Sofic-Dyck shifts
We define the class of sofic-Dyck shifts which extends the class of
Markov-Dyck shifts introduced by Inoue, Krieger and Matsumoto. Sofic-Dyck
shifts are shifts of sequences whose finite factors form unambiguous
context-free languages. We show that they correspond exactly to the class of
shifts of sequences whose sets of factors are visibly pushdown languages. We
give an expression of the zeta function of a sofic-Dyck shift
On subshift presentations
We consider partitioned graphs, by which we mean finite strongly connected
directed graphs with a partitioned edge set . With additionally given a relation between
the edges in and the edges in , and denoting
the vertex set of the graph by , we speak of an an -graph . From -graphs we construct semigroups (with zero) that we call
-graph semigroups. We describe a method of presenting subshifts
by means of suitably structured labelled directed graphs with vertex set , edge set , and a label
map that asigns to the edges in labels in an -graph
semigroup . We call the presented subshift an -presentation.
We introduce a Property and a Property (c), tof subshifts, and we
introduce a notion of strong instantaneity. Under an assumption on the
structure of the -graphs we show for strongly instantaneous
subshifts with Property and associated semigroup , that Properties and (c) are
necessary and sufficient for the existence of an -presentation, to which the
subshift is topologically conjugate,Comment: 33 page
Unambiguously coded systems
We study the coded systems introduced by Blanchard and Hansel. We give
several constructions which allow one to represent a coded system as a strongly
unambiguous one
Shifts of k-nested sequences
International audienceWe introduce a new class of subshifts of sequences, called k-graph shifts, which expresses nested constraints on k symbols instead of on two symbols like for Dyck shifts. These shifts share many properties with Markov-Dyck shifts but are generally not conjugate to them. We prove that they are conjugate to sofic-Dyck shifts. We give a computation of the multivariate zeta function for this class of shifts
