For a finite commutative ring with unit the authors determine which linear transformations M: RN—+RN can be realized by finite automata.
Abstract
Let R be a nonempty set, let N consist of all non-negative rational integers, and denote by RN the set of all functions on N to R. If R is a ring, a map M: R"—>P^ is linear if M(rxfx+r2f2)=rx(Mfx) +r2(Mf2) for rx, r2 in R, fx, f2 in RN. For a finite commutative ring with unit we determine which linear transformations M: RN—+RN can be realized by finite automata. More precisely, let A, B he finite nonempty sets. A map M: AN—>BN is an automaton transformation if there exists a finite set Q, maps Mq: A X£>—><2, Mb: A XQ-*B, elements h in B, q in Q such that corresponding to each/ in AN there exists an h in QN satisfying

Inverse subsemigroups of finite index in finitely generated inverse semigroups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied some aspects of Schein's theory of cosets for closed inverse subsemigroups of inverse semigroups and established an index formula for chains of sub-semig groups, and an analogue of M. Hall's Theorem on the number of coset of a fixed finite index.

Reachability of a Class of Coupled Discrete Event Systems

L.E. Solé, +1 more
TL;DR: Coupled discrete event systems are realized in a special form which facilitate to prove that certain point-wise local reachability of all subsystems implies reachable of the large system.

On State-Space Representations of General Discrete-Time Dynamical Systems

TL;DR: In this article , it is shown that every non-autonomous, discrete-time, causal, time invariant system has a state-space representation, and its minimality is discussed.

DesCo: a Web-base Knowledge System for Descriptional Complexity of Formal Languages

TL;DR: DesCo, a web-based knowledge system for descriptional complexity results, was created to compensate for this, as well as to provide some features that could be of help to the researchers, when looking for new results.
