| Popis | A regular language L over an alphabet A is called piecewise testable if it is a finite Boolean combination of languages of the form B a1 B a2 B ... B al B, where a1,... ,al are letters from A and B is the set of all words over A. An effective characterization of piecewise testable languages was given in 1972 by Simon who proved that a language L is piecewise testable if and only if its syntactic monoid is J-trivial. Nowadays, there exist several proofs of this result based on various methods from algebraic theory of regular languages. Our contribution adds a new purely combinatorial proof. |
