Language Equations with Symmetric Difference

TL;DR: The paper investigates the expressive power of language equations with the operations of concatenation and symmetric difference by demonstrating that the sets representable by unique solutions of such equations are exactly the recursively enumerable sets (their complements, respectively).

On equations for regular languages, finite automata, and sequential networks☆

TL;DR: It is shown that any system of equations of the form X i = ⋃ α∈A α·F i,a ∪δ i i=1,…,n has a unique solution which, moreover, is regular.

Succinct representation of regular languages by boolean automata II

TL;DR: A precisely attainable lower bound on the succinctness of representing regular languages by boolean automata is shown; namely, it is shown that, for every n ⩾ 1, there exists a reduced automaton D n with n states such that the smallest boolean automaton accepting the same language has also n states.

Generalized nondeterminism and the succinct representation of regular languages

TL;DR: It is concluded that the traditional nondeterministic nite automaton does not lend itself in particular to the succinct representation of regular languages.
