چکیده

In this paper, we characterize exactly the class of languages that are recognizable by nite loops, i.e. by cancellative binary algebras with an identity. This turns out to be the well-studied class of regular open languages. Our proof technique is interesting in itself: we generalize the operation of block product of monoids, which is so useful in the associative case, to the situation where the left factor in the product is non-associative.

Conservative Groupoids Recognize Only Regular Languages

The notion of recognition of a language by a finite semigroup can be generalized to recognition by finite groupoids, i.e. sets equipped with a binary operation ‘ · ’ which is not necessarily associative. It is well known that L can be recognized by a groupoid iff L is context-free. But it is also known that some subclasses of groupoids can only recognize regular languages. For example, loops re...

TOPOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION FOR FUZZY REGULAR LANGUAGES

We present a topological characterization for fuzzy regular languages: we show that there is a bijective correspondence between fuzzy regular languages and the set of all clopen fuzzy subsets with finite image in the induced fuzzy topological space of Stone space (Profinite space), and then we give a representation of closed fuzzy subsets in the induced fuzzy topological space via fuzzy regular...

Power of Randomization in Automata on Infinite Strings

Probabilistic Büchi Automata (PBA) are randomized, finite state automata that process input strings of infinite length. Based on the threshold chosen for the acceptance probability, different classes of languages can be defined. In this paper, we present a number of results that clarify the power of such machines and properties of the languages they define. The broad themes we focus on are as f...

Multidimensional fuzzy finite tree automata

This paper introduces the notion of multidimensional fuzzy finite tree automata (MFFTA) and investigates its closure properties from the area of automata and language theory. MFFTA are a superclass of fuzzy tree automata whose behavior is generalized to adapt to multidimensional fuzzy sets. An MFFTA recognizes a multidimensional fuzzy tree language which is a regular tree language so that for e...

On monotone languages and their characterization by regular expressions

In one of their papers, F. Gécseg and B. Imreh gave a characterization for monotone string languages by regular expressions. It has turned out that the monotone string languages are exactly those languages that can be represented by finite unions of seminormal chain languages. In this paper a similar characterization is given for monotone DR-languages.
