Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Finiteness and Regularity in Semigroups and Formal Languages written by Aldo de Luca and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-09-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 For the first time in book form, original results from the last ten years are presented, some previously unpublished, using combinatorial and algebraic methods.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.

Download or read book A Course in Formal Languages Automata and Groups written by Ian M. Chiswell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on notes for a master’s course given at Queen Mary, University of London, in the 1998/9 session. Such courses in London are quite short, and the course consisted essentially of the material in the ?rst three chapters, together with a two-hour lecture on connections with group theory. Chapter 5 is a considerably expanded version of this. For the course, the main sources were the books by Hopcroft and Ullman ([20]), by Cohen ([4]), and by Epstein et al. ([7]). Some use was also made of a later book by Hopcroft and Ullman ([21]). The ulterior motive in the ?rst three chapters is to give a rigorous proof that various notions of recursively enumerable language are equivalent. Three such notions are considered. These are: generated by a type 0 grammar, recognised by a Turing machine (deterministic or not) and de?ned by means of a Godel ̈ numbering, having de?ned “recursively enumerable” for sets of natural numbers. It is hoped that this has been achieved without too many ar- ments using complicated notation. This is a problem with the entire subject, and it is important to understand the idea of the proof, which is often quite simple. Two particular places that are heavy going are the proof at the end of Chapter 1 that a language recognised by a Turing machine is type 0, and the proof in Chapter 2 that a Turing machine computable function is partial recursive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions from leading experts in the rapidly developing field of semigroup theory. The subject, now some 60 years old, began by imitating group theory and ring theory, but quickly developed an impetus of its own, and the semigroup turned out to be the most useful algebraic object in theoretical computer science.
