Recognizing splicing languages: Syntactic monoids and simultaneous pumping
We use syntactic monoid methods, together with an enhanced pumping lemma, to investigate the structure of splicing languages. We obtain an algorithm for deciding whether a regular...

The syntactic monoid of hairpin-free languages
The study of hairpin-free words has been initiated in the context of DNA computing. DNA strands that, theoretically speaking, are finite strings over the alphabet {A, G, C, T} are...

On Deterministic Finite Automata and Syntactic Monoid Size, Continued
We continue our investigation on the relationship between regular languages and syntactic monoid size. In this paper we confirm the conjecture on two generator transformation semi...

Piecewise Testable Tree Languages
— This paper presents a decidable characterization of tree languages that can be defined by a boolean combination of Σ1 formulas. This is a tree extension of the Simon theorem,...

A Topological Approach to Recognition
We propose a new approach to the notion of recognition, which departs from the classical definitions by three specific features. First, it does not rely on automata. Secondly, it...
