ω-regular Language
In computer science and formal language theory, the ω-regular languages are a class of ω-languages that generalize the definition of regular languages to infinite words. As regular languages accept finite strings (such as strings beginning in an ''a'', or strings alternating between ''a'' and ''b''), ω-regular languages accept infinite words (such as, infinite sequences beginning in an ''a'', or infinite sequences alternating between ''a'' and ''b''). Formal definition An ω-language ''L'' is ω-regular if it has the form * ''A''ω where ''A'' is a regular language not containing the empty string * ''AB'', the concatenation of a regular language ''A'' and an ω-regular language ''B'' (Note that ''BA'' is ''not'' well-defined) * ''A'' ∪ ''B'' where ''A'' and ''B'' are ω-regular languages (this rule can only be applied finitely many times) The elements of ''A''ω are obtained by concatenating words from ''A'' infinitely many times. Note that if ''A'' is regular, ''A''ω is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Computer Science
Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. Computer science spans Theoretical computer science, theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to Applied science, applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of Computer architecture, hardware and Software engineering, software). Algorithms and data structures are central to computer science. The theory of computation concerns abstract models of computation and general classes of computational problem, problems that can be solved using them. The fields of cryptography and computer security involve studying the means for secure communication and preventing security vulnerabilities. Computer graphics (computer science), Computer graphics and computational geometry address the generation of images. Programming language theory considers different ways to describe computational processes, and database theory concerns the management of re ...
