Fundamentals of Semigroup Theory (London Mathematical Society Monographs, 12) 1st Edition by John M. Howie (PDF)

Description

This book is an indispensable source for anyone with an interest in semigroup theory or whose research overlaps with this increasingly important and active field of mathematics. It clearly emphasizes “pure” semigroup theory, in particular the various classes of regular semigroups. More than 150 exercises, accompanied by relevant references to the literature, give pointers to areas of the subject not explicitly covered in the text.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review `The author succeeds admirably in his goal of providing an introduction to semigroup theory suitable for graduate students and non-specialists. At the same time, specialists will also find much to attract them. The book is highly readable, and the author takes pain to lead the reader gently through the longer proofs. I am sure that all specialists will want to own a copy of the book, that non-specialists will find it a most attractive and useful book for consulting, and that for many years to come research students will learn their subject from this book.’ Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society` The book provides a useful survey of a rapidly developing topic and is suitable for specialists and as an introduction to the subject for non-specialists and graduate students.’ Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.5, May 1996.`This book will still have its outstanding place as a general introduction to semigroup theory offering both an updated overview of the subject and a suitable entree for the graduate student’ Monatshefte fur Mathematik Vol. 124 1997`With this well-written and well-organised book I think the author has ensured that “Howie” will continue to be a byword for semigroup books’ Edinburgh Mathematical Society 1997 From the Back Cover The emphasis throughout is unashamedly on what might be called ‘pure’ semigroup theory; the inclusion of significant amount of application, for example, to automata, languages and machines, would have involved a huge, and probably unacceptable, increase in the length (and the price) of the book. The only mild genuflection in the direction of applied semigroup theory occurs in Chapter 7, where the brief section on variable length codes gives some hint a fascinating and continually developing field.
