Hypercodes, right convex languages and their syntactic monoids [PDF]
If X* is the free monoid generated by the alphabet X, then any subset L of X* is called a language over X. If PL is the principal congruence determined by L, then the quotient monoid syn(L) = X*/PL is called the syntactic monoid of L. A hypercode over X is any set of nonemtpy words that are noncomparable with respect to the embedding order of X*.

Nondeterministic Syntactic Complexity [PDF]
We introduce a new measure on regular languages: their nondeterministic syntactic complexity. It is the least degree of any extension of the ‘canonical boolean representation’ of the syntactic monoid. Equivalently, it is the least number of states of any

Piecewise testable tree languages [PDF]
This paper presents a decidable characterization of tree languages that can be defined by a boolean combination of Sigma_1 sentences. This is a tree extension of the Simon theorem, which says that a string language can be defined by a boolean combination

Similarities of Jonsson spectra’s classes
The study of syntactic and semantic properties of a first-order language, generally speaking, for incomplete theories, is one of the urgent problems of mathematical logic.

Recognizing splicing languages: Syntactic monoids and simultaneous pumping
AbstractWe use syntactic monoid methods, together with an enhanced pumping lemma, to investigate the structure of splicing languages. We obtain an algorithm for deciding whether a regular language is a reflexive splicing language, but the general question remains open.

On Deterministic Finite Automata and Syntactic Monoid Size [PDF]
We continue our investigation on the relationship between regular languages and syntactic monoid size. In this paper we confirm the conjecture on two generator transformation semigroups. We show that for every prime n ≥ 7 there exist natural numbers k and l with n = k + l such that the semigroup Uk, l is maximal w.r.t.

First-Order Quantifiers and the Syntactic Monoid of Height Fragments of Picture Languages
We investigate the expressive power of first-order quantifications in the context of monadic second-order logic over pictures. We show that k+1 set quantifier alternations allow to define a picture language that cannot be defined using k set quantifier alternations preceded by arbitrarily many first-order quantifier alternations. The approach uses, for

Biprefix codes, inverse semigroups and syntactic monoids of injective automata
The author proves some properties of automata and semigroups. He shows that each injective automaton may be simulated by the minimal automaton of a language of the form \(B^*\), B a finite biprefix code. A similar result holds for any automaton, with ''biprefix'' replaced by ''prefix''.
