Abstract

Line digraphs can be obtained by sequences of state splittings, a particular kind of operation widely used in symbolic dynamics [12]. Properties of line digraphs inherited from the source have been studied, for instance in [7] Harminc showed that the cardinalities of the sets of kernels and solutions (kernel's dual definition) of a digraph and its line digraph coincide. We extend this for (k,l)-kernels in the context of state splittings and also look at (k,l)-semikernels, k-Grundy functions and their duals.

Keywords: state splitting, line digraph, kernel, Grundy function, duality.
