Abstract
Systems of equations of the form X = Y + Z and X = C, in which the unknowns are sets of integers,”+” denotes pairwise sum of sets S + T = m + n m S, n T , and C is an ultimately periodic constant. When restricted to sets of natural numbers, such equations can be equally seen as language equations over a one-letter alphabet with concatenation and regular constants, and it is shown that such systems are computationally universal, in the sense that for every recursive set S N there exists a system with a unique solution containing T with S = n 16n + 13 T. For systems over sets of all integers, both positive and negative, there is a similar construction of a system with a unique solution S = {n|16n ∈ T} representing any hyper-arithmetical set S ⊆ N. Keywords: Language equations, Natural numbers, Equations of natural number.
