摘要
We study inverse monoids presented by a finite set of generators and one relation e = 1, where e is a word representing an idempotent in the free inverse monoid, and 1 is the empty word. We show that (1) the word problem is solvable by a polynomial-time algorithm; (2) every congruence class (in the free monoid) with respect to such a presentation is a deterministic context-free language. Such congruence classes can be viewed as generalizations of parenthesis languages; and (3) the word problem is solvable by a linear-time algorithm in the more special case where e is a ''positively labeled'' idempotent.
