Recognizability of morphisms

MP Béal, D Perrin, A Restivo - Ergodic Theory and Dynamical …, 2023 - cambridge.org
We investigate several questions related to the notion of recognizable morphism. The main
result is a new proof of Mossé's theorem and actually of a generalization to a more general …

Coboundaries and eigenvalues of finitary S-adic systems

V Berthé, PC Bernales, R Yassawi - arxiv preprint arxiv:2202.07270, 2022 - arxiv.org
An S-adic system is a symbolic dynamical system generated by iterating an infinite
sequence of substitutions or morphisms, called a directive sequence. A finitary S-adic …

The commutation of finite sets: a challenging problem

C Choffrut, J Karhumäki, N Ollinger - Theoretical computer science, 2002 - Elsevier
We prove that given a set X of two nonempty words, a set Y of nonempty words commutes
with X if and only if either Y is a union of powers of X or X, Y⊆ t+ for some primitive word t …

Recognizability in S-adic shifts

MP Béal, D Perrin, A Restivo, W Steiner - arxiv preprint arxiv:2302.06258, 2023 - arxiv.org
We investigate questions related to the notion of recognizability of sequences of morphisms,
a generalization of Moss {\'e}'s Theorem. We consider the most general class of morphisms …

Mortality and synchronization of unambiguous finite automata

A Ryzhikov - … on Words: 12th International Conference, WORDS …, 2019 - Springer
We study mortal words and words of minimum non-zero rank (in particular, synchronizing
words) in strongly connected unambiguous automata. We show that every n-state strongly …

Defect effect of bi-infinite words in the two-element case

J Maňuch - Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer …, 2001 - dmtcs.episciences.org
Let X be a two-element set of words over a finite alphabet. If a bi-infinite word possesses two
X-factorizations which are not shiftequivalent, then the primitive roots of the words in X are …

Lower bounds for generalized quantum finite automata

M Mercer - Language and Automata Theory and Applications …, 2008 - Springer
We obtain several lower bounds on the language recognition power of Nayak's generalized
quantum finite automata (GQFA)[12]. Techniques for proving lower bounds on Kondacs and …

Defect theorem in the plane

W Moczurad - RAIRO-Theoretical Informatics and Applications, 2007 - cambridge.org
We consider the defect theorem in the context of labelled polyominoes, ie, two-dimensional
figures. The classical version of this property states that if a set of n words is not a code then …

Multiple factorizations of words and defect effect

J Karhumäki, J Maňuch - Theoretical computer science, 2002 - Elsevier
We prove that if X is a finite prefix set and w is a non-periodic bi-infinite word, possessing 3
disjoint X-factorizations, then the combinatorial rank of X is at most card (X)− 2. This is one of …

Properties of two-dimensional words

T Smith - 2017 - uwspace.uwaterloo.ca
Combinatorics on words in one dimension is a well-studied subfield of theoretical computer
science with its origins in the early 20th century. However, the closely-related study of two …
