Abstract
We show that bisimulation equivalence of order-two pushdown automata is undecidable. Moreover, we study the lower order problem of higher-order pushdown automata, which asks, given an order-k pushdown automaton and some k'<k, to determine if there exists a reachable configuration that is bisimilar to some order-k' pushdown automaton. We show that the lower order problem is undecidable for each k >= 2 even when the input k-PDA is deterministic and real-time.
