Computation in sets with atoms
- Date
- Tuesday, July 08 2014 at 11:00AM
- Place
- Amphithéâtre 121 (Bât. De Vinci)
- Speaker
- Sławomir Lasota (University of Warsaw)
In sets with atoms, finiteness is relaxed to ''finiteness up to permutation'', formally defined as orbit-finiteness. The talk will be an overview of models of computation, such as (various kinds of) automata, Petri nets or Turing machines, where state spaces, input alphabets and transition relations are orbit-finite sets with atoms. I will focus on fundamental properties, such as (lack of) determinisation, and on fundamental analysis problems, such as reachability. I will also mention recently discovered links to descriptive complexity, constraint satisfaction, and model theory.
