Question
1. Show that the following language is undecidable:
{M | M is a TM that has polynomial worst-case running time}
Rice's thereom doesn't apply here! Be careful, because the worst-case running time of a TM is a global
property of the TM, that involves its behavior on all inputs.
Also, this problem is not asking about {M | L(M) e P}. That language is undecidable as an immedi-
ate corrolary of Rice's theorem. Remember that a TM M might decide a problem in P but do it with an
exponential-time algorithm. The language in this homework is asking about the running time of M, not
about L(M).
