Abstract

This paper considers the word problem for free inverse monoids of finite rank from a language theory perspective. It is shown that no free inverse monoid has context-free word problem; that the word problem of the free inverse monoid of rank 1 is both 2-context-free (an intersection of two context-free languages) and ET0L; that the co-word problem of the free inverse monoid of rank 1 is context-free; and that the word problem of a free inverse monoid of rank greater than 1 is not poly-context-free.
