ABSTRACT This paper continues the research on elementary D0L systems. In particular we provide an alternative (and simpler than the one presented in [1]) proof that the D0L (sequence) equivalence problem is decidable.

    ABSTRACT: We continue the study of interconnections between semigroup and language theory by studying D0L, DT0L and HDT0L sets in arbitrary monoids. We show that equivalence of D0L sets and strong equivalence of HDT0L sets are decidable in a suitable class of monoids. TUCS Research Group Mathematical Structures of Computer Science 1 Introduction Based on ideas from automata and language theory Eilenberg defined in an arbitrary monoid the classes of recognizable and rational subsets (see Eilenberg [4], Berstel [1] and Lallement [6]). Similarly one can define in an arbitrary monoid the sets corresponding to D0L, DT0L and HDT0L languages. We are going to discuss the equivalence problems of these sets. We define two different notions of equivalence corresponding to the sequence and language equivalence, respectively, studied in formal language theory. In the case of a finitely generated free monoid, it follows from language theory that the strong version of equivalence corresponding to sequence ...
