24 Right Quotients Definition (Right Quotient) Let L 1 and L 2 be languages on an alphabet Σ. The right quotient of L 1 with L 2 is L 1 /L 2 = {x xy L 1 for some y L 2 }. Theorem If L 1 and L 2 are regular languages, then L 1 /L 2 is regular. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Closure Properties of Regular Languages Wed, Sep 21, / 28

26 Right Quotients Proof. Let L 1 = L(M) and M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ). Define M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ) with F defined as follows. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Closure Properties of Regular Languages Wed, Sep 21, / 28

27 Right Quotients Proof. Let L 1 = L(M) and M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ). Define M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ) with F defined as follows. For each q i Q, let M i = (Q, Σ, δ, q i, F ). Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Closure Properties of Regular Languages Wed, Sep 21, / 28

30 Right Quotients Proof. Let L 1 = L(M) and M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ). Define M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ) with F defined as follows. For each q i Q, let M i = (Q, Σ, δ, q i, F ). Determine whether L(M i ) L 2 =. If L(M i ) L 2, then q i F. If L(M i ) L 2 =, then q i / F. Robb T. Koether (Hampden-Sydney College) Closure Properties of Regular Languages Wed, Sep 21, / 28

31 Right Quotients Proof. Let L 1 = L(M) and M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ). Define M = (Q, Σ, δ, q 0, F ) with F defined as follows. For each q i Q, let M i = (Q, Σ, δ, q i, F ). Determine whether L(M i ) L 2 =. If L(M i ) L 2, then q i F. If L(M i ) L 2 =, then q i / F. The idea is that x goes from q 0 to q i for some q i Q. y goes from q i to q f for some q f F and y L 2.

35 Assignment Assignment Section 4.1 Exercises 1a, 2, 4, 6b, 11, 12, 14, 16, 20. Is the family of regular languages closed under infinite union? That is, if L 1, L 2, L 3,... are regular languages, is L 1 L 2 L 3 necessarily a regular language? What about infinite intersections of regular languages? Must L 1 L 2 L 3 be regular? Robb T.
