The splitting method and Poincare's theorem: (II) - matrix, polynomial and language

Authors: M. Margenstern
Keywords: Hyperbolic tessellations, algorithmic approach.

Abstract

This paper is the continuation of the paper which appeared in the previous issue: we revisited Poincare's theorem in the light of the splitting method which was introduced by the author in [5], especially in the geometric aspect of the question.

This new part is also based on the definition of a combinatoric tiling which was detailed in the previous issue. Indeed, this definition has a natural algebraic continuation as long as it involves a matrix, hence a polynomial. We discuss here the connection of these objects which we provide the reader in full extent, with the notion of languages which are attached in such a case which we call the language of the splitting.

We show that in all the cases under study, the language of the splitting is not regular.
