any given w whether it belongs to the language.

Let's think about what each condition means. For each language, we're checking if the square of the size of the language accepted by M_w equals a specific number: 25, 50, or 100.

First, note that |L(M_w)| is the cardinality of the language accepted by M_w. Since we're dealing with numbers squared, the possible values for |L(M_w)| would be the square roots of the given numbers, but only integers because the cardinality is a non-negative integer (assuming the languages we're considering here can have finite or infinite cardinality, but wait, |L(M_w)| could be infinite, but if it's infinite, then |L(M_w)|² wouldn't be a finite number like 25, 50, or 100. So actually, for these sets, we're only considering w where L(M_w) is finite with size 5, √50, or 10. But √50 is not an integer, which is a problem. Wait, |L(M_w)| is a non-negative integer (finite or infinite). However, if |L(M_w)| is infinite, then |L(M_w)|² is not a finite number, so the condition can't hold. Therefore, each of these languages consists of all encodings w where L(M_w) is finite with size exactly 5 (for option 1, since 5²=25), √50 (but √50 is irrational, so no such finite language exists), and 10 (since 10²=100).

Wait, this is key. For option 2: |L(M_w)|² = 50. Since |L(M_w)| is a non-negative integer (if finite), its square must be a perfect square. But 50 is not a perfect square (7²=49, 8²=64), so there's no integer n where n²=50. Therefore, the language for option 2 would be empty, because there's no Turing machine that accepts exactly √50 strings (which isn't an integer). However, if L(M_w) is infinite, then |L(M_w)|² is not a finite number, so it can't equal 50. Therefore, option 2's language is empty. Is the empty language decidable? Yes, because you can have a Turing machine that always rejects. So option 2 is decidable, hence not undecidable.

For option 1: |L(M_w)|² =25 ⇒ |L(M_w)|=5 (since 5²=25). So the language consists of all w where M_w accepts exactly 5 strings. Similarly, option 3: |L(M_w)|=10.

Now, the question is whether the languages {w | |L(M_w)|=k} are decidable for a fixed k. Wait, Rice's theorem might apply here. Rice's theorem states that any non-trivial property of the language recognized by a Turing machine is undecidable. A non-trivial property is one that is neither always true nor always false for all recursively enumerable languages.

In this case, for option 1, the property is "the Turing machine accepts exactly 5 strings". Is this a non-trivial property? Yes, because there exist Turing machines that accept exactly 5 strings (so the property holds for some) and others that don't (so it's not true for all). Therefore, by Rice's theorem, this language is undecidable.

But wait, Rice's theorem applies to properties of the language, i.e., properties that depend only on L(M), not on the specific machine. However, the problem here is that the property is "L(M) has exactly 5 elements". This is indeed a non-trivial semantic property, so Rice's theorem tells us it's undecidable.

Wait, but there's a catch. If the property is about the language being finite and of a specific size, Rice's theorem still applies because it's a non-trivial property of the language. So {w | |L(M_w)| =5} is undecidable.

Similarly, option 3: |L(M_w)|=10, same reasoning.

For option 2: as mentioned, since 50 is not a square of an integer, there's no language with exactly √50 elements, so the language is empty. The empty set is decidable (a TM that always rejects), so option 2 is decidable. Therefore, options 1 and 3 are undecidable, option 2 is decidable.

Wait, but let me double-check. The problem is whether the set of encodings w where |L(M_w)|²=25. So |L(M_w)| must be 5 (since 5²=25; also, could be -5, but cardinality is non-negative, so 5 is the only solution). So yes, exactly 5.

Similarly, for 100, it's 10.

But wait, what if L(M_w) is infinite? Then |L(M_w)| is infinity, and infinity squared is not 25, 50, or 100, so those w where L(M_w) is infinite are excluded from these sets.

Therefore, the sets for options 1 and 3 are the sets of TMs that recognize a finite language of size exactly 5 or 10, respectively. The set for option 2 is empty, as no finite language can have size with |L|^2=50.

Now, the question is: are the languages {w | |L(M_w)|=k} undecidable for a fixed k?

Yes. For example, the problem of determining whether a TM accepts exactly k strings is undecidable for any fixed k ≥ 0. This is a classic application of Rice's theorem.

Rice's theorem criteria:

1. The property is about the language (semantic), not syntactic.
2. The property is non-trivial (there exist TMs where it's true and others where it's false).

For k=5: There exist TMs that accept exactly 5 strings (e.g., a TM that accepts only the first 5 strings in Σ* in some order and rejects others), so the property is non-trivial. Therefore, by Rice's theorem, undecidable.

Same for k=10.

For k where k²=50, which is not an integer, so the set is empty, which is decidable.

So options 1 and 3 are undecidable, option 2 is decidable.

Wait, but wait, what about k=0? The property |L|=0 would be "the language is empty", which is undecidable by Rice's theorem. Similarly, exactly 1 string, etc.

Thus, the answer should be options 1 and 3 are undecidable, option 2 is decidable.

Wait, but let's confirm option 2. If |L(M_w)|²=50, since |L(M_w)| must be a non-negative integer (finite), but 50 is not a square, so there's no such TM with |L(M_w)|²=50, so the language is empty. The empty language is decidable (trivially, since the decider just says 'no' for all inputs). Hence, option 2 is decidable, so not undecidable.

Therefore, the correct options are 1 and 3. Wait, but the problem says "Kreuzen Sie alle zutreffenden an", and the answer format has options 1, 2, 3. So the user must select options 1 and 3, and then choose one to prove.

Wait, but let me check if maybe for some k even if it's a perfect square, the set might be decidable? No, Rice's theorem tells us that for any non-trivial property, it's undecidable. The property here is "the language has size exactly k" for some fixed k (which is a positive integer). This is a non-trivial property, so undecidable.

Thus, options 1 and 3 are undecidable, option 2 is decidable.

Wait, but wait another angle. What if k=0? Then it's the emptiness problem, which is undecidable (co-RE complete). For k=1, 2, etc., same thing.

Yes, so the conclusion is that options 1 and 3 are undecidable. However, let me check the problem statement again.

Wait, the problem states "Welche der folgenden Sprachen ... sind unentscheidbar?". So we need to check for each option whether the language is undecidable.

Option 1: {w | |L(M_w)|²=25} ⇨ {w | |L(M_w)|=5} (since 5²=25 and |L| is non-negative integer). This is undecidable.

Option 2: {w | |L(M_w)|²=50}. Since 50 is not a square, no such w exists. So the language is empty. The empty language is decidable (as there's a TM that rejects all inputs), so option 2 is decidable, not undecidable.

Option 3: {w | |L(M_w)|²=100} ⇨ {w | |L(M_w)|=10}, which is undecidable for the same reason as option 1.

Therefore, options 1 and 3 are undecidable, so the answer should have 1 and 3 as 1, and option 2 as 0.

Wait, but let's check if the square could be zero. For example, |L(M_w)|²=0 would imply |L(M_w)|=0, which is the emptiness problem, which is undecidable (co-RE complete). But in our case, 25, 50, 100 are positive.

Another check: Suppose someone argues that if |L(M_w)| is infinite, then |L(M_w)|² is undefined or infinite, so it's not 25, so the language {w | |L(M_w)|²=25} is equivalent to {w | |L(M_w)|=5} (assuming L(M_w) is finite with size 5). But yes, because if L(M_w) is infinite, then |L(M_w)| is infinite, so squared is not 25. So the set is exactly those TMs where the language is finite of size 5.

But is checking whether a TM accepts exactly 5 strings undecidable? Yes, by Rice's theorem.

Therefore, options 1 and 3 are undecidable. Option 2 is empty, hence decidable.

Wait, but maybe for option 2, could there be a non-integer |L(M_w)|? No, because |L| is either finite natural number or infinite. So squared would be either a square of natural number (if finite) or infinite. So for option 2, there is no w where |L(M_w)|²=50, since 50 is not a square. So the language is empty. Which is decidable.

Thus, the answer should be option 1: yes, option 2: no, option 3: yes.

Now, the user has to select one to prove. Let's pick option 1.

To prove that L = {w | |L(M_w)|²=25} is undecidable.

By Rice's theorem: The property P is defined as P(L) = true iff |L|=5 (since 5²=25). P is non-trivial because there exist RE languages with exactly 5 strings (e.g., {ε, a, aa, aaa, aaaa}) and others that don't have exactly 5 (e.g., empty language or all strings). Therefore, by Rice's theorem, the set of TMs recognizing languages with property P is undecidable.

Alternatively, could reduce the halting problem to it.

But Rice's theorem is straightforward here.

So the proof would state that since the property of a language having exactly 5 strings is non-trivial (there exist languages that satisfy it and others that don't), by Rice's theorem, the corresponding language is undecidable.

Beweis für Sprache 1:
Angenommen, die Menge $\{w \in \Sigma^* : |L(M_w)|^{2} = 25\}$ wäre entscheidbar. Das bedeutet, es gibt eine Turingmaschine $D$, die für eine gegebene Kodierung $\langle M \rangle = w$ entscheidet, ob $|L(M)| = 5$ (da $5^2 = 25$ und unendliche Kardinalitäten nicht zu 25 quadriert werden).

Wir reduzieren das Leerheitsproblem, das unentscheidbar ist, darauf.

Gegeben eine TM $M$ (Kodierung $\langle M \rangle$), konstruieren wir $M'$ wie folgt:

Auf Eingabe $y$:
- Wenn $y = 1^k$ für $k=1,2,3,4,5$, akzeptiere.
- Sonst, wenn $y$ mit $0$ beginnt, sei $z$ das Wort ohne das erste $0$; simuliere $M$ auf $z$ und akzeptiere genau dann, wenn $M$ $z$ akzeptiert.
- Andernfalls lehne ab.

Dann ist $L(M') = \{1, 11, 111, 1111, 11111\} \cup \{0z \mid z \in L(M)\}$.

Diese Vereinigung ist disjunkt, da die ersten Wörter mit $1$ beginnen und die zweiten mit $0$.

Folglich $|L(M')| = 5 + |L(M)|$, falls $|L(M)|$ endlich ist, und unendlich sonst.

Insbesondere gilt $|L(M')| = 5$ genau dann, wenn $|L(M)| = 0$, d.h. $L(M) = \emptyset$.

Könnte $D$ auf $\langle M' \rangle$ angewendet werden, so könnte man das Leerheitsproblem für $M$ entscheiden, was unmöglich ist.

Daher ist die Sprache unentscheidbar.

Welche der folgenden Sprachen über  $\Sigma:=\{0,1\}$  sind unentscheidbar? Kreuzen Sie alle zutreffenden an. Wählen Sie anschließend eine solche Sprache und beweisen Sie, dass sie unentscheidbar ist.

☒

\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=25\}

☐

\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=50\}

☒

\{w\in\Sigma^*:|L(M_w)|^2=100\}

Beweis für Sprache 1:
Angenommen, die Menge  $\{w \in \Sigma^* : |L(M_w)|^{2} = 25\}$  wäre entscheidbar. Das bedeutet, es gibt eine Turingmaschine  $D$ , die für eine gegebene Kodierung  $\langle M \rangle = w$  entscheidet, ob  $|L(M)| = 5$  (da  $5^2 = 25$  und unendliche Kardinalitäten nicht zu 25 quadriert werden).

Wir reduzieren das Leerheitsproblem, das unentscheidbar ist, darauf.

Gegeben eine TM  $M$  (Kodierung  $\langle M \rangle$ ), konstruieren wir  $M'$  wie folgt:

Auf Eingabe  $y$ :
- Wenn  $y = 1^k$  für  $k=1,2,3,4,5$ , akzeptiere.
- Sonst, wenn  $y$  mit  $0$  beginnt, sei  $z$  das Wort ohne das erste  $0$ ; simuliere  $M$  auf  $z$  und akzeptiere genau dann, wenn  $M$   $z$  akzeptiert.
- Andernfalls lehne ab.

Dann ist  $L(M') = \{1, 11, 111, 1111, 11111\} \cup \{0z \mid z \in L(M)\}$ .

Diese Vereinigung ist disjunkt, da die ersten Wörter mit  $1$  beginnen und die zweiten mit  $0$ .

Folglich  $|L(M')| = 5 + |L(M)|$ , falls  $|L(M)|$  endlich ist, und unendlich sonst.

Insbesondere gilt  $|L(M')| = 5$  genau dann, wenn  $|L(M)| = 0$ , d.h.  $L(M) = \emptyset$ .

Könnte  $D$  auf  $\langle M' \rangle$  angewendet werden, so könnte man das Leerheitsproblem für  $M$  entscheiden, was unmöglich ist.

Daher ist die Sprache unentscheidbar.
