In this paper, we partially find an answer to the question: Is there a relationship between the algebraic properties efficiency (or inefficiency) and solvability of the word problem?. In fact, by considering the semi-direct product on special monoids, we show that efficiency and inefficiency are not completely independent properties to prove the solvability of the word problem over monoids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
