Languages and tilings

This page gathers ideas for refactorization of sage.combinat.words and implementation of tilings.

You can subscribe to the associated mailing-list to discuss about this.

Structure

The refactorization of the current code should go in the patch #12224 which is almost done. Up to now the code is a bit dissaminated everywhere in Sage:

  • sage.categories
    • .languages: A language is a subset of A^N where A is a set called alphabet. It is naturally graded by N and the grading is called the length.
    • .factorial_languages: category of factorial languages
    • .shifts: the category of shift
  • sage.combinat.words
    • data structure for finite and infinite words
  • sage.monoids
    • .free_monoid: the free monoid (replaces sage.combinat.words.words.Words)
    • .free_monoid_morphism (replaces sage.combinat.words.morphism.WordMorphism)

  • sage.dynamics.symbolic
    • .full_shift: an implementation of the full shift (replaces sage.combinat.words.words.Words)
  • sage.combinat.languages
    • implementation of different languages
    • specific data structure (suffix tree/trie, rauzy graph, return tree, ...)

What is bad/nice with categories:

  • inheritance of generic code
  • a bit confusing for the user who want to find the implementation of a method
  • confusing for the person who writes the code and ask "where should I put this ?"
  • ...

What do we keep? What categories do we create?

Behavior of algorithms with infinite input data

What to do for equality of infinite words ?

What should do

sage: w1 == w2

Two possibilities:

  1. test the first XXX letters for finding a difference. If find one then returns False otherwise raise an error, "seems to be equal use .is_equal(force=True) to launch the infinite test".
  2. test all letters and never return True

Other suggestions ?

Subprojects

Finite languages and factor set

Most of it was implemented by Franco (suffix tree and suffix trie). We would like to enhance it and make a specific data structure (called Rauzy castle) for FiniteFactorialLanguages. See #12225.

Substitutive and adic languages

There are many algorithms for languages described by a sequence of substitutions (called a directive word). The particular case of morphic and purely morphic languages correspond respectively to periodic and purely_periodic directive words.

  • Enumeration of factors, desubstitution (#12227)

  • Factor complexity for purely morphic languages (#12231)

  • Equality for purely morphic languages (following J. Honkala, CANT, chapter 10)

Eventually periodic languages / words

They will be useful to define eventually periodic directive words for adic languages. See #12228.

TODO list

which should go in the main trac ticket

  • words path (currently in sage.combinat.words.paths) which have to be modified to fit with the new implementation

other todos

  • specific data structure rauzy graphs and return tree (Thierry)
  • 1-dim subshift of finite type / sofic
  • n-dim finite words and n-dimensional shifts
  • n-dim subshifts of finite type
  • n-dim substitutive subshift
  • cellular automata
  • ... add your whishes
