Rice Theorem – What is non-trivial property?

Problem Detail: Every nontrivial property of the recursively enumerable languages is undecidable. What exactly is nontrivial property?

Asked By : Alvar

Answered By : Untitled

A property that holds for every machine or holds for none is trivial. Rice’s theorem does not apply to such a property. To see why, note that such a property can be decided by a very simple Turing machine, which accepts/rejects every Turing machine representation.
