Abstract

We introduce the notion of weak morphisms of trace monoids and use it to deal with the problem of deciding the existence of codings between trace monoids. We prove that this problem is not recursively enumerable, which answers the question raised by Ochmański in 1988. We also show its decidability when restricted to instances with domain monoids defined by acyclic dependence graphs.
