The study of finite automata and regular languages is a privileged meeting point of algebra and logic. Since the work of Buchi, regular languages have been classified according to their descriptive complexity, i.e. the type of logical…
Trapezoidal words are words having at most $n+1$ distinct factors of length $n$ for every $n\ge 0$. They therefore encompass finite Sturmian words. We give combinatorial characterizations of trapezoidal words and exhibit a formula for their…
We investigate the complexity of the separation problem associated to classes of regular languages. For a class C, C-separation takes two regular languages as input and asks whether there exists a third language in C which includes the…
We prove that, for any arbitrary finite alphabet and for the uniform distribution over deterministic and accessible automata with n states, the average complexity of Moore's state minimization algorithm is in O(n log n). Moreover this bound…
We provide a method, based on automata theory, to mechanically prove the correctness of many numeration systems based on Fibonacci numbers. With it, long case-based and induction-based proofs of correctness can be replaced by simply…
Let a complex algebraic reductive group $\bf G$ act on a complex algebraic manifold $\bf X$. For a $\bf G$-invariant subvariety $\Xi$ of the nilpotent cone $\mathcal{N}(\mathfrak{g}^*)\subset \mathfrak{g}^*$ we define a notion of…
In this paper we study an abelian version of the notion of return word. Our main result is a new characterization of Sturmian words via abelian returns. Namely, we prove that a word is Sturmian if and only if each of its factors has two or…
It is known that any rational abstract numeration system is faithfully, and effectively, represented by an N-rational series. A simple proof of this result is given which yields a representation of this series which in turn allows a simple…
We compute the Frobenius number for numerical semigroups generated by the squares of three consecutive Fibonacci numbers. We achieve this by using and comparing three distinct algorithmic approaches: those developed by Ram\'irez Alfons\'in…
Group languages are regular languages recognized by finite groups, or equivalently by finite automata in which each letter induces a permutation on the set of states. We investigate the separation problem for this class of languages: given…
An automaton is partially ordered if the only cycles in its transition diagram are self-loops. The expressivity of partially ordered NFAs (poNFAs) can be characterized by the Straubing-Th\'erien hierarchy. Level 3/2 is recognized by poNFAs,…
We give efficient algorithms for ranking Lyndon words of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$. The rank of a Lyndon word is its position in the sequence of lexicographically ordered Lyndon words of the same length. The outputs are…
We consider the Abelian longest common factor problem in two scenarios: when input strings are uncompressed and are of size $n$, and when the input strings are run-length encoded and their compressed representations have size at most $m$.…
This note contains a report of a proof by computer that the Fibonacci group F(2,9) is automatic. The automatic structure can be used to solve the word problem in the group. Furthermore, it can be seen directly from the word-acceptor that…
We have rediscovered a simple algorithm to compute the mathematical constant \[ \pi=3.14159265\cdots. \] The algorithm had been known for a long time but it might not be recognized as a fast, practical algorithm. The time complexity of it…
The quotient complexity of a regular language L is the number of left quotients of L, which is the same as the state complexity of L. Suppose that L and L' are binary regular languages with quotient complexities m and n, and that the…
A weighted automaton is functional if any two accepting runs on the same finite word have the same value. In this paper, we investigate functional weighted automata for four different measures: the sum, the mean, the discounted sum of…
A formal definition of epsilon-complexity of an individual continuous function defined on a unit cube is proposed. This definition is consistent with the Kolmogorov's idea of the complexity of an object. A definition of epsilon-complexity…
We provide an easily checkable algebraic characterization of positive expansivity for Additive Cellular Automata over a finite abelian group. First of all, an easily checkable characterization of positive expansivity is provided for the non…
The abelian pattern matching problem consists in finding all substrings of a text which are permutations of a given pattern. This problem finds application in many areas and can be solved in linear time by a naive sliding window approach.…
