چکیده

We consider equality sets of prefix morphisms, that is, sets EG(g1, g2) = {w | g1(w) = g2(w)}, where g1 and g2 are prefix morphisms. Recall that a morphism g is prefix if, for all different letters a and b, g(a) is not a prefix of g(b). We prove a rather surprising equality on families of languages, namely, that the family of regular star languages coincides with the family of languages of form πA(EG(g1, g2)) for some prefix morphisms g1 and g2, and a projection πA which deletes the letters not in A.

Equality sets for recursively enumerable languages

We consider shifted equality sets of the form EG(a, g1, g2) = {w | g1(w) = ag2(w)}, where g1 and g2 are nonerasing morphisms and a is a letter. We are interested in the family consisting of the languages h(EG(J)), where h is a coding and EG(J) is a shifted equality set. We prove several closure properties for this family. Moreover, we show that every every recursively enumerable language L ⊆ A∗...

State Complexity of Combined Operations for Prefix-Free Regular Languages

We investigate the state complexity of combined operations for prefix-free regular languages. Prefix-free minimal deterministic finitestate automata have a unique structural property that plays an important role to obtain the precise state complexity of basic operations. Based on the same property, we establish the precise state complexity of four combined operations: star-of-union, star-of-int...

When Does Partial Commutative Closure Preserve Regularity?

The closure of a regular language under commutation or partial commutation has been extensively studied [1, 11, 12, 13], notably in connection with regular model checking [2, 3, 7] or in the study of Mazurkiewicz traces, one of the models of parallelism [14, 15, 16, 22]. We refer the reader to the survey [10, 9] or to the recent articles of Ochmański [17, 18, 19] for further references. In this...

State Complexity of Prefix-Free Regular Languages

We investigate the state complexities of basic operations for prefix-free regular languages. The state complexity of an operation for regular languages is the number of states that are necessary and sufficient in the worst-case for the minimal deterministic finite-state automaton (DFA) that accepts the language obtained from the operation. We know that a regular language is prefix-free if and o...

Characterizing the Regular Prefix Codes and Right Power-Bounded Languages

This paper was motivated by the work of Thierrin [8], where right power-bounded languages are introduced as those languages L having an upper bound n so that k < n whenever uvk E L with v # X. Such languages are related to various versions of noncounting languages (see, e.g. [ 1,6]). Two natural questions about the family R of regular right-power bounded languages are, first, a characterization...
