===== Introduction ===== ==== About the lecture ==== ===== Post's Correspondence Problem ===== ==== Statement ==== Let $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n$ and $\beta_1, \ldots, \beta_n$ be sequences of words over a fixed alphabet. There exists a finite sequence $math[a_1a_2 \ldots a_k], with $math[a_i = 1, \ldots, n] such that: $\alpha_{a_1}\alpha_{a_2}\ldots \alpha_{a_k} = \beta_{a_1}\beta_{a_2}\ldots \beta_{a_k}$ ==== Example ==== * Motivation: * Simplifications: * Limit the length of * Header problem (highly decidable) How to find "no" instances for PCP: https://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~mmueller/ps/jea.pdf ==== Wang Tiling Problem ==== * Statement: * Motivation: * Simplifications: * Limit the length of ==== Independent Set Problem ==== * Statement: * Motivation: * Simplifications: * Limit the length of ==== Graph isomorphism Problem ==== * Statement: * Motivation: * Simplifications: * Limit the length of
