....relation by Lemma 2.1, and thus it is sufficient to show that the problem whether a rational relation K is equivalent to R is decidable. This problem reduces, again by Lemma 2.1, to checking whether two finite 5 relations K 0 and R are equivalent. The latter problem was shown to be decidable in [5] by using Makanin s result, which states that one can effectively test whether an equation has a solution in a free semigroup. ut The analysis problem for finite F presententation is still open: Problem 1 For given finite X and R X is it decidable whether or not [X ; R] is an ....

....own right, it also provides more insight into the following question: Does there exist an independent system of three equations in three variables that has a nonperiodic solution If it does, it must contain balanced equations only. This question was implicitely raised by Culik II and Karhum aki [3] rst in 1983. This introduction is followed by the preliminaries, Section 2, where the notations for this article are xed. Section 3 introduces Spehner s [7] characterization of solutions of equations in three variables which is compared with an earlier result by Budkina and Markov [1] in ....

....y = b, and the system is independent as shown by the triples (x; y; z) a; b; aba) and (x; y; z) a; b; abba) Historical remarks. The original formulation of the Ehrenfeucht Compactness Property was in language theoretic set up, cf. KI] Its equivalence to the one stated here was noticed in [CuKII]. Problem 1 became natural when the validity of the Ehrenfeucht Compactness Property was established for free semigroups in 1985, cf. ALII] and [G] Surprisingly very little progress on the problem has been achieved, see however [KPlI] and [KPlII] It is also worth mentioning that although the ....
.... on the problem has been achieved, see however [KPlI] and [KPlII] It is also worth mentioning that although the compactness property holds both in free groups and in abelian monoids the answer to Problem 1 is negative in both of these cases, see [ALI] and [KPlI] Problem 3 occurred implicitely in [CuKII] and more explicitely in [KPlII] 3 4 Cumulative defect e ect Another fundamental property of words is revealed in so called defect theorem, which states that if a set X of n nonempty words satis es a nontrivial relation then there exists an F such that X F (1) and ....
