摘要: The uniform word problem for commutative semigroups (UWCS) is the of determining from any given finite set defining relations and pair words, whether words describe same element in semigroup defined by relations. effective decidability this classical algebraic was first explicitly noted Malcev [1958] Emilichev [1958], though retrospect result can be seen to contained earlier work Konig [1903] Hermann [1926] on polynomial ideals.
