The syntactic complexity of a regular language is the size of its syntactic semigroup. This semigroup is isomorphic to the transition semigroup of the minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting the language, that is, to the semigroup generated by transformations induced by non-empty words on the set of states of the automaton. In this paper we search for the largest syntactic semigroup of...

Some new algebraic structures related to the coloured Yang-Baxter equation, and termed coloured Hopf algebras, are reviewed. Coloured quantum universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras are defined in this context. An extension to the coloured graded Yang-Baxter equation and coloured Hopf superalgebras is also presented. The coloured two-parameter quantum universal enveloping algebra of gl(1/...

It is known that a left C-wrpp semigroup can be described as curler structure of a left band and a C-wrpp semigroup. In this paper, we introduce the class of weakly left C-wrpp semigroups which includes the class of weakly left C-rpp semigroups as a subclass. We shall particularly show that the spined product of a left C-wrpp semigroup and a right normal band is a weakly left C-wrpp semifroup. ...

A generalized Mehler semigroup (Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup) associated with some strongly continuous semigroup of linear operators on a real separable Hilbert space may be defined by using a skew convolution semigroup. Under a mild moment assumption, it is proved that the characteristic functional of any centered skew convolution semigroup is absolutely continuous and characterizations are gi...

In this paper we characterize when a Cayley automaton semigroup is a group, is trivial, is finite, is free, is a left zero semigroup, or is a right zero semigroup.

In this paper we combine results from [1] and [3] in order to determine the relationship between the deficiency of a group G and the deficiency of a Rees matrix semigroup S over G; in particular, we investigate how the efficiency of S depends on the efficiency of G. We start by defining semigroup and group presentations. Let A be an alphabet. We denote by A the free semigroup on A consisting of...

Cell movements in Fundulus blastoderms during gastrulation were studied utilizing time-lapse cinemicrography and electron microscopy. Time-lapse films reveal that cells of the enveloping layer undulate and sometimes separate briefly but remain together in a cohesive layer. During epiboly, the marginal enveloping layer cells move over the periblast as it expands over the yolk sphere. Movement oc...

That is, W0 is the set of all finite products of the generators, allowing repetitions. Let W signify the larger multiplicative semigroup generated by W0 together with {1/2}. We call W the wild semigroup and W0 the Wooley semigroup. The question we consider is: Which integers belong to these semigroups? The sets of integer elements W(Z) := W ∩ Z and W0(Z) := W0 ∩ Z themselves form multiplicative...

We introduce the notion of ideals in implicative semigroups, and then state the characterizations of the ideals. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 20M12, 06F05, 06A06, 06A12.

In this paper we describe the modulus semigroup of the C0-semigroup associated with the linear differential equation with delay { u1ptq Auptq Lut (t ¥ 0), up0q x∈X, u0 f ∈Lpp h, 0;Xq, in the Banach lattice X Lpp h, 0;Xq, where X is a Banach lattice with order continuous norm. The progress with respect to previous papers is that A may be an unbounded generator of a C0-semigroup possessing a modu...
