POST'S CORRESPONDENCE PROBLEM


PCP: Given two sequences of strings tex2html_wrap_inline621 {}\ e.g. tex2html_wrap_inline623

This instance has a solution if there is any sequence of integers tex2html_wrap_inline625 , with tex2html_wrap_inline627

displaymath465


e.g. Solution is tex2html_wrap_inline629

eqnarray423


e.g.

tabular424

This instance does not have any solution.

Think about an algorithm which takes an instance of PCP and outputs solution sequence, if there is any; otherwise terminates with a 'No' answer.

Assume tex2html_wrap_inline643

Think also about time complexity.
