The chapter also discusses several other ways in which Cobham's theorem can be improved or generalized along with a new proof of Cobham's theorem.

The chapter shows a way to proof that the similar conclusion also applies to axiomatizable theories whose undecidability follows from Cobham's Theorem. Cobham proves the theory of groups (G) of finite groups in hereditarily and undecidable manner (and, hence, not axiomatizable).The chapter also illustrates several related problems to Cobham's theorem.},
