چکیده

In the infinite Post Correspondence Problem an instance (h, g) consists of two morphisms h and g, and the problem is to determine whether or not there exists an infinite word ω such that h(ω) = g(ω). This problem was shown to be undecidable by K. Ruohonen (1985) in general. Recently V. D. Blondel and V. Canterini (Theory Comput. Syst. 36, 231–245, 2003) showed that this problem is undecidable for domain alphabets of size 105. Here we give a proof that the infinite Post Correspondence Problem is undecidable for instances where the morphisms have domains of 9 letters. The proof uses a recent result of Matiyasevich and Sénizergues and a modification of a result of Claus.

Undecidability in ω-Regular Languages

In the infinite Post Correspondence Problem an instance (h, g) consists of two morphisms h and g, and the problem is to determine whether or not there exists an infinite word α such that h(α) = g(α). In the general case this problem was shown to be undecidable by K. Ruohonen (1985). Recently, it was proved that the infinite PCP is undecidable already when the domain alphabet of the morphisms co...

Undecidability Bounds for Integer Matrices Using Claus Instances

There are several known undecidability problems for 3×3 integer matrices the proof of which uses a reduction from the Post Correspondence Problem (PCP). We establish new lower bounds in the numbers of matrices for the mortality, zero in left upper corner, vector reachability, matrix reachability, scaler reachability and freeness problems. Also, we give a short proof for a strengthened result du...

Periodic and Infinite Traces in Matrix Semigroups

In this paper we provide several new results concerning word and matrix semigroup problems using counter automaton models. As a main result, we prove a new version of Post’s correspondence problem to be undecidable and show its application to matrix semigroup problems, such as Any Diagonal Matrix Problem and Recurrent Matrix Problem. We also use infinite periodic traces in counter automaton mod...
