Decide whether a context-free languages can be accepted by a deterministic pushdown automaton
There is no algorithm that given a context-free grammar, decide if a DPDA recognizes the same language and computes it if it exists.
Because if such an algorithm existed, we would be able to decide t …

Optimal myopic maze solver
Question 1
I think your definition of better is too strict in the sense that finite is too restrictive (but I don't have any better definition).
We build a family of mazes $R=(R_i)_i$. Each one $R_i$ …

DFA with limited states
The pumping lemma can be refined for automata with fixed number of states which is exaclty wikipedia's $p$ in "there exists $p$ such that ...". … Use the automata for $M_n$ to build your DFA for $L_z$.
EDIT: I removed the last part: you can use the pumping lemma to prove the minimum size for $M_n$ but not (at least not directly) for $L_z$. …

What is the significance of context-sensitive (Type 1) languages?
The Chomsky hierarchy classifies grammars more than languages. However it was not designed to have something to do with the number of tapes a automaton should have to recognize it, as you suggested fo …

Are Turing machines more powerful than pushdown automata?
This simple task cannot be done with a pushdown transducer (roughly the same thing as the pushdown automata, but that can write things at each step), but can easily be done with a tape:
Read a string …
