Finiteness and Regularity in Semigroups and Formal Languages
Author: Aldo de Luca
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642598498
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
This is a rigorous and self-contained monograph on a central topic in theoretical computer science. For the first time in book form, original results from the last ten years are presented, some previously unpublished, using combinatorial and algebraic methods. These are mainly based on combinatorics on words and especially on the theory of "unavoidable regularities." Researchers will find important new results on semigroups and formal languages, as well as various applications for these methods.

Semigroups, Formal Languages and Groups
Author: J.B. Fountain
Publisher: Springer
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Semigroups, Formal Languages and Groups contains articles that provide introductory accounts of recent research in rational languages and their connections with finite semigroups, including the celebrated BG=PG theorem, infinite languages, free profinite monoids and their applications to pseudovarieties, parallel complexity classes related to automata, semigroups and logic, algebraic monoids, geometric methods in semigroup presentations, automatic groups and groups acting on Lambda-trees. There is also an extensive survey of algorithmic problems in groups, semigroups and inverse monoids. In addition, the book includes hitherto unpublished research on monoids of Lie type and their representations, free actions of groups on Lambda-trees and an extension to arbitrary semigroups of the famous Krohn-Rhodes theorem.

Pages : 536
Book Description
The thematic term on OC Semigroups, Algorithms, Automata and LanguagesOCO organized at the International Centre of Mathematics (Coimbra, Portugal) in MayOCoJuly 2001 was the gathering point for researchers working in the field of semigroups, algorithms, automata and languages. These areas were selected considering their huge recent developments, their potential applications, and the motivation from other fields of mathematics and computer science. This proceedings volume is a unique collection of advanced courses and original contributions on semigroups and their connections with logic, automata, languages, group theory, discrete dynamics, topology and complexity. A selection of open problems discussed during the thematic term is also included. Contents: Finite Semigroups: An Introduction to a Unified Theory of Pseudovarieties (J Almeida); On Existence Varieties of Regular Semigroups (K Auinger); Varieties of Languages (M J J Branco); A Short Introduction to Automatic Group Theory (C Choffrut); Some Results on Semigroup-Graded Rings (W D Munn); Profinite Groups and Applications to Finite Semigroups (L Ribes); Dynamics of Finite Semigroups (J Almeida); Finite Semigroups Imposing Tractable Constraints (A Bulatov et al.); On the Efficiency and Deficiency of Rees Matrix Semigroups (C M Campbell et al.); Some Pseudovariety Joins Involving Groups and Locally Trivial Semigroups (J C Costa); Partial Action of Groups on Relational Structures: A Connection Between Model Theory and Profinite Topology (T Coulbois); Some Relatives of Automatic and Hyperbolic Groups (M Hoffmann et al.); A Sampler of a Topological Approach to Inverse Semigroups (B Steinberg); Finite Semigroups and the Logical Description of Regular Languages (H Straubing); Diamonds are Forever: The Variety DA (P Tesson & D Th(r)rien); Decidability Problems in Finite Semigroups (P G Trotter); and other papers.

Profinite Semigroups and Symbolic Dynamics
Author: Jorge Almeida
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030552152
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
This book describes the relation between profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics. Profinite semigroups are topological semigroups which are compact and residually finite. In particular, free profinite semigroups can be seen as the completion of free semigroups with respect to the profinite metric. In this metric, two words are close if one needs a morphism on a large finite monoid to distinguish them. The main focus is on a natural correspondence between minimal shift spaces (closed shift-invariant sets of two-sided infinite words) and maximal J-classes (certain subsets of free profinite semigroups). This correspondence sheds light on many aspects of both profinite semigroups and symbolic dynamics. For example, the return words to a given word in a shift space can be related to the generators of the group of the corresponding J-class. The book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mathematics or theoretical computer science.
