Succinctness of regular expressions with empty word

Consider regular expressions on some alphabet $\Sigma$, without the empty word: $$e,f:=a\in\Sigma\mid e\cdot f \mid e+f\mid e^+$$ These $\varepsilon$⁻free expressions can define all regular languages …

Induced subgraphs with interface

I am interested in hypergraphs with interfaces, I'll call them simply "graphs" in the following. Formally, a graph of sort $k$ is a tuple $(V,E,i)$ with $E\subseteq V^+$ is the set of edges, each edge …

Understanding graph minor theorem

This question is two-fold, and is mainly reference-oriented: Is there somewhere where the main intuitions for proving graph minor theorem are given, without going too much into the details? I know t …

Word equations with integer parameters

This is mainly a reference request. Let us define a parameterized expression on a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ as follows: $$e,e':= w\mid w^i \mid e\cdot e'$$ Where $w\in\Sigma^+$ is a word, and $i$ is an …

Complexity of inclusion of transfinite expressions

Transfinite expressions on an alphabet $\Sigma$ are generated by the grammar : $$e,f:= a\in\Sigma\mid e\cdot f\mid e+f\mid e^*\mid e^\omega.$$ They describe languages of transfinite words, i.e. words …

Distance between regular languages

I want to define a notion of "closeness" between two regular languages of finite words in $\Sigma^*$ (and/or infinite words in $\Sigma^\omega$). The basic idea is that we want two languages to be clos …

EXPSPACE-complete problems

I am currently trying to find EXPSPACE-complete problems (mainly to find inspiration for a reduction), and I am surprised by the small number of results coming up. So far, I found these, and I have …

On bandwidth of graphs

I am trying to find references on algorithms for graphs of bounded bandwidth, in the same way as it is done with treewidth for instance. I could only find research related to computing the bandwidth, …

Reference for cost of translating between regular language formalisms

It is well-known that regular languages can be defined equivalently via many formalisms, among which regular expressions, NFAs, finite monoids, Monadic Second-Order logic (MSO). The cost (say in size …

Implementation of surreal numbers for games

There is a very nice construction by Conway of surreal numbers. They are "numbers" that contain both real numbers and ordinals, are totally ordered, and have all the properties of a field (except they …
