Theories of orders on the set of words

Dietrich Kuske (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

It is shown that small fragments of the first-order theory of the subword order, the (partial) lexicographic path ordering on words, the homomorphism preorder, and the infix order are undecidable. This is in contrast to the decidability of the monadic second-order theory of the prefix order [M.O. Rabin, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 1969] and of the theory of the total lexicographic path ordering [P. Narendran and M. Rusinowitch, Lect. Notes Artificial Intelligence, 2000] and, in case of the ...

Undecidability of infinite post correspondence problem for instances of size 8

Jing Dong, Qinghui Liu (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

The infinite Post Correspondence Problem (ωPCP) was shown to be undecidable by Ruohonen (1985) in general. Blondel and Canterini [Theory Comput. Syst. 36 (2003) 231–245] showed that ωPCP is undecidable for domain alphabets of size 105, Halava and Harju [RAIRO–Theor. Inf. Appl. 40 (2006) 551–557] showed that ωPCP is undecidable for domain alphabets of size 9. By designing a special coding, we delete a letter from Halava and Harju’s construction. So we prove that ωPCP is undecidable for domain alphabets...

Undecidability of infinite post correspondence problem for instances of Size 9

Vesa Halava, Tero Harju (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

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 Ruohonen (1985) in general. Recently Blondel and Canterini (Theory Comput. Syst.36 (2003) 231–245) 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...
