Equational description of pseudovarieties of homomorphisms

Michal Kunc (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

The notion of pseudovarieties of homomorphisms onto finite monoids was recently introduced by Straubing as an algebraic characterization for certain classes of regular languages. In this paper we provide a mechanism of equational description of these pseudovarieties based on an appropriate generalization of the notion of implicit operations. We show that the resulting metric monoids of implicit operations coincide with the standard ones, the only difference being the actual interpretation of pseudoidentities. As...

Fixed points of endomorphisms of certain free products

Pedro V. Silva (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

The fixed point submonoid of an endomorphism of a free product of a free monoid and cyclic groups is proved to be rational using automata-theoretic techniques. Maslakova’s result on the computability of the fixed point subgroup of a free group automorphism is generalized to endomorphisms of free products of a free monoid and a free group which are automorphisms of the maximal subgroup.

Infinite periodic points of endomorphisms over special confluent rewriting systems

Julien Cassaigne, Pedro V. Silva (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider endomorphisms of a monoid defined by a special confluent rewriting system that admit a continuous extension to the completion given by reduced infinite words, and study from a dynamical viewpoint the nature of their infinite periodic points. For prefix-convergent endomorphisms and expanding endomorphisms, we determine the structure of the set of all infinite periodic points in terms of adherence values, bound the periods and show that all regular periodic points are attractors.
