Amenable groups and cellular automata

Tullio G. Ceccherini-Silberstein, Antonio Machi, Fabio Scarabotti (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that the theorems of Moore and Myhill hold for cellular automata whose universes are Cayley graphs of amenable finitely generated groups. This extends the analogous result of A. Machi and F. Mignosi “Garden of Eden configurations for cellular automata on Cayley graphs of groups” for groups of sub-exponential growth.

An abstract monadic semantics for value recursion

Eugenio Moggi, Amr Sabry (2004)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

This paper proposes an operational semantics for value recursion in the context of monadic metalanguages. Our technique for combining value recursion with computational effects works uniformly for all monads. The operational nature of our approach is related to the implementation of recursion in Scheme and its monadic version proposed by Friedman and Sabry, but it defines a different semantics and does not rely on assignments. When contrasted to the axiomatic approach proposed by Erkök and Launchbury,...

An aperiodicity problem for multiwords

Véronique Bruyère, Olivier Carton, Alexandre Decan, Olivier Gauwin, Jef Wijsen (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Multiwords are words in which a single symbol can be replaced by a nonempty set of symbols. They extend the notion of partial words. A word w is certain in a multiword M if it occurs in every word that can be obtained by selecting one single symbol among the symbols provided in each position of M. Motivated by a problem on incomplete databases, we investigate a variant of the pattern matching problem which is to decide whether a word w is certain in a multiword M. We study the language CERTAIN(w)...
