Trace Monoid - Examples

Examples

Consider the alphabet . A possible dependency relation is

\begin{matrix} D &=& \{a,b\}\times\{a,b\} \quad \cup \quad \{a,c\}\times\{a,c\} \\ &=& \{a,b\}^2 \cup \{a,c\}^2 \\ &=& \{ (a,b),(b,a),(a,c),(c,a),(a,a),(b,b),(c,c)\} \end{matrix}

The corresponding independency is

Therefore, the letters commute. Thus, for example, a trace equivalence class for the string would be

The equivalence class is an element of the trace monoid.

    “Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
