چکیده

We relate the problem of computing the closure of a nitely generated subgroup of the free group in the pro-V topology, where V is a pseudovariety of nite groups, with an extension problem for inverse automata which can be stated as follows: given partial one-to-one maps on a nite set, can they be extended into permutations generating a group in V? The two problems are equivalent when V is extension-closed. Turning to practical computations, we modify Ribes and Za-lesski's algorithm to compute the prop closure of a nitely generated subgroup of the free group in polynomial time, and to eeectively compute its pro-nilpotent closure. Finally, we apply our results to a problem in nite monoid theory, the membership problem in pseudovarieties of inverse monoids which are Mal'cev products of semilattices and a pseudovariety of groups. RR esum e Nous etablissons un lien entre le probll eme du calcul de l'adhh erence d'un sous-groupe niment engendrr e du groupe libre dans la topologie pro-V, o u V est une pseudovarii et e de groupes nis, et un probll eme d'extension pour les automates inversifs qui peut ^ etre enoncc e de la faa con suivante : etant donnn ees des transformations partielles injectives d'un ensemble ni, peuvent-elles ^ etre etendues en des permutations qui engendrent un groupe dans V ? Les deux probll emes sont equivalents si V est fermm ee par extensions. Nous intt eressant ensuite aux calculs pratiques, nous modiions l'algorithme de Ribes et Zalesski pour calculer l'adhh erence prop d'un sous-groupe niment engendrr e du groupe libre en temps polynomial et pour cal-culer eeectivement sa cl^ oture pro-nilpotente. Ennn nous appliquons nos rr esultats a un probll eme de thh eorie des mono des nis, celui de de l'appartenance dans les pseu-dovari et es de monodes inversifs qui sont des produits de Mal'cev de demi-treillis et d'une pseudovari ett e de groupes.

Closed Subgroups in Pro-V Topologies and the Extension Problem for Inverse Automata

We relate the problem of computing the closure of a finitely generated subgroup of the free group in the pro-V topology, where V is a pseudovariety of finite groups, with an extension problem for inverse automata which can be stated as follows: given partial one-to-one maps on a finite set, can they be extended into permutations generating a group in V? The two problems are equivalent when V is...

Computing Closures of Nitely Generated Subgroups of the Free Group

RR esum e The aim of this paper is to present computing techniques for the nitely generated subgroups of the free group. The focus is the computation of the closures of a nitely generated subgroup for certain proonite topologies, namely the prop and the pro-nilpotent topology. However the rst section concentrates on the eeective manipulation of nitely generated subgroups when more elementary op...

Some (Fuzzy) Topologies on General\ Fuzzy Automata

In this paper, by presenting some notions and theorems, we obtaindifferent types of fuzzy topologies. In fact, we obtain someLowen-type  and Chang-type fuzzy topologies on general fuzzyautomata. To this end, first we define a Kuratowski fuzzy interioroperator which induces a  Lowen-type  fuzzy topology on the  set ofstates of a max- min general   fuzzy automaton. Also by  provingsome theorems, ...

PSPACE-complete problems for subgroups of free groups and inverse finite automata

We investigate the complexity of algorithmic problems on finitely generated subgroups of free groups. Margolis and Meakin showed how a finite monoid Synt(H) can be canonically and effectively associated with such a subgroup H. We show that H is pure (that is, closed under radical) if and only if Synt(H) is aperiodic. We also show that testing for this property of H is pspace-complete. In the pr...

J an 2 00 7 Two - letter group codes that preserve aperiodicity of inverse finite automata

We construct group codes over two letters (i.e., bases of subgroups of a two-generated free group) with special properties. Such group codes can be used for reducing algorithmic problems over large alphabets to algorithmic problems over a two-letter alphabet. Our group codes preserve aperiodicity of inverse finite automata. As an application we show that the following problems are PSpace-comple...
