Post correspondence problem: Variants, Proof sketch of undecidability & Definition of the problem

The Post correspondence problem is an undecidable decision problem that was introduced by Emil Post in 1946. Because it is simpler than the halting problem and the Entscheidungsproblem it is often used in proofs of undecidability.
