Abstract

This paper considers questions relating formal languages to word problems of groups with a particular emphasis on the decidability of some problems that arise. We investigate the decidability of certain natural conditions that characterize word problems for various classes of languages and we then turn our attention to the question of a language actually being a word problem. We show that this is decidable for the classes of regular and deterministic context-free languages but undecidable for the one-counter languages.
