Abstract
We investigate properties of flatwords and k-flatwords. In particular, these words are studied in connection with Post Correspondence Problem (PCP). An open problem occurs: where is the borderline between the decidability and the undecidability of k-flat PCP over an alphabet with n symbols? Our main results concern the related new types of prime solutions of PCP.
