abstract
The main aim of the paper is to give a short self-contained proof of the decidability of language equivalence for deterministic pushdown automata, which is the famous problem solved by G. Senizergues, for which C. Stirling has derived a primitive recursive complexity upper bound. The proof here is given in the framework of first-order grammars, which seems to be particularly apt for the aim. An appendix presents a modification of Stirling's approach, yielding a complexity bound of the form tetr(2,g(n)) where tetr is the (nonelementary) operator of iterated exponentiation (tetration) and g is an elementary function of the input size.
