Decidability questions concerning ranges of deterministic top-down tree transducers are considered. It is shown that the following nine problems are undecidable, for rangesL1andL2of arbitrary two deterministic, nondeleting and finite copying top-down tree transducers: IsL1∩L2empty (infinite, recognizable)? Is the complement ofL1empty (infinite, recognizable)? IsL1recognizable? IsL1=L2(L1⊆L2)?A deterministic top-down tree transducer is a special terminating and confluent term rewriting system. Hence, its range is the set of irreducible elements derivable from a recognizable tree language, namely from its domain. The questions corresponding to the above nine ones are considered and shown to be undecidable for terminating and confluent term rewriting systems as well. For example, the result corresponding to the undecidability of “IsL1recognizable?” is as follows. It is undecidable, for an arbitrary terminating and confluent term rewriting systemRand a recognizable tree languageL, whether the set of elements irreducible with respect toRderivable fromLis recognizable or not.
