By a reduction to Post's Correspondence Problem we provide a direct proof of the known fact that the inclusion problem for unambiguous context-free grammars is undecidable. The argument or some straightforward modiΓΏcation also applies to some other subclasses of context-free languages such as linear
The Green function of an arbitrary, finitely supported random walk on a discrete group with context-free word problem is algebraic. It is shown how this theorem can be deduced from basic results of formal language theory. Context-free groups are precisely the finite extensions of free groups.
