Abstract
In this paper we first review the history of Hilbert's Tenth Problem, and then study mixed quantifier prefixes over Diophantine equations with integer variables. For example, we prove that over is undecidable, that is, there is no algorithm to determine for any whether where are integer variables. We also have some similar undecidable results with universal quantifies bounded, for example, over with bounded is undecidable. We conjecture that over is undecidable.
