The following theorem is proved: Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi_e(G)$ be the set of element orders in $G$. If $\pi_e(G) \cap \{2\}=\emptyset$; or $\pi_e(G) \cap \{3, 4\}=\emptyset$; or $\pi_e(G) \cap \{3,5\}=\emptyset$, then $G$ is…

It is well known that the reachability problem for simply-typed lambda calculus with recursive definitions and finite base-type values (finitary PCF) is decidable. A recent paper by Dal Lago and Ghyselen has shown that the same problem…

We show that all--instances termination of chase is undecidable. More precisely, there is no algorithm deciding, for a given set $\cal T$ consisting of Tuple Generating Dependencies (a.k.a. Datalog$^\exists$ program), whether the $\cal…
