We shall show that it is decidable for binary instances of the Post Correspondence Problem whether the instance has an inΓΏnite solution. In this context, a binary instance (h; g) consists of two morphisms h and g with a common two element domain alphabet. An inΓΏnite solution ! is an inΓΏnite word ! =

consider the problem of finding a shortest solution for the Post correspondence problem over a unary alphabet. We show that the complexity of this problem heavily depends on the representation of the input: the problem is NP-complete if the input is given in compact (logarithmic) form, whereas it be
Theoretical research in DNA computing includes designing practical experiments for solving various computational problems by means of DNA manipulation. This paper proposes a DNA algorithm for an NP-complete problem, The Bounded Post Correspondence Problem. The proposed experiment can be used to test
