Groups presented by certain classes of finite length-reducing string-rewriting systems
[chapter]
1987
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This corollary is very important in that it provides ways of proving that a certain group cannot be presented by a finite length-reducing and confluent string-rewriting system. ...
So we ask which classes of groups can be presented by which classes of string-rewriting systems. ...

About the descriptive power of certain classes of finite string-rewriting systems
1989
Theoretical Computer Science
Therefore, it is of interest to determine the descriptive power of these classes, i.e., to find algebraic characterizations for those classes of monoids that can be presented by certain types of finite ...
Finite string-rewriting systems can be used to present monoids and groups. In general, these finite presentations do not give much information about the monoids and groups presented. ...

Summary: “For a finite weakly confluent monadic string-rewriting system R presenting a group the set of valid linear sentences is decidable. ...
Here we show that this is no longer true in general if R is a finite weakly confluent monadic string-rewriting system that does not present a group. ...

Finally, it is shown that no finite length-reducing and complete string rewriting system can present the group G;, which is an easy consequence of the result by Muller and Schupp and the fact that finite ...
On weakly confluent monadic string-rewriting systems
1993
Theoretical Computer Science
It is investigated as to how far the various decidability results for finite, monadic, and confluent string-rewriting systems can be carried over to the class of finite monadic string-rewriting systems ...
On the other hand, for finite, monadic, and weakly confluent systems that present groups, the validation problem for linear sentences is decidable. ...
On the other hand, they have all been solved for certain restricted classes of finite string-rewriting systems. ...

Thue systems as rewriting systems
1987
Journal of symbolic computation
This paper is a survey of recent results on Thue systems, where the systems are viewed as rewriting systems on strings over a finite alphabet. ...
Since Thue systems may also be considered as presentations of monoids, the language of monoids (and groups) is used to describe some of these properties. ...

Contributions of Ronald V. Book to the theory of string-rewriting systems
1998
Theoretical Computer Science
Part of our appreciation of the impact that he had on the field of rewriting systems was what these students and post-dots went on to do after they left Santa Barbara. ...
He was, in effect, the leader of a group that included all or most of these. ...
Thue systems [15] and semi-Thue systems These are the two basic abstract concepts used in the study of string rewriting, and are presented here briefly. ...

Some undecidability results concerning the property of preserving regularity
1998
Theoretical Computer Science
In addition, some undecidability results are presented that generalize results of Gilleron and Tison (1995) from term-rewriting systems to string-rewriting systems. ...
A finite string-rewriting system R preserves regularity if and only if it preserves Z-regularity, where C is the alphabet containing exactly those letters that have occurrences in the rules of R. ...
Acknowledgements The author wants to thank Klaus Madlener and Paliath Narendran for very fruitful discussions regarding the result presented in Section 6 and for pointing out the papers [15, 17] . ...

On deciding the confluence of a finite string-rewriting system on a given congruence class
1987
Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
In general it is undecidable whether or not a given finite string-rewriting system R is confluent on a given congruence class [w]~, even when only length-reducing systems are considered. ...
A string-rewriting system R on alphabet C induces a congruence ++ 2 on the free monoid 27 generated by Z, and hence, the set M, of congruence classes modulo -2 is a monoid. ...

We show that these are well-behaved and convenient to use, and give several examples of classes of groups for which they can be constructed from natural presentations. ...

A finitely presented monoid has a decidable word problem if and only if it can be presented by some left-recursive convergent string-rewriting system if and only if it has a recursive cross-section. ...

Length-Based Attacks for Certain Group Based Encryption Rewriting Systems

pre-print
In this note, we describe a probabilistic attack on public key cryptosystems based on the word/conjugacy problems for finitely presented groups of the type proposed recently by Anshel, Anshel and Goldfeld ...
The attack in this paper is based on having a canonical representative of each string relative to which a length function may be computed. Hence the term length attack. ...

Since the class of groups that can be presented in this way is exactly the class of finitely generated context-free groups, we see that the linear sentences can be used to solve uniformly a large class ...

Bulletin of the Australian Mathematical Society
We prove that the groups presented by finite convergent monadic rewriting systems with generators of finite order are exactly the free products of finitely many finite groups, thereby confirming Gilman's ...
We also prove that the finite cyclic groups of order at least three are the only finite groups admitting a presentation by more than one finite convergent monadic rewriting system (up to relabelling), ...
