Decidability in Infinite Post Correspondence Problem
Vesa Halava, Decidability in Infinite Post Correspondence Problem. In: Proceedings of WORDS'03, TUCS General Publications, 382-391, 2003.
Abstract:
In the infinite Post Correspondence Problem an instance $(h,g)$
consists of two morphisms $h$ and $g$, both having the domain
alphabet of cardinality 2. The problem is to determine whether or
not there exist an infinite word $\omega$ such that $h(\omega) =
g(\omega)$. This problem is known to be undecidable for the
instances having unrestricted domain alphabets. Here we consider
the decidability proof of the special case where the morphisms are
marked. As a corollary, the decidability of the binary infinite
Post Correspondence Problem can be proved. This work is survey of
the two articles, [3] and [5].
