Abstract

' morphism for connecting flowgraphs are used in [CaU82] and in all of our subsequent papers on flowchart schemes and flownomials, see [Ste87a, Ste87b, CaS88a, CaS90a, CaS92]. This chapter folows Chapter B, sec. 3--6 of [Ste91]. The main result is based on a series of papers dealing with the algebraization of flowchart schemes, including [CaU82, BlEs85, Ste86/90, Bar87a, CaS88a, CaS90b]. With different sets of operators various algebras for flowgraphs appear in [Mil79, Parr87, CaS90b, CaS88b]. In the classical algebraic calculus for regular languages it is often the case that certain abstract semirings are used instead of the Boolean f0; 1g semiring, e.g. by using formal series with such coefficients. 5 This property is similar to the universal property of the polynomials over a ring. Chapter 6 Graph isomorphism with various constants In this chapter we extend the axiomatistion for flowgraphs modulo isomorphism to the case where more constants for generating relations are present i...
