Book Description
This festschrift volume in honour of Donald B McAlister on the occasion of his 65th birthday presents papers from leading researchers in semigroups and formal languages. The contributors cover a number of areas of current interest: from pseudovarieties and regular languages to ordered groupoids and one-relator groups, and from semigroup algebras to presentations of monoids and transformation semigroups. The papers are accessible to graduate students as well as researchers seeking new directions for future work.

Semigroups: Algebraic Theory And Applications To Formal Languages And Codes
Author: Celestina BonziniPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9814552569
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The proceedings present some new topics and techniques of semigroup theory. Papers by leading experts in this theory are collected. Since results on semigroups have naturally been employed in formal languages and codes, the focus is also on these directions.
Semigroups, Formal Languages and Groups
Author: J.B. FountainPublisher: 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 In addition, the book includes hitherto unpublished research on monoids of Lie type and their representations, free actions of groups on Lambda-trees and an extension to arbitrary semigroups of the famous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.
Finiteness and Regularity in Semigroups and Formal Languages
Author: Aldo de LucaPublisher: 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 For the first time in book form, original results from the last ten years are presented, some previously unpublished, using combinatorial and algebraic methods.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, Algorithms, Automata and Languages

Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
The thematic term on “Semigroups, Algorithms, Automata and Languages” organized at the International Centre of Mathematics (Coimbra, Portugal) in May–July 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.

Pages : 428
Book Description
This volume presents the core of invited expository lectures given at the 1993 NATO ASI held at the University of York. The subject matter of the ASI was the interplay between automata, semigroups, formal languages and groups. The invited talks were of an introductory nature but at a high level and many reached the cutting edge of research in the area. The lectures were given to a mixed group of students and specialists and were designed to be accessible to a broad audience. The papers were written in a similar spirit in the hope that their readership will be as wide as possible. With one exception they are all based on the talks which the lecturers gave at the meeting. The exception is caused by the fact that due to unanticipated progress the topic of John Rhodes' talk is now in such a state of flux that it has not been possible to produce a paper giving a clear picture of the situation. However, we do include an article by a member of the "Rhodes school" , namely Christopher Nehaniv, expanding on a contributed talk he gave. It generalizes the celebrated Krohn-Rhodes theorem for finite semigroups to all semigroups. For many years there has been a strong link between formal language theory and the theory of semigroups. Each subject continues to influence the other.
