An automatic sequence is a letter-to-letter coding of a fixed point of a uniform morphism. More generally, we have morphic sequences, which are letter-to-letter codings of fixed points of arbitrary morphisms. There are many examples where…

Checking two probabilistic automata for equivalence has been shown to be a key problem for efficiently establishing various behavioural and anonymity properties of probabilistic systems. In recent experiments a randomised equivalence test…

A fundamental fact for the algebraic theory of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) over a fixed template is that pp-interpretations between at most countable \omega-categorical relational structures have two algebraic counterparts for…

We study the conjugacy problem in cyclic extensions of free groups. It is shown that the conjugacy problem is solvable in split extensions of finitely generated free groups by virtually inner automorphisms. An algorithm for construction of…

Stallings folding theory is modified, using double coset representatives, and to applied to the study of subgroups of amalgamated products of finite rank free groups. As a first application the subgroup membership problem for such groups is…

For a free group automorphism, we prove that its poset of attracting lamination orbits is a canonical invariant of the associated mapping torus. That is, if a free-by-cyclic group splits as a mapping torus in two different ways, then the…

We study the way in which the abstract structure of a small overlap monoid is reflected in, and may be algorithmically deduced from, a small overlap presentation. We show that every C(2) monoid admits an essentially canonical C(2)…

In this paper, we study groups of automorphisms of algebraic systems over a set of $p$-adic integers with different sets of arithmetic and coordinate-wise logical operations and congruence relations modulo $p^k,$ $k\ge 1.$ The main result…

Applied category theory often studies symmetric monoidal categories (SMCs) whose morphisms represent open systems. These structures naturally accommodate complex wiring patterns, leveraging (co)monoidal structures for splitting and merging…

The representation problem of finite-dimensional Markov matrices in Markov semigroups is revisited, with emphasis on concrete criteria for matrix subclasses of theoretical or practical relevance, such as equal-input, circulant, symmetric or…

We present a method for finding cross-modal space-time correspondences. Given two images from different visual modalities, such as an RGB image and a depth map, our model identifies which pairs of pixels correspond to the same physical…

The word problem for categories with free products and coproducts (sums), SP-categories, is directly related to the problem of determining the equivalence of certain processes. Indeed, the maps in these categories may be directly…

The interval monoid $\Upsilon$(P) of a poset P is defined by generators [x, y], where x $\le$ y in P , and relations [x, x] = 1, [x, z] = [x, y] $\times$ [y, z] for x $\le$ y $\le$ z. It embeds into its universal group $\Upsilon$ $\pm$ (P),…
