In this paper, general logic-systems are investigated. It is shown that there are infinitely many finite consequence operators defined on a fixed language L that cannot be generated from a finite logic-system. It is shown that a set map is…
In this paper, first we characterize closedness of range of the finite sum of weighted composition operators between different Lp-spaces. Then we discuss polar decomposition and invertibility of these operators.
We characterize those complete commutative positive linear ordered monoids $W$ such that whenever $f$ is a map from a Cauchy complete $W$-metric space to itself, the existence of a fixed point of $f$ is independent of the background model…
Reversible weighted automata are introduced and considered in a specific setting where the weights are taken from a nontrivial locally finite commutative ring such as a finite field. It is shown that the supports of series realised by such…
We define a closure operation for rings of mixed characteristic and verify that the closure is a ring. We then show that this closure produces a ring with good properties with respect to its Fontaine ring and give an example to show that…
We consider questions related to the structure of infinite words (over an integer alphabet) with bounded additive complexity, i.e., words with the property that the number of distinct sums exhibited by factors of the same length is bounded…
We study the question of whether a given regular language of finite trees can be defined in first-order logic. We develop an algebraic approach to address this question and we use it to derive several necessary and sufficient conditions for…
By strengthening known results about primitivity-blocking words in free groups, we prove that for any nontrivial element w of a free group of finite rank, there are words that cannot be subwords of any cyclically reduced automorphic image…
The state complexity of the result of a regular operation is often positively correlated with the number of distinct transformations induced by letters in the minimal deterministic finite automaton of the input languages. That is, more…
A class of languages C is perfect if it is closed under Boolean operations and the emptiness problem is decidable. Perfect language classes are the basis for the automata-theoretic approach to model checking: a system is correct if the…
The group PGL(2) of linear transformations of the projective line acts naturally on the d-dimensional projective space P^d parametrizing configurations (`d-tuples') of points on the line. In this note we are concerned with the orbits of…
$\omega$-clones are multi-sorted structures that naturally emerge as algebras for infinite trees, just as $\omega$-semigroups are convenient algebras for infinite words. In the algebraic theory of languages, one hopes that a language is…
Weighted automata are nondeterministic automata with numerical weights on transitions. They can define quantitative languages $L$ that assign to each word $w$ a real number $L(w)$. In the case of infinite words, the value of a run is…
For a fixed dimension $N$ we compute the generating function of the numbers $t_N(n)$ (respectively $\bar{t}_N(n)$) of $PGL_{N+1}(k)$-orbits of rational $n$-sets (respectively rational $n$-multisets) of the projective space $\mathb{P}^N$…
Given a regular language $L$, we study the language of words $\mathsf{D}(L)$, that distinguish between pairs of different left-quotients of $L$. We characterize this distinguishability operation, show that its iteration has always a fixed…
We show that Lurie's model for $\infty$-operads (or more precisely a "flagged" or "pinned" version thereof) is equivalent to the analytic monads previously studied by Gepner, Kock, and the author, with an $\infty$-operad $\mathcal{O}$…
We formalized general (i.e., type-0) grammars using the Lean 3 proof assistant. We defined basic notions of rewrite rules and of words derived by a grammar, and used grammars to show closure of the class of type-0 languages under four…
It is shown that the set of all finitary consequence operators defined on any nonempty language is a join-complete lattice. This result is applied to various collections of physical theories to obtain an unrestricted supremum unification.
Let $F_n$ be the free group of a finite rank $n$. We study orbits $Orb_{\phi}(u)$, where $u$ is an element of the group $F_n$, under the action of an automorphism $\phi$. If an orbit like that is finite, we determine precisely what its…
We give another proof of a theorem of Fife - understood broadly as providing a finite automaton that gives a complete description of all infinite binary overlap-free words. Our proof is significantly simpler than those in the literature. As…
