We consider the range of possible dynamics of cellular automata (CA) on two-sided beta-shifts $S_\beta$. We show that any reversible CA $F:S_\beta\to S_\beta$ has an almost equicontinuous direction whenever $S_\beta$ is not sofic. This has…

We show that a synchronized coded system $X$ is intrinsically ergodic of full support if and only if $ h(Y)$, the topological entropy of $Y$, is less than $h(X) $ whenever $Y$ is a proper subsystem of $ X $. We also show that like systems…

For any infinite transitive sofic shift $X$ we construct a reversible cellular automaton (i.e. an automorphism of the shift $X$) which breaks any given finite point of the subshift into a finite collection of gliders traveling into opposing…

We study limit sets of stable cellular automata standing from a symbolic dynamics point of view where they are a special case of sofic shifts admitting a steady epimorphism. We prove that there exists a right-closing almost-everywhere…

We address the dynamics of the cellular automaton (CA) that multiplies by $p/q$ in base $pq$ (for coprime $p>q>1$) by studying its trace subshift. We present a conjugacy of the trace to a previously studied base-$p/q$ numeration system. We…

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…

The flow equivalence of sofic shifts is examined using results about the structure of the corresponding covers. A canonical cover generalising the left Fischer cover to arbitrary sofic shifts is introduced and used to prove that the left…

In this paper we further develop the theory of one sided shift spaces over infinite alphabets, characterizing one-step shifts as edge shifts of ultragraphs and partially answering a conjecture regarding shifts of finite type (we show that…

We consider (stochastic) subgradient methods for strongly convex but potentially nonsmooth non-Lipschitz optimization. We provide new equivalent dual descriptions (in the style of dual averaging) for the classic subgradient method, the…

Let $G$ be a group and let $V$ be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. We introduce algebraic group subshifts $\Sigma \subset V^G$ which generalize both the class of algebraic sofic subshifts of $V^G$ and the class of…

We study the sofic tree shifts of $A^{\Sigma^*}$, where $\Sigma^*$ is a regular rooted tree of finite rank. In particular, we give their characterization in terms of unrestricted Rabin automata. We show that if $X \subset A^{\Sigma^*}$ is a…

We describe structural properties of strongly connected finite directed graphs, that are invariants of the topological conjugacy of their Markov-Dyck shifts. For strongly connected finite directed graphs with these properties topological…

We provide an example of a non-finitely generated group which admits a nonempty strongly aperiodic SFT. Furthermore, we completely characterize the groups with this property in terms of their finitely generated subgroups and the roots of…

Subshifts with property $(A)$ are constructed from a class of directed graphs. As special cases the Markov-Dyck shifts are shown to have property $(A)$. The semigroups, that are associated to $\mathcal R$-graph shifts with Property (A), are…

We present the first non-trivial fully dynamic algorithm maintaining exact single-source distances in unweighted graphs. This resolves an open problem stated by Sankowski [COCOON 2005] and van den Brand and Nanongkai [FOCS 2019]. Previous…

Let $ X_{\beta}$ be a sofic $ \beta $-shift for $ \beta \in (1, 2] $. We show that there is an $ S $-gap shift $ X(S) $ such that $ X_{\beta} $ and $ X(S) $ are right-resolving almost conjugate. Conversely, a condition on $ S \subseteq…

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…

We show that a cellular automaton on a one-dimensional two-sided mixing subshift of finite type is a von Neumann regular element in the semigroup of cellular automata if and only if it is split epic onto its image in the category of sofic…

Let $S=\{s_i\in\mathbb N\cup\{0\}:0\leq s_i<s_{i+1}\}$ and let $d_{0}=s_{0}$ and $\Delta(S)=\{d_{n}\}_{n}$ where $d_{n}=s_{n}-s_{n-1}$. In this note, we show that an $S$-gap shift is subshift of finite type (SFT) if and only if $S$ is…

We study the neutral periodic points of the Markov-Dyck shifts of finite strongly connected directed graphs. Under certain hypothesis on the structure of the graphs we show, that the topological conjugacy of their Markov-Dyck shifts implies…
