On knowledge games.

J. M. Lasry, J. M. Morel, S. Solimini (1989)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We give a formalization of the ?knowledge games? which allows to study their decidability and convergence as a problem of mathematics. Our approach is based on a metalemma analogous to those of Von Neumann and Morgenstern at the beginning of Game Theory. We are led to definitions which characterize the knowledge games as objects is standard set theory. We then study rigorously the most classical knowledge games and, although we also prove that the ?common knowledge? in these games may be incomputable,...

On the decidability of semigroup freeness∗

Julien Cassaigne, Francois Nicolas (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

This paper deals with the decidability of semigroup freeness. More precisely, the freeness problem over a semigroup S is defined as: given a finite subset X ⊆ S, decide whether each element of S has at most one factorization over X. To date, the decidabilities of the following two freeness problems have been closely examined. In 1953, Sardinas and Patterson proposed a now famous algorithm for the freeness problem over the free monoids....
