چکیده

— A wellknown methodfor solving the word problem of a Jinite presented group given as HNN extension G* = (G, a; âua = (p(u),ueU > is to reduce it to the word problem of G by means ofan a-reductionfunction [1,3,4].// isshown that the complexity ofthisme thod dépends very strongly on the représentation ofG*. For any Grzegorczyck class S n, the complexity of the method applied to G* as above may be not less than in é\, while the method applied to an o ther présentation ofG*, G* = (H, s; svs = \\f (v), veY) may be of complexity in é\. For a recursively presented group G* the me thod applied to one présentation may not work at ail, while applied to an other présentation is very easy. Résumé. — Une méthode bien connue pour résoudre le problème des mots dans un groupe donné comme extension de HNN, G* = (G,a; aua = q>(u),ueU ) est de le réduire au problème des mots dans . G au moyen d'une fonction de a-réduction. On montre que la complexité de cette méthode dépend très fortement de la représentation de G*. Pour toute classe de Grzegorczyck S n, la complexité de la méthode, appliquée à G* donné comme ci-dessus peut être dans S n, alors que la même méthode, appliquée à une autre présentation de G*,G* = ( H, s; Ivs = \|/ {v), v e V),peut être de complexité dans ê A. Pour un groupe G* récursivement présenté, la méthode, appliquée à une certaine présentation, peut ne pas aboutir du tout, alors qu'elle est très facile pour une autre présentation.

Optimizing the Static and Dynamic Scheduling problem of Automated Guided Vehicles in Container Terminals

The Minimum Cost Flow (MCF) problem is a well-known problem in the area of network optimisation. To tackle this problem, Network Simplex Algorithm (NSA) is the fastest solution method. NSA has three extensions, namely Network Simplex plus Algorithm (NSA+), Dynamic Network Simplex Algorithm (DNSA) and Dynamic Network Simplex plus Algorithm (DNSA+). The objectives of the research reported in this...

Hnn - Extensions of F Inite I Nverse S Emigroups

THE concept of HNN-extensions of groups was introduced by Higman, Neumann and Neumann in 1949. HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products have played a crucial role in combinatorial group theory, especially for algorithmic problems. In inverse semigroup theory there are many ways of constructing HNNextension in order to ensure the embeddability of the original inverse semigroup in the new one...

Rational Subsets in HNN-Extensions and Amalgamated Products

of a group H, where A and B are isomorphic subgroups of H and φ : A → B is an isomorphism, results from adding to H a new generator t such that the conjugation of the subgroup A ≤ H by t realizes the isomorphism φ. We also say that A and B in (2) are the associated subgroups. One of the first important applications of HNN-extensions was a more transparent proof of the celebrated result of Novik...

A Combined Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Vehicle Routing Problem and its Open Version

Abstract: The Open Vehicle Routing Problem (OVRP) is one of the most important extensions of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) that has many applications in industrial and service. In the VRP, a set of customers with a specified demand of goods are given and a depot where a fleet of identical capacitated vehicles is located. We are also given the ‘‘traveling costs’’ between the depot and all th...

Context-freeness of the Languages of Schützenberger Automata of Hnn-extensions of Finite Inverse Semigroups

We prove that the Schützenberger graph of any element of the HNN-extension of a finite inverse semigroup S with respect to its standard presentation is a context-free graph in the sense of [11], showing that the language L recognized by this automaton is context-free. Finally we explicitly construct the grammar generating L, and from this fact we show that the word problem for an HNN-extension ...
