Holt and R\"over proved that finitely generated bounded automata groups have indexed co-word problem. Here we sharpen this result to show they are in fact co-ET0L.
L systems generalise context-free grammars by incorporating parallel rewriting, and generate languages such as EDT0L and ET0L that are strictly contained in the class of indexed languages. In this paper we show that many of the languages…
We prove that the word problem for the infinite cyclic group is not EDT0L, and obtain as a corollary that a finitely generated group with EDT0L word problem must be torsion. In addition, we show that the property of having an EDT0L word…
We show that the class of groups where EDT0L languages can be used to describe solution sets to systems of equations is closed under direct products, wreath products with finite groups, and passing to finite index subgroups. We also add the…
We show that, given an equation over a finitely generated free group, the set of all solutions in reduced words forms an effectively constructible EDT0L language. In particular, the set of all solutions in reduced words is an indexed…
We show that, given a word equation over a finitely generated free group, the set of all solutions in reduced words forms an EDT0L language. In particular, it is an indexed language in the sense of Aho. The question of whether a description…
The survey provides an overview of the work done in the last 10 years to characterise solutions to equations in groups in terms of formal languages. We begin with the work of Ciobanu, Diekert and Elder, who showed that solutions to systems…
The co-word problem of a group G generated by a set X is defined as the set of words in X which do not represent 1 in G. We introduce a new method to decide if a permutation group has context-free co-word problem. We use this method to…
Accessible groups for which the language of all words defining the identity is accepted by a certain class of nested stack automata are virtually free.
Let $G$ be a finitely generated group, and let $\Sigma$ be a finite subset that generates $G$ as a monoid. The \emph{word problem of $G$ with respect to $\Sigma$} consists of all words in the free monoid $\Sigma^{\ast}$ that are equal to…
To any family of languages LAN, let us associate the class, denoted $\pi(\text{LAN})$, of finitely generated groups that admit a group presentation whose set of relators forms a language in LAN. We show that the class of L-presented groups,…
A finitary automaton group is a group generated by an invertible, deterministic finite-state letter-to-letter transducer whose only cycles are self-loops at an identity state. We show that, for this presentation of finite groups, the…
William W. Boone and Graham Higman proved that a finitely generated group has soluble word problem if and only if it can be embedded in a simple group that can be embedded in a finitely presented group. We prove the exact analogue for…
Elder, Kambites, and Ostheimer showed that if the word problem of a finitely generated group $H$ is accepted by a $G$-automaton for an abelian group $G$, then $H$ is virtually abelian. We give a new, elementary, and purely combinatorial…
We study finitely generated groups whose word problems are accepted by counter automata. We show that a group has word problem accepted by a blind n-counter automaton in the sense of Greibach if and only if it is virtually free abelian of…
We consider the class of groups whose word problem is poly-context-free; that is, an intersection of finitely many context-free languages. We show that any group which is virtually a finitely generated subgroup of a direct product of free…
The existing algorithm to compute and verify the automata associated with an automatic group deals only with the subclass of shortlex automatic groups. This paper describes the extension of the algorithm to deal with automatic groups…
It is well known that the problem solving equations in virtually free groups can be reduced to the problem of solving twisted word equations with regular constraints over free monoids with involution. In this paper we prove that the set of…
In this paper we explore the connections between the class of Visibly Pushdown Languages ($\mathbf{VPL}$) and the natural sets of words one can associate to a finitely generated group. We show that the word problem of a finitely generated…
Anisimov and Seifert show that a group has a regular word problem ifand only if it is finite. Muller and Schupp (together with Dunwoody's accessibility result) show that a group has context free word problem if and only if it is virtually…
