For a wordwin an alphabet Γ, the alternation word digraphAlt(w), a certain directed acyclic graph associated withw, is presented as a means to analyze the free spectrum of the Perkins monoid. Letdenote the free spectrum of, letanbe the number of distinct alternation word digraphs on words whose alphabet is contained in {x1,...,xn}, and letpndenote the number of distinct labeled posets on {1,...,n}. The word problem for the Perkins semigroupis solved here in terms of alternation word digraphs: Roughly speaking, two wordsuandvare equivalent overif and only if certain alternation graphs associated withuandvare equal. This solution provides the main application, the bounds:. A result of the second author in a companion paper states that, from which it follows thatas well. Alternation word digraphs are of independent interest combinatorially. It is shown here that the computational complexity problem that has as instance {u,v} whereu,vare words of finite length, and question “IsAlt(u) =Alt(v)?”, is co-NP-complete. Additionally, alternation word digraphs are acyclic, and certain of them are natural extensions of posets; each realizer of a finite poset determines an extension by an alternation word digraph.
