Some decision problems on integer matrices

Christian Choffrut, Juhani Karhumäki (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Given a finite set of matrices with integer entries, consider the question of determining whether the semigroup they generated 1) is free; 2) contains the identity matrix; 3) contains the null matrix or 4) is a group. Even for matrices of dimension 3 , questions 1) and 3) are undecidable. For dimension 2 , they are still open as far as we know. Here we prove that problems 2) and 4) are decidable by proving more generally that it is recursively decidable whether or not a given non singular matrix belongs...

Subtraction semigroups

Bohdan Zelinka (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

A subtraction semigroup is a semigroup ( A , . , - ) with a further operation " - " added, called subtraction and satisfying certain axioms. The paper concerns a problem by B. M. Schein concerning the structure of multiplication in a subtraction semigroup.
