Unambiguous erasing morphisms in free monoids

Johannes C. Schneider (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

This paper discusses the fundamental combinatorial question of whether or not, for a given string α, there exists a morphism σ such that σ is unambiguous with respect to α, i.e. there exists no other morphism τ satisfying τ(α) = σ(α). While Freydenberger et al. [Int. J. Found. Comput. Sci. 17 (2006) 601–628] characterise those strings for which there exists an unambiguous nonerasing morphism σ, little is known about the unambiguity of erasing morphisms, i.e. morphisms that map symbols...

Unambiguous recognizable two-dimensional languages

Marcella Anselmo, Dora Giammarresi, Maria Madonia, Antonio Restivo (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We consider the family UREC of unambiguous recognizable two-dimensional languages. We prove that there are recognizable languages that are inherently ambiguous, that is UREC family is a proper subclass of REC family. The result is obtained by showing a necessary condition for unambiguous recognizable languages. Further UREC family coincides with the class of picture languages defined by unambiguous 2OTA and it strictly contains its deterministic counterpart. Some closure and non-closure properties of...

Undecidability of topological and arithmetical properties of infinitary rational relations

Olivier Finkel (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We prove that for every countable ordinal α one cannot decide whether a given infinitary rational relation is in the Borel class Σ α 0 (respectively Π α 0 ). Furthermore one cannot decide whether a given infinitary rational relation is a Borel set or a Σ 1 1 -complete set. We prove some recursive analogues to these properties. In particular one cannot decide whether an infinitary rational relation is an arithmetical set. We then deduce from the proof of these results some other ones, like: one cannot decide whether...
