The undecidability of the Post Correspondence Problem (PCP) can be established by reducing the problem to the Turing machine acceptance problem. This reduction demonstrates that if we have a solution for the Turing machine acceptance problem, we can use it to solve the PCP, and vice versa. In this explanation, we will explore the steps

The process of constructing a proof in mathematics involves a systematic and rigorous approach to establish the truth or validity of a mathematical statement. Proofs serve as the foundation of mathematical reasoning and are essential in establishing the correctness of mathematical theorems and propositions. In this process, axioms and rules of inference play a crucial
