We consider the following decision problem: "Is a rational ω-language generated by a code ?" Since 1994, the codes admit a characterization in terms of infinite words. We derive from this result the definition of a new class of languages, the reduced languages. A code is a reduced language but the converse does not hold. The idea is to "reduce" easy-to-obtain minimal ω-generators in order to obtain codes as ω-generators. Proposition 3. [14] Let L be a language. If L ω is an adherence then χ(L ω) and Stab(L ω) coincide with the greatest ω-generator of L ω .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
