Finitely based sets of 2-limited block-2-simple words

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathfrakA be an alphabet and W be a set of words in the free monoid mathfrakA∗. Let S(W) denote the Rees quotient over the ideal of mathfrakA∗ consisting of all words that are not subwords of words in W. A set of words W is called {em finitely based} if the monoid S(W) is finitely based. A word is called 2-limited if each variable occurs in at most twice. A {em block} of a word is a maximal subword of that does not contain any linear variables. We say that a word is {em block-2-simple} if each block of involves at most two distinct variables. We provide an algorithm that recognizes finitely based sets of words among sets of 2-limited block-2-simple words. We also present new sufficient conditions under which a set of words is non-finitely based.
