Abstract:

ABSTRACT. We formally verify several computational reductions concerning the Post correspondence problem (PCP) using the proof assistant Coq. Our verification includes a reduction of the halting problem for Turing machines to string rewriting, a reduction of string rewriting to PCP, and reductions of PCP to the intersection problem and the palindrome problem for context-free grammars.
