The Subword Reversing Method
We summarize the main known results involving subword reversing, a method of semigroup theory for constructing van Kampen diagrams by referring to a preferred direction. In good ca...

Automatic Text Categorization of Mathematical Word Problems
This paper describes a novel application of text categorization for mathematical word problems, namely Multiplicative Compare and Equal Group problems. The empirical results and a...

Compressed Words and Automorphisms in Fully Residually Free Groups
We show that the compressed word problem in a finitely generated fully residually free group (F-group) is decidable in polynomial time, and use this result to show that the word ...

Average-case complexity and decision problems in group theory
Abstract. We investigate the average-case complexity of decision problems for finitely generated groups, in particular the word and membership problems. Using our recent results on...

An Algebraic Characterization of the Halting Probability
Using 1947 work of Post showing that the word problem for semigroups is unsolvable, we explicitly exhibit an algebraic characterization of the bits of the halting probability Ω....

Efficient solutions to the braid isotopy problem
We describe the most efficient solutions to the word problem of Artin's braid group known so far, i.e., in other words, the most efficient solutions to the braid isotopy probl...

Inverse Monoids: Decidability and Complexity of Algebraic Questions
This paper investigates the word problem for inverse monoids generated by a set Γ subject to relations of the form e = f, where e and f are both idempotents in the free inverse m...
