چکیده

In the infinite Post Correspondence Problem an instance (h, g) consists of two morphisms h and g, and the problem is to determine whether or not there exists an infinite word α such that h(α) = g(α). In the general case this problem was shown to be undecidable by K. Ruohonen (1985). Recently, it was proved that the infinite PCP is undecidable already when the domain alphabet of the morphisms consists of at least 9 letters. Here we show that the problem is undecidable for instances where the morphisms have a domain of 6 letters, when we restrict to solutions of ω-languages of the form R where R is a given regular language.

Deterministic Fuzzy Automaton on Subclasses of Fuzzy Regular ω-Languages

In formal language theory, we are mainly interested in the natural language computational aspects of ω-languages. Therefore in this respect it is convenient to consider fuzzy ω-languages. In this paper, we introduce two subclasses of fuzzy regular ω-languages called fuzzy n-local ω-languages and Buchi fuzzy n-local ω-languages, and give some closure properties for those subclasses. We define a ...

Classifying ω-Regular Partitions

We try to develop a theory of ω-regular partitions in parallel with the theory around the Wagner hierarchy of regular ω-languages. In particular, we generalize a theorem of L. Staiger and K. Wagner to the case of partitions, prove decidability of all levels of the Boolean hierarchy of regular partitions over open sets, establish coincidence of reducibilities by continuous functions and by funct...

On Decision Problems for Probabilistic Büchi Automata

Probabilistic Büchi automata (PBA) are finite-state acceptors for infinite words where all choices are resolved by fixed distributions and where the accepted language is defined by the requirement that the measure of the accepting runs is positive. The main contribution of this paper is a complementation operator for PBA and a discussion on several algorithmic problems for PBA. All interesting ...

Finite Substitutions and Integer Weighted Finite Automata

In this work we present a new chain of undecidability reductions, which begins from the classical halting problem of Turing machines and ends to the undecidability proof of the equivalence problem for nite substitutions on regular languages in Chapter 4. This undecidability result was originally proved by L. Lisovik in 1997. We present a new proof, which is shorter and more elementary than the ...

Deterministic finite H-Automata and ω-regular partial languages

Partial words, that is, finite words with holes, were introduced in the 70s by Fischer and Paterson, with respect to bioinformatics applications. Infinite partial words were introduced later. Recently, Dassow et al.’s connected partial words and regular languages. In this paper, we extend the local partial languages to local ω-partial languages and study their closure properties. We introduce t...
