Chinese monoid

In mathematics, the Chinese monoid is a monoid generated by a totally ordered alphabet with the relations cba = cab = bca for every a ≤ b ≤ c. An algorithm similar to Schensted's algorithm yields characterisation of the equivalence classes and a cross-section theorem. It was discovered by Duchamp & Krob (1994) during their classification of monoids with growth similar to that of the plactic monoid, and studied in detail by Julien Cassaigne, Marc Espie, Daniel Krob, Jean-Christophe Novelli, and Florent Hivert in 2001.^[1]

The Chinese monoid has a regular language cross-section

a^{*}\ (ba)^{*}b^{*}\ (ca)^{*}(cb)^{*}c^{*}\cdots

and hence polynomial growth of dimension ${\frac {n(n+1)}{2}}$ .^[2]
