We introduce the notion of a bounded weight function on a language, and show that the set of bounded weight functions on a regular language is a rational polyhedral cone. We study the cell recognised by a bounded weight function (that is,…
We determine the asymptotic proportion of minimal automata, within n-state accessible deterministic complete automata over a k-letter alphabet, with the uniform distribution over the possible transition structures, and a binomial…
Recently, the problem of obtaining a short regular expression equivalent to a given finite automaton has been intensively investigated. Algorithms for converting finite automata to regular expressions have an exponential blow-up in the…
Affine automata provide a finite-state computational model that preserves the linear-algebraic structure of quantum computation while operating entirely over the reals. Recent work has shown that affine automata can far surpass classical…
In this paper we regard languages and their acceptors - such as deterministic or weighted automata, transducers, or monoids - as functors from input categories that specify the type of the languages and of the machines to categories that…
We prove that, for any choice of parameters, the Kazhdan-Lusztig cells of a Weyl group of type $B$ are unions of combinatorial cells (defined using the domino insertion algorithm).
If X is a discrete abelian group and B a finite set, then a cellular automaton (CA) is a continuous map F:B^X-->B^X that commutes with all X-shifts. If g is a real-valued function on B, then, for any b in B^X, we define G(b) to be the sum…
In 1980, Lusztig introduced the periodic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, which are conjectured to have important information about the characters of irreducible modules of a reductive group over a field of positive characteristic, and also…
We present a report from a series of experiments involving computation of the shortest reset words for automata with small number of states. We confirm that the \v{C}ern\'{y} conjecture is true for all automata with at most 11 states on 2…
We Propose A Novel Automaton Model which uses Arithmetic Operations as the Evolving Rules, each cell has the states of the Natural Numbers k = (N), a radius of r = 1/2 and operates on an arbitrary input size. The Automaton reads an…
Stanley's formula for the number of reduced expressions of a permutation regarded as a Coxeter group element raises the question of how to enumerate the reduced expressions of an arbitrary Coxeter group element. We provide a framework for…
Let C be the centralizer in a finite Weyl group of an elementary abelian 2-subgroup. We show that every complex representation of C can be realized over the field of rational numbers. The same holds for a Sylow 2-subgroup of C.
This paper grew out of three tutorial lectures on automatic structures given by the first author at the Logic Colloquium 2007. We discuss variants of automatic structures related to several models of computation: word automata, tree…
By a result of Gersten and Short finite presentations satisfying the usual non-metric small cancellation conditions present biautomatic groups. We show that in the case in which all pieces have length one, a generalization of the C(3)-T(6)…
We show that for any monoid M, the family of languages accepted by M-automata (or equivalently, generated by regular valence grammars over M) is completely determined by that part of M which lies outside the maximal ideal. Hence, every such…
Let $\bH$ be the generic Iwahori--Hecke algebra associated with a finite Coxeter group $W$. Recently, we have shown that $\bH$ admits a natural cellular basis in the sense of Graham--Lehrer, provided that $W$ is a Weyl group and all…
We present a new classification of elementary cellular automata. It is based on the structure of the network of states, connected with the transitions between them; the latter are determined by the automaton rule. Recently an algorithm has…
A differential system $[A] : \; Y'=AY$, with $A\in \mathrm{Mat}(n, \bar{k})$ is said to be in reduced form if $A\in \mathfrak{g}(\bar{k})$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Lie algebra of the differential Galois group $G$ of $[A]$. In this…
A (left) quotient of a language $L$ by a word $w$ is the language $w^{-1}L=\{x\mid wx\in L\}$. The quotient complexity of a regular language $L$ is the number of quotients of $L$; it is equal to the state complexity of $L$, which is the…
We investigate the descriptional complexity of different variants of 1-limited automata (1-las), an extension of two-way finite automata (2nfas) characterizing regular languages. In particular, we consider 2nfas with common-guess…
