This paper presents a general and systematic discussion of various symbolic representations of iterated maps through subshifts. We give a unified model for all continuous maps on a metric space, by representing a map through a general…
We consider partitioned graphs, by which we mean finite strongly connected directed graphs with a partitioned edge set $ {\mathcal E} ={\mathcal E}^- \cup{\mathcal E}^+$. With additionally given a relation $\mathcal R$ between the edges in…
Sofic shifts are symbolic dynamical systems defined by the set of bi-infinite sequences on an edge-labeled directed graph, called a presentation. We study the computational complexity of an array of natural decision problems about…
$\lambda$-graph systems are labeled Bratteli diagram with shift operations. They present subshifts. Their matrix presentations are called symbolic matrix systems. We define skew products of $\lambda$-graph systems and study extensions of…
We consider families of coded systems that contain the Dyck shifts and that are closed under topological conjugacy. We introduce a notion of hyposynchronization of subshifts. We introduce a notion of restricted complexity of…
We associate all small subgraph counting problems with a systematic graph encoding/representation system which makes a coherent use of graphlet structures. The system can serve as a unified foundation for studying and connecting many…
In multivariate statistics, acyclic mixed graphs with directed and bidirected edges are widely used for compact representation of dependence structures that can arise in the presence of hidden (i.e., latent or unobserved) variables. Indeed,…
This chapter presents some of the links between automata theory and symbolic dynamics. The emphasis is on two particular points. The first one is the interplay between some particular classes of automata, such as local automata and results…
The paper gives a characterisation of the chain relation of a sofic subshift. Every sofic subshift $\Sigma$ can be described by a labelled graph $G$. Factorising $G$ in a suitable way we obtain the graph $G/_\approx$ that offers insight…
We propose a definition of graph subshifts of finite type that can be seen as extending both the notions of subshifts of finite type from classical symbolic dynamics and finitely presented groups from combinatorial group theory. These are…
We present a graph-theoretic model for dynamical systems $(X,\sigma)$ given by a surjective local homeomorphism $\sigma$ on a totally disconnected compact metrizable space $X$. In order to make the dynamics appear explicitly in the graph,…
In this work we establish that finite directed graphs give rise to semiflows on the power set of their nodes. We analyze the topological dynamics for semiflows on finite directed graphs by characterizing Morse decompositions, recurrence…
Notions of minimal sufficient causation are incorporated within the directed acyclic graph causal framework. Doing so allows for the graphical representation of sufficient causes and minimal sufficient causes on causal directed acyclic…
The inductive biases of graph representation learning algorithms are often encoded in the background geometry of their embedding space. In this paper, we show that general directed graphs can be effectively represented by an embedding model…
The notions of symbolic matrix system and $\lambda$-graph system for a subshift are generalizations of symbolic matrix and $\lambda$-graph (= finite symbolic matrix) for a sofic shift respectively ([Doc. Math. 4(1999), 285-340]). M. Nasu…
We define a natural class of graphs by generalizing prior notions of visibility, allowing the representing regions and sightlines to be arbitrary. We consider mainly the case of compact connected representing regions, proving two results…
To each colored graph, one can associate its closure in the universal space of isomorphism classes of pointed colored graphs, and this subspace can be regarded as a generalized subshift. Based on this correspondence, we extend the notion of…
Characterization of real-world complex systems increasingly involves the study of their topological structure using graph theory. Among global network properties, small-world property, consisting in existence of relatively short paths…
In this work, on the one hand, we survey and amplify old results concerning tame dynamical systems and, on the other, prove some new results and exhibit new examples of such systems. In particular, we study tame symbolic systems and…
In this thesis we present a semantic representation formalism based on directed graphs and explore its linguistic adequacy and explanatory benefits in the semantics of plurality and quantification. Our graph language covers the essentials…
